Dividend Recap Question
If I am modeling a dividend recap, and breaking down the returns to each tranche of investor in the business.
My main question was: Are dividend recaps usually financed by the same lenders that lent the original capital? For example, if I'm calculating the returns to the Term Loan B, would I assume that they also financed the dividend recap, or would I assume a new lender performed the recap?
Not necessarily by the same lender. It is critical to understand why it is happening. I can suggest you a template to model it. Very clear and simple.
Hey man - would really appreciate that. Thanks!
Send me a PM and will provide it. Hope it helps.
Mind sending my way too? Thank you!

I can weigh in. I have a different answer from the loan capital markets & syndicate side 1) LBO (RC / TLB) to institutional investors. So let's say you financed an LBO (RC / TLB) to institutional investors. They got approved in committee, and are comfortable w/ the company, industry, etc. So you have overcome that hurdle. 2) Div/Recap (RC / TLB or RC / 1L TLB / 2L TLB most likely) to institutional investors -typically, we would reach out to existing lenders prior to retail syndication (high probability lenders all else equal). Maybe try to get some good feedback / price discovery / increase momentum prior to launch. -A good number of them may / do commit to the Div/Recap, but not all (looking at 1 deal - 5/8 existing lenders committed, so they made up 5/13 of the lenders in the new deal). -the ones that declined did not feel comfortable w the re-leveraging or leverage level -also those existing that committed to the div/recap had a higher % allocation to the initial deal - were more invested. Just looking at 1 sample, I think thats more case by case. -but i think if they like the company, pricing is good, and are comfortable w/ the leverage and cash flow generation to to pay down debt in the future and all that - they would consider the Div/Recap, IMO. Happy to hear from other folks And happy to DM and discuss questions you have if you are asking about pricing of the Div/Recap and structure and such
