Слайд 8
Structure Highlights
SPV - Independent, single purpose company formed
to build and operate the project.
Extensive contracting
As many
as 15 parties in up to 1000 contracts.
Contracts govern inputs, off take, construction and operation.
Government contracts/concessions: one off or operate-transfer.
Ancillary contracts include financial hedges, insurance for Force Majeure, etc.

Highly concentrated equity and debt ownership
One
to three equity sponsors.
Syndicate of banks and/or financial institutions
provide credit.
Governing Board comprised of mainly affiliated directors from sponsoring firms/ independent directors
Extremely high debt levels
Mean debt of 70% and as high as nearly 95%.
Balance of capital provided by sponsors in the form of equity or quasi equity (subordinated debt).
Debt is non-recourse to the sponsors.
Debt service depends exclusively on project revenues.
Has higher spreads than corporate debt.
Слайд 10
Disadvantages of Project Financing
Often takes longer to structure
than equivalent size corporate finance.
Higher transaction costs (~60bp) due
to creation of an independent entity.
Project debt is substantially more expensive (50-400 bp) due to its non-recourse nature.
Extensive contracting restricts managerial decision making.
Project finance requires greater disclosure of proprietary information and strategic deals.
