Why lenders transfer loans

There are times when a lender might want to get back some of the money it has lent to a borrower before the borrower is due to repay it.

If the borrower is performing its obligations under the loan agreement, the lender cannot demand early repayment of the loan or take any steps to recover amounts from the borrower. The only option therefore, is to look to transfer the loan to another lender.

Transferring the loan might be the objective from the outset of the transaction. For example, on syndicated transactions, one or more lenders underwrite the facilities with a view to transferring some or all of their commitments once a syndicate of lenders has been formed. Commitments may then continue to be transferred during the life of the facility in the secondary market.

Transferring loans also enables a lender to:

ESMA publishes feedback on proposed securitisation disclosure template review

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a Feedback Statement summarising the responses to its consultation paper on securitisation disclosure templates under Article 7 of the Securitisation Regulation (SECR). Stakeholders acknowledged the need for improvements in the transparency regime but recommended postponing the template review due to concerns about its timing in relation to a broader SECR review. ESMA plans to work closely with the European Commission to explore interim adjustments to the technical standards, particularly regarding disclosures for private securitisations, before the review of the Level 1 text.

High Court confirms broad government discretion in UK national security reviews

Competition analysis: In this judgment, the High Court issued its first ever ruling on a challenge to an unwinding order imposed by the UK government under the National Security and Investment Act 2021 (NSIA 2021). In a clear victory for the government, the court confirmed the broad discretion of the Secretary of State to determine the appropriate remedy for resolving national security concerns arising from a problematic transaction, up to and including forced divestment of the acquirer’s shareholding in a qualifying entity, as well confirming that the overall process followed by the Government in such cases is fair and proportionate. The judgment is also notable for the insights that it provides into the process followed by Government officials and ministers for in-depth reviews under the NSIA 2021, with the level of detail going well beyond what has been disclosed in the Government’s own guidance to date.

IFRS Foundation releases guide on identifying material sustainability risks and opportunities

The IFRS Foundation has released a detailed guide aimed at assisting companies with the crucial task of recognising and disclosing significant information regarding sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could reasonably be expected to impact their cash flows, access to finance, or cost of capital over the short, medium, or long term. A key objective of the guide is helping companies understand how the concept of sustainability-related risks and opportunities is described in the 'General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information' (IFRS S1); including how these can develop from a company’s dependencies and impacts.
