Financing Advisory
NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX WORLD OF FINANCING
The fusion of financial experience, industry knowledge, extensive Wall Street relationships and Natixis’ financing platform enables Solomon Partners to provide sound advice to companies contemplating accessing the public or private capital markets.
PUBLIC MARKETS FINANCING
We advise clients considering accessing the public capital markets. We guide clients through critical structuring and market issues as they execute bank financings, leveraged loans, high-yield bond offerings, IPOs, secondary equity offerings or structured equity transactions. Our reputation in this area has allowed us to work collaboratively with Wall Street’s top underwriters for the benefit of our clients. We also may draw upon the expertise and market capabilities of Natixis, where appropriate, in the debt capital markets and with regard to strategic equity transactions such as stock backed financing strategies or accelerated share repurchase programs.
In our role as the client’s advisor throughout a public markets financing, we provide guidance in a number of key areas including:
- Analyzing financing alternatives and recommending appropriate financing structures
- Identifying potential underwriters and selecting the managing underwriters
- Advising our client on the terms of the offering, including size of the offering, pricing and covenants
- Monitoring market conditions
PRIVATE PLACEMENTS
Acting as an agent in a private placement of senior debt, subordinated debt or equity, we capitalize on our extensive relationships with asset-based lenders, insurance companies, mezzanine funds, hedge funds, direct lenders and private equity firms to raise highly structured capital for acquisitions, fixed asset expansions, special situations, or recapitalizations.
