Abstract
The CFO of the medium-sized mechanical engineering company has just successfully placed its first promissory note financing. The company was able to optimally complement its maturity profile with long maturity profiles of five, seven and ten years and establish a second financing pillar alongside its existing syndicated loan. The (unsecured) promissory note also enabled the company to tap new lenders from the savings bank, Volksbank and insurance sectors. Maturity profile optimised, capital provider circle expanded, favourable financing conditions secured: All this was also described to the company in the banks’ presentations as advantages of the new financing structure.
