Term Loan Periodic Reset Rates (W5)

PURPOSE

This document explains how to maintain term loan periodic reset rates.

BACKGROUND

The reset rates functionality within the Term Loan is designed to manage loans in China with the PBOC rate.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Periodic reset rates enable the maintenance and application of a set of periodic reset rates for interest computation during the term loan period. This functionality is commonly utilised for loans, such as the China PBOC loan, where the rate undergoes a monthly reset. This simplifies the rate update process for all loans using the PBOC rate when the reset occurs.

Limitation: This feature is not supported when the term loan includes interest capitalisation items.

PRE-REQUISITE

To use the reset rates functionality, refrain from making any amendments to the term loan repayment schedule. Any updates to the current repayment schedule will be disregarded once the reset rate is applied.

Reset rates should be maintained from the start (“VDate”) to the maturity date (“MDate”) of the term loan transaction. The system will apply the reset rates and calculate interest based on the dates specified in the Maintain Periodic Reset Rates screen and beyond. Otherwise, the interest rate used for booking the loan drawdown will be applied.

PROCEDURE

1. To maintain periodic reset rates, go to the amend term loan repayment page. From the Term Loan launch screen, click on the Trade ID to be amended.
