Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP acted for Wachovia Securities International Limited as lead arranger for two AIG floating-rate facilities with a combined value of more than â'¬1.4 billion. The transactions, which closed on July 25, 2007 and August 9, 2007, respectively, were for â'¬850 million secured floating-rate facilities issued by AIG MezzVest Investments II Limited and â'¬575 million secured floating-rate facilities issued by AIG MezzVest Investments Limited. Both deals were rated-to-model transactions not commonly seen in the Euromarkets. The facilities are available in euros, British pounds sterling, and U.S. dollars, and have been rated by both Standard & Poor†s and Moody†s. The proceeds of the issued facilities will be invested in a portfolio of predominantly European second-lien and mezzanineleveraged loans, which will be managed by MezzVest. The portfolio management for both transactions is based on a rating agency approved trading model that incorporates Standard & Poor†s and Moody†s cash flow stress and criteria. One of the most notable features of the transactions is that the portfolio manager needs to run the trading model throughout the period of the transactions rather than merely at closing. Both transactions are based on a manage-to-model approach providing more flexibility to the collateral manager, as opposed to the more typical managed-to-constraint approach for CLOs.
