Stock Loans as an Alternative Capital Source

In a depressed market, the ability to gain access to capital resources in a private transaction can be a severe challenge.  Often companies are forced to sell securities or dilute shareholder value to accomplish their goals.   Stock loans could prove to be an invaluable financing solution for you.  These loans, which can be used for personal or business purposes, can be funded within as little as five days and typically have low interest rates.

The Stock Loan program is simple, fast and effective.  At a time when markets are depressed, and access to capital becomes more difficult, the advantage of a stock loan whereby you can borrow against your securities, rather than sell it, will give you the capital resources you require without losing possession of your asset.  Loan to values (LTV) range from 30% to 90% depending on the security, whether it’s restricted 144 securities, aged affiliate securities or free trading securities. They start by providing the highest loan to value possible based on a recent market assessment of your stock position.  Terms of the loan are two to three years with one to two year lock-ups.  Each loan has the option of extending the loan an additional one to two years, should you determine you need more time to assess your position.  Interest rates are prime, to prime plus one or prime plus two, with simple interest payments made quarterly.  This enables the borrower to simply cover the cost of the interest on a yearly basis and only be responsible for the principle that is due at the term of the loan, should you desire to recover your securities.

Should you have Domestic or International Securities and are interested in how you may borrow against them please contact CMI to discuss your options in greater detail.
