EU Securitisation Regulation—timeline

EU Securitisation Regulation—timeline This timeline shows key developments relating to Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 (the EU Securitisation Regulation) from January 2024 onwards. For earlier developments, see EU and UK Securitisation Regulations—timeline [Archived]. 2025 Date Source Document Description 1 April 2025 AFME The Joint Associations’ response to the ESMA consultation of February 2025 on the revision of the disclosure framework for private securitisation AFME, Commercial Real Estate Finance Council (CREFC) Europe and International Capital Market Association (ICMA) submitted a joint response to the European Securities and Markets Authority's (ESMA) consultation on revising private securitisation disclosure requirements. The joint response argues against: introducing a simplified reporting regime for EU-originated securitisations before wider reforms, citing concerns about potential changes to private securitisation definitions, continued template-based reporting requirements, and unresolved third-country reporting issues. They propose an alternative approach focusing on supervisory reporting needs while allowing more flexible investor disclosures.See: LNB News 01/04/2025 71. 31 March 2025 EBA Joint Committee Report on the implementation and functioning of the Securitisation Regulation (Article 44) The Joint Committee...

Seller's SPA drafting guide (unconditional completion)—checklist

Seller's SPA drafting guide (unconditional completion)—checklist This Checklist serves as a guide of certain key matters for the seller’s solicitors to consider when drafting, or commenting on, a share purchase agreement (also known as SPA or share sale agreement) recording the sale and purchase of the entire issued share capital of a private limited company, where the transaction involves simultaneous exchange and completion.

Ireland—Signing off on the documentary conditions precedent in a loan transaction

Ireland—Signing off on the documentary conditions precedent in a loan transaction Each of the documentary conditions precedent (CPs) to funding must be satisfied (or waived) before funding can take place. Who signs off on the documentary CPs? Once all of the documentary CPs have been satisfied (or waived), the lender (or, in syndicated transactions, the facility agent) will usually be required by the terms of the facility agreement to confirm to the borrower, in writing, that this is the case. However, whether the documentary CPs have been satisfied will have been determined by a number of factors: legal, commercial and factual issues will have been addressed by a combination of the lender(s) and the lawyers acting for the lender(s). Therefore, signing off on the documentary CPs will involve both the lender(s) and lawyers. It is important, however, to note that the final commercial decision on whether to lend is made by the lender(s) rather than their lawyers. Role of the lawyers for the lender(s)—issuing a CP satisfaction letter Finding a...

I have a client who is UK tax resident but non-domiciled. He holds some dollar bonds in his clean capital accounts. Can I check whether foreign currency bonds are exempt from capital gains tax as qualifying corporate bonds (QCBs)? Can you please confirm the rules in relation to them?

I have a client who is UK tax resident but non-domiciled. He holds some dollar bonds in his clean capital accounts. Can I check whether foreign currency bonds are exempt from capital gains tax as qualifying corporate bonds (QCBs)? Can you please confirm the rules in relation to them? Separately, on remittance does any gain on QCBs have to be declared? In this Q&A, we have assumed that the individual is a remittance basis user by way of claim and the bonds are non-UK situs assets for the purposes of capital gains tax (CGT). For CGT purposes, a bond is a qualifying corporate bond (QCB) if it is a security the debt on which represents a normal commercial loan ‘expressed in sterling’ with no conversion into or redemption in another currency (section 117 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (TCGA 1992)). Bonds that are dollar denominated are unlikely to meet the requirement of being expressed in sterling and therefore will not be a QCB...

It had been issued on a protective basis, without a witness statement, to avoid being statute-barred. The liquidators filed their amendment application at the same time as their detailed particulars of claim.
