This bestselling book has
been fully updated and revised to take account of all the changes in the rapidly evolving
market for syndicated credits. The book provides practical explanations by borrowers and
bankers of how to arrange, lead and manage a syndicated loan and includes an up to date
discussion of documentary issues (contributed by Clifford Chance). Again edited by Tony
Rhodes and written by him in association with several other leading practitioners, this
book allows you to benefit from several decades of combined syndicated lending expertise.
The book takes the reader through the various stages of syndicated lending from the
opening phase of seeking a mandate through to syndicating, documenting and the closing of
a transaction. The seven detailed chapters discuss: revolving credit facilities and
amortising term loans; an assessment of the factors to be considered when deciding to bid
alone or in a group; documenting a syndicated loan; secondary market transfer mechanisms;
steps for restructuring transactions involving syndicates; and a view of the future of the
syndication market. The book also includes a comprehensive glossary and regulatory
guidance making it the essential companion for any syndicated lending practitioner.
