Mezzanine financing is a hybrid of debt and equity financing used to finance the expansion of existing companies. It refers to financing that ranks between senior debt and equity, filling the gap. Structurally, it is subordinate to senior debt but senior to common stock. Mezzanine debt can take the form of convertible debt, subordinated debt, or private securities with warrants or preferred equity.

•Cash interest — A periodic payment of cash based on a percentage of
the
outstanding balance of the mezzanine financing.
•PIK interest — Payable in kind interest is a periodic form of payment in which
the interest payment is not paid in cash but rather by increasing the principal
amount of the security in the amount of the interest
•Ownership — Along with the typical interest payment associated with debt,
mezzanine capital will often include an equity stake in the form of attached
warrants or a conversion feature, similar to that of a convertible bond. The
ownership component in mezzanine securities is almost always accompanied by
either cash interest or PIK interest and in many cases by both.
•Participation payout — Instead of equity, the lender may take an equity-like
return in the form of a percentage of the company’s performance, as
measured by total sales, or EBITDA as a measure of cash flow, or profits.
