The LMA recently issued a Fault Based Primary Delayed Settlement Compensation (PDSC) timeline and guidance. This webinar will explain the background to the project, the overarching themes and principles of the timeline, and set out what needs to be achieved and when.  

It will also examine how the fault-based element operates and what the parties need to consider. Finally, it will mention the process of how the timeline will be kept under review as we all work together to improve settlement times in the primary leveraged loan market.  

Our inaugural European Loan Markets Conference will be held on 23 October in Paris at musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac.

The conference brings our theme of Further Together to Europe, focusing on developments in the continent rather than across the broader EMEA region. Over the past year, the market has witnessed significant growth in private credit, becoming a vital source of funding for issuers and yield for investors.

Other trends include a marked increase in green and ESG-linked loans, the expansion of digital lending platforms, and growing interest in cross-border lending driven by regulatory harmonisation and the pursuit of higher yields. The rise of fintech in the loan market has the potential to drive quicker and more efficient loan processing, appealing to both borrowers and lenders.

We are delighted to be hosting the Amsterdam Leveraged Finance Seminar focusing on the Benelux leveraged finance market on Tuesday, 24 September 2024 at Rosarium Amstelpark, Amsterdam. The event will bring together the major players in the sector and delve into the key issues impacting the market.  The event is for lenders, investors, sponsors and advisers who want to learn, network and stay ahead in this dynamic market.  

Topics discussed will include:

• How the market is reacting to the changing macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. 

• Trends and opportunities in the private debt market, including the rise of NAV lending and approaches to sustainability.

• The changing dynamics between private credit and the bank syndicated lending market – are we seeing the pendulum shift?  

• How sponsors are currently viewing the debt market and opportunities.

• How to structure resilient transactions and awareness of documentation and restructuring pitfalls.
