How a private credit agreement was negotiated before exclusivity
Description
An old adage is proving true in the private credit markets: it takes money to make money. Or maybe more accurately in this case, it takes billable hours to make money.
In this episode of Cloud 9fin, head of private credit Josie Shillito digs into Dominus Capital’s buyout of Creative Outdoor Advertising with reporters Tom Quinn and Anna Russi. They unpack their recent article, which gives a behind-the-scenes view into how the sponsor front-loaded a negotiated credit agreement with Twin Brook before entering exclusivity with the seller.
It’s another example of an emerging strategy to win deals on speed and certainty in a tight lower middle market. They discuss what the bold move signals for lenders, lawyers, and future auctions.
