    They are ranked ahead of AHUG. But it is the fact that AFG has the mezzanine facility and has also provided a Letter of Support that makes it interesting. If it was some other lender with the mezzanine debt then AHUG looks very shaky; if Alleasing were to get liquidated AHUG holders would join the creditors queue and would probably get nothing.

    However, the catch is this:

    a) AFG wants its money back

    b) to get its money back everybody with a charge, including AHUG holders, has to say OK

    c) the AHUG holders will only say OK if they get enough of a pay out, and can threaten trying to enforce the Letter of Support - where AFG could be liable for the entire AHUG amount - if they are not happy.

    So basically AFG has to broker a deal with the AHUG holders to get a satisfactory outcome for themselves.
