Our expertise

Private Equity investors are « Buy & Hold » investors.
They traditionally fall into three categories:

The market provides transactions tailored to the specific needs of issuers in terms of maturity, size and structure - Multiple tranches with no minimum size
- US dollar, Euro or GBP
- « Off-the-run » maturities
- Delayed draws and shelfs (undrawn envelopes)

The US PP market represents a prime segment for issuers whose needs are « too small » to access the bond market with a benchmark size of $500M/€500M

Long/very long maturities remain the preference of investors (71% at 10 years and beyond)

Our model

  • Caneyan Finance has developed an original approach called « Reverse Private Placement » which allows to avoid the cumbersome and risky execution associated with traditional private placements
  • To do so, Caneyan relies on a historical relationship with some major private equity investors
  • Our investors, looking for diversification and yield, and in a situation of excess liquidity, have developed a strong interest in bilateral interest in bilateral transactions that allow them to build a real relationship of trust with issuers in the framework of issuers in the framework of long-term partnerships
  • The bilateral approach allows the issuer to obtain a "tailor-made" transaction, with full discretion and without execution risk

Sequencing

  • Study of market conditions and initial contact with potential investors
  • Preparation, jointly with the company, of the document entitled "Company's Profile" (update of the credit profile, review of market shares, etc.). This Info Memo must tell a "credit story" whose content and form meet the specific expectations of this investor population
  • Estimation of the financial conditions of the Transaction (interest rate, nominal amount of the issue and maturity), and drafting of terms and conditions (« Term Sheet »)
  • If interest is confirmed on acceptable terms, a meeting will be organized with the company's management
  • Investors' agreement to the proposed terms
  • If the conditions of the Transaction summarized in the Term Sheet are approved by the Company, Caneyan Finance will assist and accompany the Company in its negotiations with the selected investors
  • Pricing of the Transaction
  • The Transaction will be completed subject to the completion of « due diligence » as defined in the Term Sheet
  • Funding and closing
