This guide is intended to provide an introduction to the facilities of thieves and their treatment in the documentation of the LMA facilities, as well as guidance on common operating scenarios. A strong, liquid secondary credit market is an important part of the health of the syndicated credit market as a whole. In this context, this guide aims to assist market participants and their advisors involved in the emergence and execution of syndicated credits in the primary market, highlighting certain issues that may affect liquidity in the secondary market. The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for syndicated lending and debt financing transactions, including the types of facilities typically seen in the credit market, parties to a typical loan contract, and common methods used by lenders to transfer equity to loans. The standard LMA forms amended with regard to Slovak legislation are frequently used in the Slovak Republic, particularly for large-scale and complex transactions (clubs and syndications). Depending on the type of financing, forms of investment degree, leverage or real estate are used. The changes made by Slovakia mainly concern the status of the security officer, the refund and transfer certificate, and specific provisions are in place regarding insolvency procedures. Slovak facilities agreements based on the LMA standard have been used for about 15 years, mainly by Slovak offices of international law firms, generally regarded as banking consultants (which has also helped to standardize forms used in the local market). The following practice note for banks and finance contains comprehensive and up-to-date legal information on the following topics: How is it common to use LMA-type forms, such as in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary? For many years, the application of facilities agreements on the basis of the LMA standard has been widespread in the Polish market.
The LMA standard has been met for transactions documented by English and Polish law. In the case of large capital transactions in which the main consortium includes foreign lenders, including international financial institutions such as the EBRD and the EIB, the parties are more likely to resort to facilitation agreements under English law. In the case of medium cap transactions and transactions involving only Polish banks, in particular to avoid additional legal costs, the facilities agreements, although based on the LMA standard, are often subject to Polish legislation. Banks and law firms have more or less developed their own models on the basis of the LMA form. When it comes to specific provisions of the LMA, which need to be amended to comply with the mandatory Polish legislation, various solutions are proposed. English law governs the standard documentation of the AML. In fact, it is not a single form, but a selection of different forms for different types of transactions, including transactions of degree of investment, real estate or borrowing. While Germany, France and Spain benefit from their own primary documents based on the LMA, subject to their respective local laws, the EEC jurisdictions are still in the basket of developing markets for which the LMA has established its standard documents for developing markets. Standard forms for developing markets are governed by English law, based on the assumption that international lenders are likely to opt for legal documents subject to a globally recognized legal framework rather than the borrower`s jurisdictional law.
