Richard TurnerWe have returned from the Christmas and New Year break enthused and inspired. While we were away we learnt our first big Bond deal (£23.5m)  got the green light from our investment committee, OCM concluded its deal with Samsung, Green Motion is in talks with a major car manufacturer, and OIL have  made great progress with developing a very exciting TV and Web concept. I think we all feel that the New Year is going to be an exciting one and we have a very interesting pipeline of opportunities.

The bond funding is proving to be an attractive proposition and is a good solution to complement the shortfall in an existing deal.  For example one of our proposed deals is structured in the following way; we made an offer of £20m to top slice a  £100m deal to construct a bio refinery. £80m was coming from equity. Equity investment for a project such as this typically carries a price tag of 20%+ IRR. Our funding has an IRR of about 12%. So an ideal substitute for later stage equity.

We are extremely pleased to be able to offer a product that can provide the difference between a project with such potential for growth getting the green light rather than failing through a lack of funding.  We are looking forward to completing this deal and to kicking off others like it.

Onwards and upwards!

Richard Turner
