Abstract

The article presents the main aspects of organisation, formation and management of a syndicate of banks in the syndicated lending market. A syndicated loan is provided to a borrower by two or more creditor banks on equal terms within one loan documentation package. This market has the following main characteristics: significant amounts of financing; transactions are organised and syndicated by the largest investment and commercial banks; standard legal documentation; centralisation of agency function. The syndication process is a key factor in a successful transaction in the syndicated lending market. The research objective is a structured description of the syndication business process in the credit market. The following tasks have been set and solved: 1) determining the optimal syndication schedule; 2) transactional and legal documents classification; 3) development of methods of risk management of the syndication process. The methodological basis is the process approach to the formation of a syndicate and the role distribution among the bank transaction participants (organisers, underwriters, bookrunners, agents). Based on the regulatory specifics of syndicated lending, legal documents of the process (mandate letter, confidentiality agreement, syndication letters) have been described. The optimal schedule has been proposed to implement a syndicated loan transaction. It includes five stages: 1) planning; 2) formation of a “senior” syndicate; 3) formation of a “common” syndicate; 4) management of the final structure of the syndicate; 5) legal closing of the transaction. Marketing materials (investment presentation, information memorandum) and key transaction activities (press releases publication and bank meeting) have been examined. Key risks of syndicated lending have been defined and described; they include market risk underwriting and funding. From a practical point of view, the article is of interest for representatives of the Russian commercial and investment banks and corporate borrowers who plan to attract corporate financing in the international syndicated lending market. Рассмотрены основные аспекты организации, формирования и управления синдикатом банков на рынке синдицированного кредитования. Синдицированный кредит предоставляется заемщику двумя или более банками-кредиторами на равных условия в рамках одного пакета кредитной документации. Данный рынок имеет следующие основные характеристики: существенные объемы финансирования, транзакции организуются и синдицируются крупнейшими инвестиционными и коммерческими банками, используется стандартная юридическая документация, централизация агентских функций. Процесс синдикации является ключевым фактором успешной сделки на рынке синдицированного кредитования. Цель исследования — структурированное описание бизнес-процесса синдикации на кредитном рынке. Поставлены и решены следующие задачи: 1) определение оптимального графика синдицирования; 2) классификация транзакционных и юридических документов сделки; 3) разработка методов управление рисками процесса синдикации. Методической основой является использование процессного подхода к формированию синдиката и распределению ролей участников сделки между банками (организаторов, андеррайтеров, букраннеров, агентов). Основываясь на нормативно-правовой специфике синдицированного кредитования, описаны юридические документы процесса (мандатное письмо, соглашение о конфиденциальности, синдикационные письма). Предложен оптимальный график реализации сделки по привлечению синдицированного кредита. Он включает пять этапов: 1) планирование; 2) формирование «старшего» синдиката; 3) формирование «общего» синдиката; 4) управление итоговой структурой синдиката; 5) юридическое закрытие сделки. Рассмотрены маркетинговые материалы (инвестиционная презентация, информационный меморандум) и основные мероприятия сделки (публикация пресс-релизов и банковская встреча). Сформулированы и описаны ключевые риски синдицированного кредитования, включающие рыночные риски андеррайтинга и фондирования. С практической точки зрения статья представляет интерес для представителей российских коммерческих и инвестиционных банков и корпоративных заемщиков, планирующих привлекать корпоративное финансирование на международном рынке синдицированного кредитования.
