The beginning of 2025 has brought with it at least 15 debtors seeking to finance their Chapter 11 cases with debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing, according to Debtwire’s Restructuring Database, and 11 debtors receiving approval of their DIP financing packages proposed before the new year. Certain trends and notable features have emerged across recent cases. Indeed, most DIP facilities proposed this year are notable for their exceptionally steep costs with many carrying interest rates above 15%, and one case featuring fees exceeding 20% of the facility. Some proposals include innovative features such as interest convertibility, equity-based fees, and creeping roll ups. These developments underscore the growing complexity and customization of DIP financing in today’s lending market. More here: https://lnkd.in/eMq_DDMw
