‘Op. Co Prop. Co’ Financing (1) By structuring the financing of a pool of assets with a credit quality stronger than the corporate credit as a whole, ‘Op. Co’ ‘Prop. Co’ financing can provide a cost effective source of (acquisition) financing. Example: ◦ Target company de-merged into ‘Prop. Co’, which owns the real estate assets, and ‘Op. Co’, the operating company. ◦ Banks finance ‘Prop. Co’ acquisition of properties at agreed Loan to Value ratio. ◦ ‘Prop. Co’ leases the real estate assets to ‘Op. Co’. ◦ ‘Prop. Co’ debt refinanced by traditional Property Lenders or via Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) market. ◦ ‘Op. Co’ required to service the acquisition debt not assumed by ‘Prop. Co’.
