SFNet Submits Request for Further Amendments to MSLP
By Secured Finance Network
After careful review, the Advocacy Committee of SFNet determined that we should provide additional comments to the Fed and Treasury in an effort to make the Main Street Loan Programs better suited to ABL lenders. Among key issues raised were (i) making it available to nondepository lenders so that they may, in turn, serve their borrowers; (ii) reducing the minimum on the MSELF from $10 million to $1 million; (iii) eliminating the requirement that any Main Street loans be pari passu with the ABL facility and collateral; (iv) ensuring that participation in the loans is guaranteed to be in the program prior to lender funding and (v) eliminating EBITDA as a metric for both eligibility and loan sizing.
