Practical Law – What’s Market: Liability Management Transactions

A Practice Note providing a brief overview of liability management transactions (LMTs), focusing on drop-down financings, uptiering transactions (also known as uptier transactions), and double-dip transactions. Borrowers may use these transactions to enhance liquidity, reduce debt burdens, or extend maturities, often within existing financing terms or through amendments. This Note highlights the impact of LMTs on credit agreements and the increasing use of protective mechanisms, such as so-called J.Crew, Chewy, Envision, and Serta provisions. This Note explores the evolving nature of these blocker provisions and provides examples of recent language. Examples will be added semi-annually.
