moonstar(sep/dec 15)

sir in moonstar co. the return for investors should still be L+1.5%, the swap that has been taken out at 11% fixed return becomes the effective cost for the company, but that doesn't mean the investors in tranche A get 11% fixed return??? can you please help me understand this!

The investors in tranche A will still be getting LIBOR plus 1.5%. In order to reduce the interest rate risk to Moonstar, the swap will mean that Moonstar ends up paying a fixed 11% (paying L + 1.5% to the investors, receiving L and paying 9.5% from/to the party to the swap).
