easy · Private Equity

A distressed debt investor follows a 'loan-to-own' strategy.

What is the ultimate objective of this investment approach?

  1. To earn a high interest coupon on senior secured debt that is very unlikely to ever default or face distress.
  2. To acquire a debt position that will be converted into a controlling equity stake through a restructuring or bankruptcy.
  3. To buy senior debt at 95% of par value in the secondary market and sell it at par once the company is refinanced.
  4. To provide short-term rescue liquidity to a distressed company facing an imminent covenant breach, in exchange for equity warrants.
