Why do secured lenders care about TNW?
Why do secured lenders care about Tangible Net Worth?
So you often see minimum TNW covenants in corporate loan agreements. By my question is, why do secured first lien lenders even care about tangible net worth?
I get it is arguably the liquidation value of the business, but as a first lien lender, wouldn’t you only care about asset coverage as you will be repaid regardless given the first lien provided there is adequate liquidation value of assets?
Even if a company displayed negative TNW, provided you had asset coverage on your loan you would still be able to recoup your investment. TNW seems unimportant in this scenario - perhaps only for sub or unsecured lenders
