1 MARINE MONEY, BUSAN 2017 TOPICAL LEGAL ISSUES GOH MEI LIN PARTNER WATSON FARLEY & WILLIAMS, SINGAPORE 1 NOVEMBER 2017
2 Global Shipping Topical Legal Issues (1) Change of Control Who does it apply to and do Lenders understand what the current structure is? How many layers are there between e.g. the Borrower and the Guarantor or the party on whom the Lenders are focusing their credit risk on? Do the Borrower and Lenders have a mutual understanding as to what type of change / extent of change is meant to trigger a change of control provision? The difference between having this as a prepayment event and as an Event of Default. What if the relevant party is a joint venture entity? What if the relevant party is a listed entity? What flexibility does the relevant party need for changes contemplated for the future? Slide 2
3 Global Shipping Topical Legal Issues (2) Joint Ventures Sponsor support in a JV Does one party have majority shareholding / control? How would a change of control provision work? What are the issues which require unanimous consent? What are the continuing funding obligations of the joint venture partners? Which party are the Lenders primarily taking credit risk on? How do the acts / omissions of the joint venture partners impact on performance of the JV co? Is there a restriction in the shareholders agreement on pledging of shares in the JV co or a regulatory / local law restriction applicable to one of the shareholders? Slide 3
4 Global Shipping Topical Legal Issues (3) Back-to-back Contracts There are various scenarios where a party might find itself in a series of contractual arrangements whereby either: it is the party in the middle which needs to manage its liability to the parties on either side e.g. where the company is an owner with a charterer on one side and a shipyard on the other, with some key risk areas being: Delivery window Force Majeure Liquidated damages Termination Risk it needs to manage the risk which it is taking on its indirect counterparty e.g. where the end-buyer is acquiring a ship from an interim seller which in turn is acquiring the ship from a shipyard, with some key risk areas being : Risk on interim seller s bank Risk of interim seller s performance under SBC / solvency of interim seller Is shipyard aware of the back-to-back arrangement? Slide 4
5 Global Shipping Topical Legal Issues (4) Loan Transfers Lenders will want as much flexibility as possible to transfer, but.. Borrowers may be concerned about: a competitor or specific types of institutions becoming a lender any withholding tax or increased cost which may arise there being no transfer until the facility has been fully drawn the agent / security agent being a party it has an existing relationship with Is it just a loan transfer or are the agency and security trustee functions also being transferred? What is the impact on: Existing terms and existing security? Swap and junior creditors? Third parties such as shipyards, shipmanagers, insurers, charterers? Bank accounts? Will security parties cooperate? Slide 5
