Mezzanine
financing may include
subordinated debt and often the terms are, mistakenly, interchangeable.
Mezzanine financing includes a broad array of financing vehicles including
various forms of debt and various forms of equity.
Mezzanine
financing is the
"level" of financing between Senior Debt and Common Equity. Similar to the
mezzanine in a theater which is between the main floor and upper floor.
Most of the time, however, the term
"mezzanine" is used in financing acquisitions.
When acquiring a company, a
number of funding sources are often used.
These usually consist of Equity and
Senior Debt.
However when the purchase price of a company is greater than the amount
raised through Equity sources and Senior Debt, then a "mezzanine" level of
financing needs to be put into place to bridge the gap.
This mezzanine financing is
usually provided by professionally managed funds that specialize in this type of
financing.
