Liquidity Event

Marketability

Refinancing

The replacement of an existing loan with new financing, often to improve terms or extract equity.

Secondary Market

A market where existing ownership interests or financial instruments are traded after initial issuance.

Transaction Costs

Expenses incurred during acquisitions, dispositions, or refinancings, including legal and advisory fees.

Transfer Restrictions

Contractual or regulatory limitations on the sale or transfer of ownership interests.
