Commerzbank`s approach • Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft as „German Mittelstandsbank“ • Long lasting experience in non-performing business • Primary focus is to restructure transactions in order to benefit from upside potential ... however, ...
Advantages of a Secondary Market Transaction • Commerzbank AG considers approaching the secondary market, only if that seems more opportune than restructuring a disstressed situation; e.g.: • Release of Capital • Time Value of Money • Minimising Risk • Optimising Portfolio Structure • Reduction of Capacity Load
Lessons learned... • Confidentiality: some parties tend not to respect confidentiality as sometimes Information pertaining to the trade and/or conditions leaks out • Transfer of assets • Challenge: • „consent of borrower “ • „consent of third parties“ (e.g. State Guaranties) • Delay of closing • Pool-Parties exclude Transferlanguage in Pool-Agrements ... for a successful trade
Recent market trends • Status quo: Broker-Dealers act as intermediary • End Investors • Sellers • Migration from Portfolio Transactions to Singel Asset Trades • Multiplicity of transactions and development of a more sophisticated market Hedgefunds try to get direct access to sellers • Broker-Dealers and Hedgefunds try to set up Joint-Ventures with sellers
Thank you for your attention. Jens-Georg Nawrath
