Key Terms
delayed-draw term loan facilityfinancial
A delayed-draw term loan facility is a committed loan arrangement where lenders agree in advance to make a fixed amount of cash available for the borrower to draw down at one or more specified future dates, typically after certain conditions are met. It matters to investors because tapping that reserved funding increases a company's debt, interest costs and liquidity buffers—similar to activating a reserved emergency account for a big purchase—which can affect leverage, creditworthiness and the stock’s risk profile.
SOFRfinancial
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.
basis pointsfinancial
Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.
unsecured term loan facilityfinancial
A secured term loan facility is a chunk of borrowed money a company gets for a set period with scheduled repayments, arranged through one or more lenders; “unsecured” means the loan is not backed by specific assets as collateral. Think of it like borrowing from a lender based on your word and credit rather than leaving a valuable item as security. Investors watch these loans because they increase a company’s debt load, affect cash flow through interest payments, and rank lower for repayment if the company faces bankruptcy, so they signal higher credit risk and can influence valuation and credit ratings.
