2Project Finance: From BankingSolutions To Capital Market SolutionsPresented ByCalyon Corporate and Investment Banking

3IntroductionzEvolution of financing options available to finance single assetszCapital Market SolutionszCase StudyzPerspectives

4Project Finance TransactionszPredominantly a commercial bank marketzApplicable to high maintenance transactions Heavily covenanted Typically requires close monitoring, especially during construction phase Requires asset expertise to grasp the stakes Typically assets with long lives best suited for long term financings

5Evolution towards Capital MarketszDrivers: Sponsor standpoint:zBank mini-perm take out refinancingszDecrease in credit spreads for long tenorsInvestors standpoint:zzzOverall decrease in corporate yields make this class of assets attractiveSavvy investors have the capability to analyze and assess project financetransactionsTwo types of capital market avenues: Project Bonds Term B Loan

6Capital Markets Solutions

7Capital Markets: Term Loan BzSub-Investment Grade Issues:zIncludes so-called “Term Loan B” market, high-yield market, both also called the “leveraged loan”market – overlapping investors with a variety of preferred investment currencies.z“Term B”: variable rate fully-funded term loans, usually large liquid issues, short maturities (7 to 10years), cash sweeps instead of scheduled amortization; limited financial ratio maintenancecovenants.z“High Yield”: includes smaller issues requiring less liquidity, longer term, fixed coupon, little or noamortization; limited financial “occurrence covenants.”zSub-Investment grade transactions in PF world tend to involve acquisitions rather than new builds.zIssuers tend to be privately-owned, with less credit-rating sensitivity, often smaller developersteamed up with private equity.zIncreasing leverage is the primary objective of these issues; speed of execution and flexibility areother objectives – pricing is less important.

8Capital Markets : Project Bondszz“The Project Bond Market”: refers to private placement type of issues(Typically Reg. D or 144A)backed by single assets financed in a projectfinance way.Specific features of Project Bonds include: Fixed coupons Long tenors and deferred amortization Make whole premium in case of prepayment Typically limited number of disbursements over a relatively short period of time.zProject Bonds are principally issued in refinancings for new builds or bridgeloan takeouts for acquisitions.zIssuer-sponsors tend to be strong “strategics” or public companies protectinghigh credit ratings and share prices.

Are Capital Markets Products Replacing Bank Loans inProject Finance?zUS Experience: Capital demand is concentrated in acquisitions rather than new builds right nowProject Bonds (senior tranche investment grade) continue to take their share of the market,principally as a refinancing solution for project initially bank-financed. Project bonds typicallymonetize an improving or stabilizing credit story. (e.g. completed power plant; up-ratedinfrastructure).Leveraged loans (B loans, high yield) are marginalizing the bank solution in acquisitions andcertain refinancing (especially merchant power).zProject Finance banks have credit tolerances that are too narrowzB loans provide faster execution and less structure than Project Finance banks.zProject bank loans still prevail in construction situations, bridges to bond take-outs andsmaller projects.zBond can be combined with Bank Tranches and with Bank providing supportingLetters of Credit and Working Capital facilities.13
