The economic crisis and market distress caused by COVID-19 has had a serious impact on existing arrangements between lenders and borrowers. During the seminar, we focused at the latest developments and changes affecting loan agreements, including Material Adverse Effect (MAE), INSOL 2017 principles, as well as the specifics of cross-border restructuring in Ukraine. The event was relevant for both lenders and borrowers, as well as Ukrainian companies and Ukrainian banks revisiting their loan arrangements.
In particular, we considered:
- Covid-19: impact on loan agreements
- MAE and Covid-19: case study on MAE
- Review of the INSOL 2017 principles
- Specifics of cross-border restructuring in Ukraine
