  2. Amazon ‘Aggregators’ Who Raised $16 Billion Are Now Teetering

    Loan terms negotiated before the downturn could potentially hinder consolidation. Lenders put protections in place to prevent aggregators from selling their assets below a certain amount, much like a bank preventing the sale of a home for less than what’s owed on a mortgage.

    Since many brands sold on Amazon are now less valuable, loan covenants will have to be revised for deals to go through, said John Fang, co-founder and managing partner at Two Roads Advisors, a boutique investment bank in New York that has worked on about a dozen aggregator transactions.

    “We’re aware of these covenants, and we’re working with new money to structure around [the issue] without overpaying for assets,” Fang said.

    “A lot of these aggregators are kind of like zombie companies just burning through cash unless their lenders are willing to take massive haircuts,” said one dinner attendee, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversations were private. “Everyone is kind of screwed at this point.”
