Credit Cloud’s New Features Enhance Business Development and Credit Research

Credit Cloud by Octus, which enables you to research and analyze restructuring and leveraged finance data to achieve new insights, has introduced three new proprietary data sets that help users build a strong business development pipeline and conduct research at pace. 

Why These Updates Matter

Legal and advisory professionals deal with increasingly complex credit landscapes where actionable intelligence makes or breaks outcomes. These new features are designed to simplify your daily work and give you access to information not available elsewhere in the market. 

With Credit Cloud, you can:

• Identify opportunities before competitors.
• Save time on labor-intensive research.
• Enhance decision confidence with robust, accurate data.

Here’s how these new features will elevate your workflows.

Equity Sponsor Data 

Interested in uncovering new opportunities while monitoring stressed and distressed assets? Credit Cloud’s Equity Sponsor Data gives you:

• Sponsor-level insights to identify key ownership stakes and exit timelines.
• Mapping relationships from your firm to sponsors of distressed companies for business development opportunities.
• Proactive tools to screen private equity portfolios for distress signals, ensuring you stay ahead in identifying restructuring and advisory mandates.

By combining these data points with Credit Cloud’s other proprietary screens, you’ll be able to strategically build your pipeline.

Key Employee Retention Plan (KERP) Data 

Now equipped with historical KERP data dating back to January 2020, Credit Cloud provides unmatched benchmarking in employee and management compensation during bankruptcy cases. When paired with Credit Cloud’s Key Employee Incentive Plan (KEIP) data, Octus is able to offer you a comprehensive view of how companies compensate employees and management teams in bankruptcy. 

• Benchmark and analyze market terms for similar cases.
• Gain deeper insights into compensation trends.
• Analyze restructuring plan economics with greater precision.

The addition of KERP data ensures you have the most complete landscape of compensation strategies.

Corporate Governance Data 

Legal and advisory users can confidently advise on rights associated with shareholder equity, including benchmarking of Management Incentive Plans (MIPs). With this enhancement, you can:

• Compare incentives and management equity allocations across cases.
• Analyze valuation impact and dilution from restructuring.
• Inform board oversight by aligning equity allocations and shareholder rights with governance policies.

With these insights, you can easily evaluate and compare rights related to management, directors and shareholders.
