No not the 80's hairstyle, but the short-term financing technique for PFI type transactions. Mini-perms hit the limelight following the financial crisis of 2008, when credit became less available and more costly. Now, seven years on, many mini-permanent loans are coming to maturity.
So what does this mean for the Project Finance sector? To help you understand this, and refinancing options, F1F9, the go-to experts for financial modelling, are hosting a webinar on the thorny issue next month.
Hosted by F1F9's Danny Leitch, Director Project Finance & PPP, with guests Nicolai Dillow, Managing Director, NordLB and Chip Haskell, Managing Director, The Vair Companies Inc, the webinar will cover:
The history and need for the mini-perm:
- Starting with the 2008 crisis
- How and why the mini-perm was structured
What next?
- Existing financial products that can address the refinancing
- Viability of new and different financial products that could compete for the refinancing
Risks and rewards to all capital providers:
- Products, players and their respective risk appetites
- Getting to financial close, and the timing and returns impact to the borrower
Register for the webinar "2015: The Start of Mini-Perm Debt Refinancing" on Thursday 2nd April 2015 at 2pm BST / 9am EDT.
