The conclusion I gathered is...
- EFC and LCC will form a SPVcompany together. This SPVcompany will receive the funding, pay for the stadium, own the stadium, maybe maintain + operate ect.
- EFC will own SPVcompany, the council are just on-board to give added confidence to potential investors.
- Due the confidence the council bring, the SPVcompany will pay lower interest rates on the loan. EG. We save 8 mil a year interest and we pay the council 4 mil of that saving as a fee for them guaranteeing the loan, so we would still be 4 mil better off (Completely made up figures).
- EFC will lease the stadium off the SPV company for probably the annual loan payment + 4mil to council + maintenance minus any naming rights.
- EFC will still own the stadium as they own the SPVcompany stadium which owns the stadium.
- EFC could end up paying £0 per year if naming rights covers loan payment + council payments + maintenance operation.
- Ticket money plus all other stadium revenue in EFC's back pocket.
- EFC Win the lot.
Is this about right?
