Sale leasebacks offer a number of benefits to corporations and provide a ready source of capital while improving corporations’ balance sheets and enabling them to reinvest in their core business.

Sale leasebacks enable corporations to:

• Raise proceeds that reflect full vs. partial market value
• Preserve debt capacity
• Increase operational flexibility
• Access capital at or below the corporation’s senior debt
• Create earnings benefits
• Maintain long term, operational control over its property
• Transfer residual value risk

Sale leasebacks are particularly appealing in this environment:

• Sale Leasebacks provide an attractive solution for corporations that need to access capital, strengthen their balance sheets, and expand or maintain market share
• Corporations’ ability to access capital from traditional sources has become more limited as a result of the dislocation in the capital markets
• Renewed efforts are being made to improve balance sheets, increase profitability, and access capital for growth
• The lending market has become somewhat restrictive slowing the flow of capital and making it more expensive
