BDF – WS7 – TRANSFERRING A BANK’S RIGHTS, EVENTS OF DEFAULT & SUBORDINATION
WHY SELL A LOAN?
When a bank disposes of their loan = asset sale (i.e. the Loan is an asset of the bank which can be sold or bought)
Under E-Law contractual rights can be freely transferred (unless contract states contrary) but transfer of obligations require consent of all the P’s. Thus selling a loan requires borrower to agree to any changes in the bank’s obligations
The most basic aim of a bank in selling an asset (i.e. a loan) is to remove the risk associated with it

¿What are the BORROWER’s CONCERNS?
Will there be increase costs provisions? (new bank may have higher costs)
Will they lose their current good relationship with the existing bank?
Complete prohibition on sale of the debt in the facility agreement would push up fees.
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES Of NOVATION | ||

ADVANTAGES | DISADVANTAGES | |
Moving obligation - Novation is only proven method of moving contractual obligations as well as rights. - This allows existing bank to dispose of a loan which has an unutilised commitment (eg, under an RCF). In RCF the obligation to pay B is renewed, so Novation is useful as the obligation is cancelled. Assignment would be a useless method for RCFs. - Conversely, new bank achieves a relationship with borrower as if it were a party to facility agreement. | Consent
| |
Risk transfer Novation can fully remove a loan (including any undrawn commitments) from existing bank’s Balance Sheet & so exclude it from any regulatory capital requirements. A clean break for the leaving bank. | Secured loans
| |
ADVANTAGES OF NOVATION | DISADVANTAGES OF NOVATION | |
Easy syndication If original facility agreement includes transfer certificates (see disadvantage ‘consent’), existing (& any subsequent) bank can take on large commitment without delay of putting an underwriting syndicate together, knowing that it will easily be able to sell all/part of its commitment | Disclosure For obvious reasons, it is difficult to hide the identity of a transferee bank using novation. |
