Pete Morgan Discusses Possibilities in C-PACE Financing for Owners with Law360
Winston & Strawn partner Pete Morgan spoke with Law360 to discuss refinancing possibilities for owners in commercial property-assessed clean energy (C-PACE). C-PACE is a financing mechanism that allows building owners to fund clean energy upgrades, energy efficiency improvements and resiliency renovations, recouped via a special assessment on annual property tax bills and then repaid by municipalities to private lenders. Although the financing tool for commercial real estate has been around since 2009, the macroeconomic conditions ushered in by the pandemic have led to a surge of interest in C-PACE.

A pre-IPO placement is a late-stage offering to raise funds by a company in advance of its initial public offering. The investors are typically private equity firms, hedge funds, and other large institutional investors. Due to the size of the investments and the significant risk, the investors typically receive a discount from the price in the eventual IPO. Individual investors rarely participate in pre-IPO placements. They are generally restricted to high-net-worth individuals with a sophisticated knowledge of the financial markets. For the company, the placement is a way to raise funds and offset the risk that the IPO will not be as successful as hoped.
