Bain Capital Credit Acquires €364 Million Loan Portfolio From A Leading Spanish Financial Institution

Bain Capital Credit’s special situations strategy became “Bain Capital Special Situations” in Fall 2022.

LONDON, December 29, 2016 – Bain Capital Credit, LP announced today that it has acquired a loan portfolio from a leading Spanish financial institution. This is Bain Capital's fourth portfolio acquisition in Spain and seventh investment in the country since 2013.

The portfolio has a €364 million par value and comprises defaulted first lien bilateral Spanish loans to hotel operators, real estate developers, retail centres and residential real estate assets.

“We are excited about the opportunity to continue to grow our position in the Spanish non-performing loan and real estate market with these investments,” said Alon Avner, a Managing Director and Head of Bain Capital Credit’s European business. “We continue to find Spain as one of the most attractive markets in Europe. Our breath of expertise and capability to execute transactions in a tight timeline is a reflection of our skill set and capabilities,” said Fabio Longo, a Managing Director and Head of Bain Capital Credit’s European non-performing loan & real estate business. “We see the potential for further investment in Southern Europe, particularly in the real estate and non-performing loan markets.”

Support in executing these deals was provided by Copernicus as financial advisor; Aura REE, CBRE, Horwath, and Cushman & Wakefield, as real estate valuation providers; and Allen & Overy provided legal counsel.
