Key Terms

first lien, senior secured, revolver, delayed draw term loan

4 terms

first lien financial

"The following represent notable new private loan commitments and investments during the second quarter of 2026:$81.5 million in a first lien senior secured term loan"

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 financial

"The following represent notable new private loan commitments and investments during the second quarter of 2026:$81.5 million in a first lien senior secured term loan"

Senior secured describes a loan or bond that has first claim on a company’s assets and is backed by specific collateral, like a mortgage on property. For investors, that means they are paid before other creditors if the company struggles or is liquidated, reducing the chance of loss compared with unsecured or junior debt. Think of it as a front-of-the-line, collateral-backed claim that typically carries lower interest because of that added protection.

revolver financial

"$81.5 million in a first lien senior secured term loan, $24.4 million in a first lien senior secured revolver and $32.6 million"

A revolver is a revolving credit facility — a line of borrowing a company can draw, repay and draw again as needed, similar to a corporate credit card for short-term cash needs. It matters to investors because it provides liquidity and flexibility to cover expenses, smooth cash flow swings, or bridge financing gaps; the size, cost and covenants of the revolver affect a company’s interest costs, financial health and default risk.

delayed draw term loan financial

"$24.4 million in a first lien senior secured revolver and $32.6 million in a first lien senior secured delayed draw term loan"

A delayed draw term loan is a financing agreement that lets a borrower take one or more lump-sum loans from a lender at agreed future dates within a set time window instead of receiving all funds up front. It matters to investors because it changes when and how much debt a company will carry, affecting cash flexibility, interest costs and risk exposure—think of it like an approved credit line you only tap when you need cash for a project.
