Practice Notes

This Practice Note explains what bridge to bond facilities are and how a bridging loan can be used as an interim facility in an acquisition finance transaction until high yield bonds are issued as more permanent financing. It explains the mechanics of these facilities, their key documents and terms and typical deal structures. It also provides practical guidance for negotiating these facilities and looks at the differences between US and European practice.
