PROJECT FINANCING / RECOVERY CAPITAL

Distressed Assets & Struggling Projects

A viable project deserves a way forward.

When an asset still has real economic potential, a shortage of capital or a broken financing structure should not be its final chapter. WTE Bank directly provides approved recovery financing to stabilize operations, complete essential work, and support a credible return to cash generation.

01 / THE OPPORTUNITY

Restore the value that financial distress has put at risk.

When a project is viable but starved of capital, every delay can destroy more value. Recovery financing must reach the work that restores earning power.

A delayed opening, damaged balance sheet, unfinished build, or temporary cash shortfall can obscure a fundamentally useful asset. WTE Bank focuses financing on a practical recovery plan: what must be repaired, what capital is needed, and how the project can earn enough to sustain its obligations.

02 / PROJECTS IN SCOPE

Where recovery financing can help

The opportunity lies in the underlying asset and the path to a viable business, not in distress for its own sake.

01 / PROJECT

Unfinished projects

Assets with a clear route to completion but a gap in the capital needed to get there.

02 / PROJECT

Underperforming facilities

Operating plants or service assets that need repairs, upgrades, or renewed liquidity.

03 / PROJECT

Distressed acquisitions

Acquisition and improvement of a viable asset when the transaction can resolve existing claims.

04 / PROJECT

Projects needing refinancing

Facilities whose current debt terms no longer fit the asset’s realistic cash generation.

03 / THE CAPITAL

Put new capital where recovery actually happens.

WTE Bank can finance approved stabilization, acquisition, completion and rebuilding costs under a plan that addresses existing claims and gives the asset a realistic route back to sustainable operations.

01

Stabilization liquidity

Eligible essential payments that preserve operations, assets or critical supply during the recovery period.

02

Acquisition or refinancing

Capital for a viable acquisition or a revised debt structure when prior claims can be resolved.

03

Repairs and completion

Equipment replacement, deferred maintenance and unfinished works required to restart earning.

04

Restart working capital

Approved operating needs as production and collections resume under the recovery plan.

04 / BUILT FOR THE REAL FINANCING CYCLE

A second chance needs more than a temporary loan.

The financing has to address why the project struggled and what changes its cash position. WTE Bank focuses the facility on an executable restoration plan and a repayment profile the renewed asset can support.

01

Protect the asset

Stop avoidable deterioration and preserve the value that remains.

02

Resolve the capital gap

Fund the approved work or acquisition that can change the asset’s earning capacity.

03

Reopen cash generation

Allow for the operational restart and the time required for receipts to recover.

04

Repay sustainably

Set terms against realistic future cash flows, rather than repeating the structure that failed.

05 / FROM PLAN TO PERFORMANCE

A recovery facility with a clear destination.

06 / WHERE WTE Bank CAPITAL CAN WORK

Where a recovery facility can change the trajectory.

WTE Bank finances the approved recovery plan directly. The facility can connect stabilization capital, repairs and the restart of operating payments, while the owners and operators remain responsible for carrying out the turnaround.

PROJECT PATH / 01

A stalled industrial plant

Finance essential repairs, equipment and restart liquidity when the plant can return to viable production.

PROJECT PATH / 02

An unfinished asset

Provide approved completion capital so a nearly finished facility can begin serving customers.

PROJECT PATH / 03

An acquisition under stress

Finance the purchase and improvement of a productive asset when prior claims can be resolved.

07 / THE WTE Bank ADVANTAGE

Recovery capital from WTE Bank itself.

WTE Bank directly provides the approved facility. Financing, project accounts, and relevant payments can work together under one banking relationship as the asset returns to operation.

01

Direct capital for the recovery plan

WTE Bank funds the approved financing rather than seeking another lender for the transaction.

02

A focus on future viability

The structure is built around the work required to restore the asset and its expected capacity to repay.

03

Capital connected to execution

Agreed funding stages support the recovery plan and the project’s operating payments.

08 / THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

What this financing makes possible.

Every project has its own economics and terms. These answers show how WTE Bank approaches the opportunity.

Does a project have to be profitable today?

A currently struggling project can be considered when there is a credible, financeable path to restoring operations and repaying the facility.

Can WTE Bank pay off an existing lender or finance an acquisition?

An approved transaction may include refinancing or acquisition funding when existing claims can be resolved and the resulting capital structure is viable.

Does WTE Bank take over management of the project?

No. WTE Bank finances the approved recovery plan; the project’s owners and operators remain responsible for executing it.
