Structured Finance

We structure financings for highly leveraged Italian and international borrowers on the basis of the borrowers' capacity to generate cash flows through the ordinary sale of goods and services according to cash flow financing rationales.

The purpose of these financings can be to acquire companies or business units, to fund significant investments in fixed assets or to refinance over the medium term existing short-term indebtedness.

Within this activity, we operate in favour of companies who are already clients of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group or with specialized financial investors, such as private equity funds in the case of leveraged buyouts.

We offer solutions for complex financing transactions to companies operating in Italy and abroad in the following sectors: energy (including generation from renewable sources and energy infrastructures), telecommunications, media and technology, transportation and infrastructure (including social infrastructure).

Leveraging on our in-depth knowledge of these sectors and our long-standing track record, we structure and provide medium/long-term financing using the different techniques of project finance, acquisition finance, cash flow lending and asset-based lending.

We ensure the structuring, execution and loan management, both bilateral and in pool, for corporate, domestic and international, for which a redefinition of the capital structure is necessary, as a consequence of a temporary financial downturn or a potential deterioration of the economics, taking into account the level of risk/resilience of the business sector.

We are focused on transactions that require, due to their structural complexity and strategic nature, a tailor-made approach aimed at identifying best forms of financial support, assisting clients in their most challenging phases towards a progressive financial re-establishment and, at the same time helping to preserve the value of credit and mitigate impacts on the bank’s provisioning.

We manage contractual agency activity supplying specialized financial services, offered to all clients who need assistance in finalizing their financial and commercial transactions.

The array of services available has been expanded over the years due to the greater penetration of the target Italian and international market.

The activities include verifying the effectiveness of contractual conditions, the periodic compliance obligations, managing waivers, amendments, real estate divestitures, accounts subject to legal restrictions, and waterfall clauses.

New commercial and financial services have been developed such as: closing solutions of corporate transactions, management of guarantee commitments, verification of conditions for termination of agreements, Escrow Agent, Security Agent, SACE Agent, Bei Agent, CdP Agent and Fronting Bank.
