Indiabulls Housing Finance ropes in Oaktree Capital

12 Apr 2023 CW Team

A jointly created special purpose vehicle (SPV) will offer securities like debentures that Indiabulls and Oaktree will subscribe to in order to inject loan money.

According to those familiar with the scheme, the SPV has already been established, and the funding infusion is anticipated to occur over the next weeks.

This joint venture will get investments totaling 730,000 million dollars from Oaktree Capital and 20,000 million dollars from Indiabulls Home Finance.

One of the individuals cited above stated, "Oaktree Capital will hold a 60% ownership in this newly constituted firm, while the balance will be with Indiabulls Housing Finance in keeping with their capital commitment."

"The fundamental terms of the loans would stay unchanged, and the loans that would be acquired, along with underlying mortgaged properties, are not stressed loans," he stated.

By this agreement, the joint entity will purchase the loans that Indiabulls Housing Finance provided to developers, giving the NBFC a quick exit and cash.

The developers are required to pay back these loans over time, contingent upon the project's completion and the conclusion of the sales cycle. When the recovery occurs, the SPV will subsequently pay back the debentures.

Certain financial organisations have recently entered into more complicated agreements by establishing alternative investment funds with foreign investors, where the latter had the first claim to recovery. Developers who issued debentures to the AIF utilised the borrowed capital to pay back the finance business, while the money pooled into the AlFs was used to support builders who were exhibiting early symptoms of stress.

In contrast to the current transaction, past transactions involved senior notes held by overseas investors who were the first to obtain money distributed by the fund. Such senior-junior transactions, however, have recently come to an end after some banks and real estate funds caught the notice of the capital market regulator.
