| Abstract: | 國際聯貸案乃國際間企業頻繁使用之融資方式之一，而聯合交易已於世界各地運行數十年之久，係一發展成熟之交易模式，而我國之金融機構亦長期以不同之角色參與國際聯貸交易。然而，實務上不乏出現借款人違約之情事，可能是借款人最終無資力償還貸款之單純民事違約事件；亦可能為借款人惡意詐貸之刑事案件，然而，無論何種違約態樣均導致籌組聯貸案之行政方或提供貸款之融資方於參與國際聯貸案時，於各時期面臨各種不同態樣之風險。
國際聯貸實務面臨的法律問題涵蓋層面甚廣，諸如聯貸契約之約定事項是否明確、是否限制或禁止相關交易、貸款人是否能依賴他行進行盡職調查、貸款人進入次級貸款市場之時間點、進行方式、交易對象有無限制、貸款人是否負擔揭露義務等。實則，若聯貸案順利簽約、撥款並還款，則過程中任何交易安排均不會成為交易各方之著眼點；反之，一旦發生借款人違約之情事，則交易過程中或嗣後任何有關甚或無關之安排及細節均可能成為當事人著重之焦點。就次級貸款市場而言，因隱名參貸相較其他交易模式而言更為便利、有效率且具匿名性，故實務上許多貸款人傾向選擇隱名參貸做為資金及風險管理之方式，然而，隱名參貸乃屬單獨且獨立之契約關係，故一般而言相關細節不為聯貸契約所約定，以致借款人違約後，相關交易安排較容易被放大檢視或曲解而產生爭議。
就此，本文將以國際聯貸案之實務運作為基礎，由國際金融市場慣例及交易文件出發，介紹當事人間之法律關係、相關交易文件之重要條款，進而討論次級貸款市場中隱名參貸之適法性、實務操作、進行模式及法律關係等議題，並分析交易各方當事人於國際聯貸案中之權利義務及可能面臨之風險及困境，以供處理聯貸相關事務之參考。
The international syndicated loan transaction is one of the financing methods which is commonly used by enterprises globally. This kind of syndicated arrangement has been adopted around the world for decades and is already a mature and well-developed transaction model. Financial institutions in Taiwan also have been participating in the international loan market via different roles for a long period of time.
In practice, as long as there’s a loan transaction, there will always be the possibility of borrower’s default. It can be either a purely civil matter that the borrower has financial difficulties which makes it fail to repay the loan; or it can involve criminal liabilities that the borrower maliciously defrauds the syndicated lenders. However, in either way, it leads to the same consequence that both the administrative party, who arranges the loan; and the finance party, who commits a loan amount, will be exposed to various risks when becoming one of the parties of a syndicated loan transaction.
In an international syndicated loan arrangement, it covers a wide variety of legal issues, such as whether there’s any ambiguities in the clauses of the facility agreement, whether the agreement is clear and comprehensive enough to serve as a binding document among parties, whether there is any transactions or arrangements that is restricted or prohibited by the facility agreement, whether a lender can rely on others to carry out its due diligence, what is the legitimate timing for entering into secondary loan market, how to proceed a secondary loan market arrangement, is there any restrictions on the identity of the counterparty for said deal, whether a lender has a disclosure obligation to share the information of said arrangement…etc. In fact, if there’s no default, then any of the aforementioned will never become an issue. On the contrary, once there’s an event of default, the parties will focus on all the details of any relevant or even irrelevant events, arrangements, facts that happened during the course of the deal or even post of the deal. For example, in the secondary loan market, many lenders tend to engage to sub-participation to manage its funds and risks because it is more convenient, efficient and most importantly, is an anonymous arrangement. Given sub-participation is a separate and independent deal, the details of how to proceed the arrangement usually will not be stipulated in the facility agreement and therefore, any arrangements of sub-participation can easily be twisted, misinterpreted and be examined through a magnifying glass after borrower’s default.
Accordingly, this article will introduce the contractual relationship among parties, important terms / clauses in transaction documents, and further elaborate the legality, feasibility, practice and relevant legal issues of secondary loan market transactions. The focus will be on sub-participation arrangement based on industry practice and relevant transaction documents of a syndicated loan transaction. This article will also touch on parties’ rights and obligations and analyze the risks and difficulties one may face when involving in the international loan market. |
