Payment in kind and PIK loans are both in need of attention of an expert on the subject. No point in merging or keeping them separate if the reader can´t unnderstand. --Adumoul (talk) 15:04, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The first phrase is not very clear in the sense that I cannot understand, a priori, why the fact that there is no cash flow from borrower to lender between the drawdown date and the maturity date makes it an expensive instrument. It is more understandable after reading the article, since the interests can be added to the principal (negative amortization) and this does increase the cost of debt. I would suggest removing the THUS adverb in the first phrase. Is it OK? 193.52.24.24 (talk) 16:24, 11 January 2015 (UTC) Financial_Hazard[reply]
