If banks, their overheads and costing structures are “disintermediated” and finance is sourced directly from deep and liquid capital markets, competitive funding advantages arise for borrowers able to tap into such markets.

In a recent transaction, key operating companies of the Tussaud Group granted mortgages over the shares of companies located in markets where direct security was not possible together with covenants to ensure that such “downstream” companies did not incur debts or grant security over or dispose of their assets. Bond trustees are also less influenced by relationship factors than an agent bank on a bank deal. Once isolated from the originator’s credit risk, such cash flows can be used to back securities issued in the capital markets — called “asset-backed securities” or “ABS” — having a higher rating than securities issued by the originator! (This would not be the case if notice of the assignment were given to the debtor by the seller — a perfected “legal” assignment.) Typical credit enhancement alternatives include injecting “extra” financial assets into the securitization — such as additional receivables — and using reserve accounts and credit wraps (such as insurance and letters of credit from third parties). 0 The marketable securities are then sold to third-party investors. The cash flows of the target group as a whole are applied to repay the loans to the issuer and to repay the rated securities to investors. Tax issues are major concerns. In this regard, the term and regularity of payment of the asset pool will be a deal driver as will the credit quality of the pool. Another issue is asset isolation. related.

Currently, the penalty for non-compliance is a punitive capital charge against investors’ balance sheets. Both were found to have big loopholes in the structure when they went wrong. More adaptations of the whole business securitization structure will certainly follow as the pace of international securitization increases and as originators in securitizable industries or sectors come to recognize the need to finance their businesses through the capital markets to ensure they are not at a competitive disadvantage. Almost all securitizations require credit “enhancement” to cover the risk of underlying obligors in the pool defaulting. In addition, first priority security interests must be granted over the assets of the operating company which should secure, in full, the principal and interest on the ABS. Private offerings, on the other hand, may contain customized or unusual terms. Banks, after all, charge margins on their cost of funds that need to cover capital adequacy costs, return on shareholders’ equity, funding costs and profit margins.

At a minimum, rating agencies require floating charges to be included in the security package for a “whole business” securitization. Legal issues to be considered include compliance with securities laws and laws governing conduct of investment activities. rather than backed by “assets” (accounts receivables, leases receivables, etc. With this growth has also come another feature: innovative securitization structures have been developed outside the United States, based on local legal concepts, that enable whole businesses rather than isolated receivables to be securitized. 0000003807 00000 n Th e decision to use whole-business securitiza-tion involves an explicit choice regarding the fi nancial structure concerned as well as mana-gerial involvement and control. trailer In some whole-business securitizations, it has been proposed that the manager be split off from the sponsor in a new bankruptcy-remote structure based on the theory that this effectively separates the parent’s bankruptcy risk from the servicing of the securitization transaction. He has been involved in and advised on a whole range of transactions from RMBS in prime and sub prime markets to whole business securitisations. The introduction of securitization-friendly laws in markets such as Italy and France has caused corporates and regulators to embrace securitization to such an extent that it is no longer viewed in such markets with suspicion but rather as an important and necessary finance technique. Whole business securitisation, and therefore pub securitisation, usually uses a secured loan structure whereby a loan is advanced by a special-purpose vehicle (the ‘issuer’) to a pubco, or ‘borrower’. Before describing the particular structures employed in operating-asset or whole-business securitization, it is perhaps worthwhile for me to explain the terminology “whole-business securitization” and … Administration is another issue. In order to rate a whole business securitization, rating agencies have adopted an approach that combines elements of a structured or securitization transaction and a corporate transaction. Most of the growth in ABS issuance is now taking place outside the United States where ABS issuance increased by 71.2% in 1999 over 1998 levels to $47.3 billion.

Administration and collection of the pool must also be considered, in particular, to minimize the risk of co-mingling of assets of the administrator and the pool. Also in the case of whole business securitizations, interest coverage ratios, debt-service-coverage ratios, debt-to-equity ratios and debt-to-earnings ratios are perceived to be more generous than in the case of bank-financed deals. Whole business securitisation The structure of a whole business secu-ritisation involves the issue of bonds by a special purpose company which then on-lends the proceeds on a secured basis to the operating company which holds the business assets. An important example of this was the October 1999 issue by London City Airport of £100 million 7.886% senior secured notes due 2021 in order to finance its activities.

An automatic stay on security enforcement can apply on the appointment of an administrator, and the administrator can dispose of assets charged to other creditors whether under fixed or floating charges. These “whole business” securitization structures have particular relevance to international project finance transactions and demonstrate that, increasingly, the demarcation between securitization and project finance is being blurred. If the marketable securities are to be offered to the public, then terms and conventions commonly used in the market must apply, including the need for the securities to be rated. In a default scenario, troublesome bank group dissenters are less likely to be prevalent as they will have been replaced by bondholders.
