PURPOSE OF TOOL
User-friendly Excel tool for determining the fair value of a debt facility or loan and other key metrics.

METHODOLOGY
The template calculates the fair value of a debt facility / loan by extracting the remaining cash flows to maturity of the loan and discounting these cash flows at the market interest rates at the valuation date. The market rates are derived by adding the option adjusted spread (reflective of the credit risk of the loan) and any illiquidity premium to the Government bond yield curve, which is assumed to be the risk-free rate. The resulting sum of discounted cash flows is the implied fair value for the loan.

The tool computes a number of key loan / debt metrics including:
•  Debt facility / loan fair value;
