TWG Sports level 3 mark below 90 at Q3 2026

Two valuation regimes run on the same sponsor's borrowing. Guggenheim Partners' first-lien TLB (CUSIP 36173YAB6) is fair-value level 2, held by at least 6 registered funds that mark it identically to 4dp, and it fell from 100.0805 at 30 Jun 2026 to 98.1250 at 31 Jul 2026 to 73.25 on Bloomberg BVAL at 25 Sep 2026 - the entire collapse after 31 July. TWG Sports, LLC paper is level 3, held by one fund, no public CUSIP, marked 98.50 at 30 Jun 2026. The call tests whether an unobservable mark follows an observable one. Against: the distress sits at the insurance and asset-management layer, not the sports layer; the Lakers and Chelsea sales are liquidity events that improve sports-asset credit; level 3 marks are sticky; no default or covenant breach is evident. For: ASC 820 pulls in observable comparables and the affiliated senior loan at 73 is the closest one. Main way 0.28 is too low: a cross-default between TWG entities, invisible from outside. NO WRONGDOING IS ALLEGED BY ANYONE.
