Abstract
We document that the structure of syndicates affects term loan renegotiations. Lead banks with large retained shares have a positive effect on renegotiations, while the syndicate diversity among nonbank investors is renegotiation friendly. The latter result derives from the growth of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) in the syndicated loan market, and the coordination of investment decisions between lead banks and their affiliated CLOs. Our findings highlight previously unrecognized coordination between lead banks and their affiliated CLOs and a novel channel that CLOs support the supply of corporate credit.
