If so, what's the best way to structure it? 150 million Euro Bridge Financing for Scholz-Edelstahl GmbH in Germany. Mr. Berndt-Ulrich Scholz is owner of Scholz AG (http://www.scholz- ag.de/english/index.html) Business had a turnover of close to 5 bn Euro in 2008 (3.5 bn. Euros in 2007) and 5,000 employees. Scholz AG is amongst the leading steel and metal scrap recycling companies in Europe; it is 100% owned by the family of Berndt-Ulrich Scholz. The business has a subsidiary Scholz-Edelstahl GmbH (http://www.scholz- edelstahl.de/), its a steel trading company with a group tonnage of 325,000 t p.a. and sales of 380 million Euro in 2007 (processing volume of 150,000 t p.a.; stock volume of 100,000 t p.a.). Scholz-Edelstahl supplies stainless steel in six different grades and specifications - Over the last years Scholz-Edelstahl, apparently, built up an inventory and speculated the wrong way; the banks are forcing Scholz to find a solution for his subsidiary: Scholz currently evaluates his options: Option 1: a bridge financing of approx. 150 million Euro for Scholz-Edelstahl: period of at least 2 years (to be confirmed), interest rate to be negotiated. Option 2: loan security - pledge current inventory of steel and guarantee of payment of the loan would be both given by the Scholz AG and by the owner Berndt- Ulrich Scholz.
