Mezzanine capital is a flexible financing instrument that is a mix of debt and equity. Companies that raise mezzanine capital improve their economic equity without giving up decision-making power. In return for the lack of influence, the lender receives a higher return than with other investments.
Mezzanine financing is a modern and bank-independent form of financing. This type of financing is classified between debt and equity capital (the Italian term “mezzo” means “half”). Mezzanine capital as debt capital must be repaid after a certain contractual period.

A strategic investment is a dominant or controlling interest of medium to long-term duration where, in contrast to a financial investment, the strategic motives of the investor predominate.
