12 Example:- ◦ Target company de-merged into ‘PropCo’, which owns the real estate assets, and ‘OpCo’, the operating company. ◦ Banks finance ‘PropCo’ acquisition of properties at agreed Loan to Value ratio. ◦ ‘PropCo’ leases the real estate assets to ‘OpCo’. ◦ ‘PropCo’ debt refinanced by traditional Property Lenders or via Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) market. ◦ ‘OpCo’ required to service the acquisition debt not assumed by ‘PropCo’. By structuring the financing of a pool of assets with a credit quality stronger than the corporate credit as a whole, ‘OpCo’ \ ‘PropCo’ financing can provide a cost effective source of (acquisition) financing.
