Ownership Structure and Syndicated Loan Maturity

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Controlling for the impacts of main strands of debt maturity theories, we highlight the relationship between syndicated loan maturity and ownership structure of Korean borrowers. We find that as the ownership of large shareholders increases, the maturity of syndicated loans also increases. Additionally, we identify a negative relation between foreigners’ ownership and loan maturity, indicating that foreign institutional investors serve valuable monitoring functions；as their equity shares increase, they fully take advantage of frequent renewals through the short maturity of syndicated loan. We also show that the predicted value of leverage is more systematically and positively related to the maturity of syndicated loan.
