Bain Capital Credit Acquires NPL Portfolio in Spain

Bain Capital Credit’s special situations strategy became “Bain Capital Special Situations” in Fall 2022.

LONDON, July 11, 2017 – Bain Capital Credit, LP announced today that it has acquired a loan portfolio from Banco Ibercaja SA. This is Bain Capital’s ninth portfolio acquisition in Spain since 2014.

The portfolio has a €489 million par value and comprises non-performing and sub-performing first lien bilateral loans to real estate developers. The collateral securing the loans is mostly residential development land and real estate assets.

“We are excited about the opportunity to strengthen our position in the development sector with this investment,” said Alon Avner, a Managing Director and Head of Bain Capital Credit’s European business.

“We continue to believe Spain is one of the most attractive NPL and real estate markets in Europe. This portfolio, with its sizeable exposure to land plots in Spain’s largest cities, is a great opportunity to continue expanding our footprint in its residential development sector,” said Fabio Longo, a Managing Director and Head of Bain Capital Credit’s European non-performing loan & real estate business.

Support in executing this deal was provided by Hipoges and Altamira Asset Management, loan servicing specialists; Basico, Deloitte Real Estate and JLL real estate valuation providers; and Allen & Overy legal counsel.
