Risks
If the share price falls, what happens and when is set out in advance in the facility documents.
Silo manages its lending exposure throughout the facility term, including through hedging and collateral use permitted by the transaction documents. Those documents define the borrower’s collateral rights and conditions for repayment and return.
Non-recourse means recourse is limited to the shares pledged for the facility: no personal or corporate liability beyond them, and no collateral taken beyond them.
Nothing on this website is an offer, solicitation, recommendation or commitment. Every facility is subject to Silo’s review, diligence, approval, jurisdictional analysis, compliance review and definitive documentation.
