As we power through what remains of this quarter, working to get deals closed before quarter end next week, you may have noticed some additional (and new!) blacklining in the tax section of your credit agreement thanks to a bill that is currently in the Senate. We are seeing new terms coming into credit agreements to include certain language in the tax provisions that wasn’t there before.
In our last Fund Finance Friday for the quarter, we dive into what’s driving these eleventh hour comments, how they are being dealt with, and who bears the risk of this so-called “revenge tax” when it comes to your fund finance deal.
Many subscription credit facilities will provide for the issuance of letters of credit in addition to the funding of loans. A letter of credit is an irrevocable undertaking for the payment of money issued by a bank at the request of a borrower in favor of a third-party beneficiary.

This article will discuss the typical mechanics and elements of letters of credit under a subscription credit facility.
