A majority of Centerfield's investments are structured as mezzanine or subordinated debt investments. Mezzanine financing is designed to fill the gap between the amount the senior lender will provide and the amount of equity capital the owners or buyers are willing to commit. Mezzanine financing is typically issued in the form of subordinated debt with equity participation.
