Generally speaking, resets could offer substantial benefits to both debt and equity investors. From a debt perspective, a reset resembles a significant prepayment event, with all debt tranches prepaid at par. Lower mezzanine tranche investors, in particular, typically favour deals with a higher likelihood of being reset, as it provides a safeguard similar to an effective insurance policy. For underperforming deals, lower mezzanine tranches with low MVOCs might trade at a discount, even in strong loan markets. A reset pulls these tranches back to par, thereby mitigating losses. Equity investors could also derive considerable value from resets.
