Credit Risk
Credit risk is defined as the loss that may occur in the event of non-payment by the counterparty in a financial transaction. In this specific case, the risk that the Promoter does not pay the principal and/or interest on the Loan.
Sector risk Risks inherent to the specific sector.
Such risks may be caused, for example, by a change in macroeconomic circumstances, a reduction in demand in the sector in which the equity financing project operates and dependencies in other sectors. In any case the investor should be aware that adverse economic conditions or cyclical changes may lead to a weakening of the Promoter’s ability to meet its financial commitments in connection with the loan.
Risk of default
The risk that the project promoter may be subject to bankruptcy proceedings and other events affecting the project or the project promoter that result in the loss of the investment for the investors. Such risks may be caused by a variety of factors, including, without limitation: (serious) change in macroeconomic circumstances, mismanagement, lack of experience, fraud, financing not matching the corporate purpose, failure to launch the product or lack of liquidity. In the event of insolvency of the Promoter, the holders of the credits will be considered as credits with special privilege, as they are secured by a mortgage guarantee, in accordance with the cataloguing and order of priority of credits established by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2020, of May 5, which approves the revised text of the Insolvency Law (hereinafter, the “Insolvency Law”), except for those amounts that pursuant to Article 272 of the Insolvency Law must be classified either as ordinary credit or as subordinated credit, as appropriate.
