CCI was the first investor note lender in the affordable housing area, completing its first transaction in 1991. CCI has structured and lent over $7 billion in the affordable housing area. CCI’s innovative structures have allowed for medium term debt (11-16 year term) on terms and conditions that have been accepted by every major borrower in this market. In this transaction CCI was both an advisor to Enterprise and the interim lender to the transaction.

Outcome Capital placed the debt for Enterprise in the private placement market. The private placement market provided over $960 billion of financing to issuers around the world in 2012, a record year. Most of the placement activity is for “investment grade” debt, or debt that would be considered to have a rating of “BBB-“ or better from one of the major rating agencies. The market is best used for issuers that would like to access fixed rate debt with medium to long maturities. However, a variety of placements are completed every year for other types of credits or structures.
