What are PIK Notes?
Definition:
A form of debt finance where interest accrues annually (usually for at least five years) but is only paid out at Maturity (i.e., payment is not made in cash until Maturity). PIK Notes are regarded as a high-risk form of financing and, consequently, give a higher Interest Rate than other forms of debt.
