Scenario

This case tests per-tranche extraction on a syndicated loan with three tranches carrying materially different economics. The Gamma Consortium Syndicated Facility Agreement establishes a term loan facility with Term Loan A (USD 200M, amortising), Term Loan B (USD 150M, bullet), and a Revolving Credit Facility (USD 100M). Each tranche has distinct margin rates, maturity dates, and reference rates. Some fields — Borrower, Governing Law, Facility Agent, MAC clause, Negative Pledge — are shared across all tranches. The system must: (1) correctly identify all three tranches, (2) associate tranche-specific economics with the correct tranche label, (3) identify shared fields and mark them accordingly, and (4) not mix tranche B economics into the Tranche A rows or vice versa.

Input

Document: gamma-consortium-syndicated.pdf

Task: Extract all loan onboarding fields from this document. Where the document contains multiple tranches, provide a separate extraction per tranche. Clearly identify which fields are shared across all tranches and which are tranche-specific.

Tranche Structure

"The Facility comprises three separate facilities: (a) a term loan facility in an aggregate amount of USD 200,000,000 ('Tranche A'); (b) a term loan facility in an aggregate amount of USD 150,000,000 ('Tranche B'); and (c) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of USD 100,000,000 ('Tranche C' or the 'Revolving Credit Facility')."

Tranche A Margin and Reference Rate

Scoring Criteria

ConditionScore
All three tranches identified and all fields correctly extracted per tranche; shared fields correctly identified; no cross-tranche contamination1.0
All three tranches identified; tranche-specific amounts and maturities correct; but one margin or reference rate assigned to wrong tranche0.70
Only two of three tranches identified; shared fields correct0.50
Tranches identified but Tranche A and Tranche B economics merged into a single extraction0.25
Any tranche amount, maturity, or margin fabricated (not present in per-tranche clauses)0.0 (case-level)

Known Failure Modes

  • Assigning Tranche B's margin (245 bps) to Tranche A or averaging the margins across tranches.
  • Treating all three maturities as the same date (using the latest maturity, 2032, for all tranches).
  • Extracting RCF commitment fee (0.35%) and applying it to Term Loan tranches.
  • Failing to identify the revolving clean-down requirement as part of the Tranche C repayment structure.
  • Listing Facility Amount as a single USD 450M total rather than per-tranche breakdowns.
