The proposed Greek aquaculture Note is structured to give the Security Agent exclusive first-ranking consensual security over an independently verified pool of eligible operating assets and cash flows.
Real property
First-ranking mortgages over eligible freehold land, buildings and fixed installations, identified and independently valued.
Productive equipment
First-ranking security over identifiable owned plant, machinery, aquaculture equipment and qualifying replacements.
Receivables
First-ranking assignment of eligible trade and contractual receivables, paid into blocked collection accounts under Security Agent control.
Cash & proceeds
Security over collection, operating, reserve, distribution and proceeds accounts, together with assigned insurance, disposal and enforcement proceeds.
Corporate layer
Pledges over the relevant HoldCo, BidCo and portfolio-company shares, plus permitted guarantees and direct obligations from Security Providers.
No competing debt
No bank debt, pari passu security, second-ranking consensual security or competing consensual lien within the collateral pool.
Collateral disciplineIndicative initial gross LTV is targeted at or below 50%, with a 55% hard maximum and at least 1.25× adjusted collateral coverage after eligibility exclusions, haircuts, concentration reserves and enforcement-cost deductions. Pledged-share value is not double-counted where underlying assets are included.
Ongoing protectionA 12-month coupon of 5.75%–6.5% in euros (7% in US dollars), payable quarterly, with 10% profit participation payable annually and an approved external-expense reserve, minimum 1.35× DSCR, cash sweeps, a pledged sinking fund, distribution locks, periodic valuations and monthly collateral and receivables reporting are intended to preserve coverage through the Note life.
Important qualificationFirst-ranking security is intended to support recovery over the four- to five-year period to maturity of the closed-end Fund and each series of Notes, but does not guarantee the timing or amount of recovery. Every mortgage, assignment, pledge, guarantee and account-control arrangement remains subject to due diligence, corporate benefit, legal validity, perfection, statutory priorities and definitive documentation. Junior debt and first-loss equity shares, funded alongside V5's partners and offering a higher target return to reflect their greater risk, may also be made available to selected eligible professional investors, subject to suitability, definitive documentation and transaction availability.
