Green Giraffe will help you design the most
appropriate financing structure, taking into
account project characteristics and market
conditions. We will ensure that commercial
contracts are bankable, model the proposed
financing structure, ensure that the economics
work and manage the approach to the banking
market.
Green Giraffe offers a complete suite of
M&A advisory services ranging from project
modelling and valuation to transaction services,
due diligence and post acquisition integration
services.
Our regular presence on the lending market and
extensive network enable us to know market
conditions and structure transactions that
meet project finance bank requirements while
providing borrowers with optimised terms and
improved returns.
We can perform a valuation for an offshore wind
energy project within a timeframe of 4 weeks
including initial due diligence and Q&A. We
are able to provide significant additional value
through proposals for project optimization based
on our experience across the market.
We know a large fraction of the market of active
potential buyers, including their timing, returns,
technology preferences.
Modelling
Strategic advisory
Green Giraffe offers a full suite of modelling
services, from review of existing models to design
from scratch of new models up to the highest
finance standards, and assistance in the definition
and preparation of sensitivities.
Green Giraffe provides benchmarking services,
reviews of regulatory frameworks and analysis of
recent market developments and transactions.
We can propose optimisation strategies to
improve selected parameters (IRR, gearing, debt
quantum, minimum ratios, etc.) and build models
which allow to test different financing strategies
(with or without debt).
Modelling is naturally an integral part of debt and
equity mandates.
This includes recent terms and conditions on
corporate and contractual structures, debt and
equity transactions, participants and prevailing
commercial terms.
We assist project developers and contractors
during the contractual structure design and
negotiations phase and support them during
invitation to tender and contractor selection
processes. We can participate to contractual
negotiations with a view to improving risk
allocation and, as relevant, make a project sale or
financing possible on the most attractive terms.
