What Is Mezzanine Debt?
3. Structure (coupon payment Terms)
•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.

Editor's Notes
* The interest rate can be either
fixed throughout the term of the loan or can fluctuate (i.e., float) along with
LIBOR or other base rates.
* (e.g., a $100 million bond
with an 8% PIK interest rate will have a balance of $108 million at the end of the
period but will not pay any cash interest).
