8 European Investment Bank Financing Models and Concepts Corporates Project Finance Public Sector Other The project is defined and EIB is financing up to 50% of the eligible project costs but on the balance sheet of the promoter, i.e. the ability of the company as a whole to service debt is the main driving factor in the process along with the proposed structure of the facility. EIB also finances corporates indirectly usually via third-party financing institutions (non- RSFF). The project is structured as a ring-fenced operation with limited or no recourse to the promoters. The quality of the assets and their ability to generate cash are vital for such type of operations. PF operations could be fullrisk (RSFF), or guaranteed (banks, corporates monolines, governments), secured, PPPs Project may be supported indirectly via EIB facilities extended to member states and local governments Infrastructure funds Advisory services Other initiatives Structured Finance & Advisory European Investment Bank 8

9 Direct RDI Financing - The Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF) EIB has prioritised investment in research, development and innovation (RDI) as it is one of the key factors necessary to improve competitiveness and ensure longterm economic growth and employment in Europe. Investment in RDI is a key EU priority, as Europe has set the medium-term goal of becoming the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world. RSFF provides substantial additional debt finance to complement more conventional sources of finance such as grants, equity and loans, to finance high value-added high-risk investments covering the full range of RDI, and is available in EU-27 + FP7 associated countries. RSFF is being implemented in cooperation between the European Commission and the EIB, each of which have provided EUR 1bn capital each to cover the risks borne by the EIB when financing RDI projects under RSFF for the period RSFF has shown excellent results to date and by the end of 2010, 3.5 years since RSFF was launched, loans worth almost EUR 8.8bn, (88% of the total RSFF facility) will have been approved and loans of almost EUR 6.3bn (63% of total) will have been signed.
