Document background
The Mezzanine Debt Term Sheet is a crucial preliminary document used in Qatar to establish the framework for mezzanine financing transactions, which sit between senior debt and equity in the capital structure. This document is typically used when companies require additional financing beyond traditional senior debt but are not willing or able to raise pure equity. The term sheet outlines essential commercial terms including pricing, security, subordination, and potential equity-linked features, all structured to comply with Qatar's legal and regulatory framework. It serves as the basis for the final transaction documents and must account for Qatar's civil law system, Qatar Central Bank regulations, and where applicable, Shariah compliance requirements. The document is particularly relevant for growth capital, acquisition financing, and real estate development projects in Qatar.
