Associated Bank as Bookrunner & Lead Arranger
Associated Bank offers the knowledge, experience and track record you need when structuring a successful loan syndication transaction. We’ll ensure that all aspects will be adequately considered and covered.
With your goals and plan at top of mind, we’ll streamline the syndication process by leading, arranging and structuring the financing. You’ll only need to work with us, as we take on the responsibility of coordinating and managing prospective lenders and executing other related elements in the process including:
- Invite letters
- Marketing materials and information memos
- Logistics and presentations for bank meetings
- Updated reports with feedback from prospective lenders, progress summaries and recommended actions
In addition, our team will lead the negotiation and drafting of the credit agreement and ensure that related terms and conditions are agreed upon, accepted and followed.
Associated Bank as Agent
Associated Bank can act as administrative agent, which provides several important benefits:
Leadership
Associated Bank serves as the primary liaison with participating banks, sets structure for future transactions, serves as a funding conduit and provides the anchor commitment.
Enhanced execution
We'll streamline syndications, reducing legal costs, avoiding one-off bank talks and providing one covenant package to track and manage.
Bank access
Your growth will be supported through scalable lending capacity, expanded bank partner options and improved banker coverage.
Easier administration
As your agent, all funding, fees and interest will be channeled through us, and we will centralize reporting and distribute voting rights to the bank group.
