What’s in the EA endgame?
17/2/2026 | 19 mins.
Electronic Arts’ proposed $55bn leveraged buyout has upended expectations for its 2031 and 2051 bonds.
Instead of pricing in a straightforward 101% change-of-control payout, investors are weighing a tender offer and potential defeasance strategy that could strip covenants and lower the takeout cost. With a potential downgrade looming, bondholders must decide whether they can resist the maneuver or accept a discounted exit.
Tune into our latest episode of Cloud 9fin, where senior legal analysts Chris Osborne and Anthony Park unpack this situation with senior credit analyst Steven Price.

Turning working capital into liquidity with SLR’s Mitch Soiefer
11/2/2026 | 12 mins.
When traditional cashflow lending tightens, liquidity doesn’t always come from the usual places — sometimes lenders have to break companies into smaller, more financeable pieces.
Carving out working capital assets, which involves isolating and valuing receivables and inventory in standalone structures, has emerged as a go-to strategy for borrowers looking to unlock incremental capital without refinancing their entire capital stack.
On this episode of Cloud 9fin, Anna Russi speaks with Mitch Soiefer, partner and head of lender finance at SLR Capital Partners, to unpack how working capital assets are being carved out of traditional credit agreements to keep capital flowing, and why these structures tend to show up late in the credit cycle.

Syndication Nation — The TLA-ming of the shrew
09/2/2026 | 12 mins.
Anyone who was in the LevFin market in 2022 may remember banks using term loan As to fill the financing gap when rising interest rates disrupted the syndicated loan market. That instrument has made a comeback — except this time, the TLA is no longer a back-up, but a tool to get larger financings done.
In this episode, Cloud 9fin deputy LevFin editor Sasha Padbidri sat down with reporter Yiwen Lu and senior reporter Sunny Oh, to discuss the resurgence of the so-called pro-rata market.
We broke down the key features of TLAs, how banks use them to differentiate themselves from direct lenders, and the evolving lender base of TLAs. We also discussed how it played out in recent jumbo buyouts, including Hologic.

Syndication Nation — Recapping a jam-packed January with AGL’s Wynne Comer
05/2/2026 | 25 mins.
The leveraged finance markets saw a handful of leveraged buyouts keep pricing on their financing packages tight in January 2026. This was in spite of multiple geopolitical shocks and a sell-off in software loans as vibe coding comes into vogue.
To put it all into perspective in this episode of Syndication Nation on Cloud 9fin, US LevFin reporter Dan Mika caught up with AGL Credit Management’s Wynne Comer for the view from her seat and what last month’s action tells us about the rest of 2026.

Snooze/lose hits different in America
29/1/2026 | 38 mins.
Ever signed up for a subscription, forgotten about it, and then been charged $100 a year later because it’s auto-renewed? Imagine doing the same, except add a few zeroes.
In this episode of Cloud 9fin, David Hahn of Davis Polk talks to reporters Tom Quinn and Yiwen Lu about the emergence of snooze/lose clauses in the US credit market: how they work (and crucially, how they work differently to Europe) and their impact on US voting mechanics.
