RESTRUCTURING & EXIT FINANCE

Restructuring & Exit Finance

Capital solutions for refinancing, asset stabilisation, restructuring and transitional situations where existing financing no longer matches the asset or business plan.

Creating a route from financial pressure to a viable exit

Real estate financing requirements can change materially during the life of an investment. Loan maturities, changing interest costs, construction delays, slower sales, leasing risk or a revised business plan can create a mismatch between an existing facility and the underlying asset strategy.

KSCG advises investors, developers and sponsors on financing solutions designed to create additional time, liquidity or structural flexibility.

The objective is to establish a credible route from the current financing position towards stabilisation, refinancing, asset disposal or another sustainable long-term solution.

Applications

Where restructuring and exit finance is used

01

Loan Maturity

Replacement financing where an existing facility is approaching maturity before the asset or business plan is ready for its intended exit.

02

Refinancing Pressure

Capital solutions where existing debt needs to be refinanced but conventional long-term financing is not yet available.

03

Asset Stabilisation

Financing to provide additional time for lease-up, refurbishment, sales or operational improvement.

04

Development Completion

Capital required to complete a development or resolve a funding shortfall before practical completion.

05

Bridge to Sale

Short-term financing that creates sufficient time for an orderly asset or portfolio disposal.

06

Capital Restructuring

Reorganisation of senior, subordinated or sponsor capital where the existing structure is no longer appropriate.

Capital Structure

Financing solutions built around the required exit

Restructuring finance is highly transaction-specific. The appropriate solution depends on asset value, existing debt, remaining capital requirements, cash flow, timing and the credibility of the proposed exit strategy.

Depending on the situation, KSCG can assess refinancing, bridge facilities, development exit finance and structured capital solutions.

Refinancing

Replacement of an existing facility with financing better aligned to the current asset and business plan.

Exit Bridge

Short-term financing designed to provide additional time ahead of refinancing, stabilisation or disposal.

Development Exit

Financing following practical completion while sales, lease-up or longer-term refinancing is completed.

Structured Capital

Bespoke capital structures for situations where a conventional senior refinancing cannot provide the required solution.

Underwriting

Key financing considerations

01

Current Asset Value

The present market value and lender security position relative to the existing and proposed debt.

02

Existing Debt

Current facility balances, maturity dates, ranking, security and any existing lender constraints.

03

Capital Requirement

The amount required to refinance existing debt and fund any remaining capex, interest or transaction costs.

04

Business Plan

The actions required to reach stabilisation, completion, refinancing or sale.

05

Time to Exit

The realistic period required to execute the proposed repayment or restructuring strategy.

06

Exit Certainty

The quality and credibility of the proposed refinancing, disposal or long-term financing route.

Our Approach

Resolving the financing structure before options narrow

Restructuring situations are often time-sensitive. The earlier the financing position is assessed, the wider the range of potential solutions generally remains available.

KSCG reviews the existing capital structure, identifies the funding gap and evaluates realistic refinancing and exit alternatives before approaching suitable capital providers.

01

Analyse

Review the asset, existing financing, remaining capital requirement and key transaction deadlines.

02

Restructure

Determine a viable financing structure and credible path towards repayment or stabilisation.

03

Source

Identify lenders and alternative capital providers capable of executing within the required timetable.

04

Execute

Coordinate proposals, negotiations, lender due diligence, documentation and closing.
