Key Terms

follow-on investment, first lien, senior secured term debt

3 terms

follow-on investment financial

"pleased to announce that it recently completed a follow-on investment in its existing portfolio company"

A follow-on investment is an additional purchase of a company's stock or other securities made after an initial investment, either by existing investors or when a company issues more shares after its first public sale. It matters because it can signal confidence from insiders or raise fresh capital for growth, while also changing ownership stakes and potentially diluting existing shareholders — like an investor buying more slices of the same pizza, changing how the pie is shared.

first lien financial

"consisting of an additional $20.0 million first lien, senior secured term debt investment"

A first lien is a legal claim that gives a lender the top priority to be repaid from specific collateral if a borrower defaults or liquidates assets. Think of it as being first in line for the proceeds from a sale—investors who hold a first lien are more likely to recover their money than holders of later claims, so these loans generally carry lower risk and different pricing compared with unsecured or subordinated debt.

senior secured term debt financial

"consisting of an additional $20.0 million first lien, senior secured term debt investment"

Senior secured term debt is a loan a company must repay on a set schedule that is backed by specific assets as collateral and has top priority over other creditors if the company cannot pay. Think of it like a mortgage where the lender has first dibs on the pledged property; because it is both secured and senior, it is generally lower risk than unsecured or junior debt and affects a company’s interest costs, borrowing capacity and investor risk.
