The Subsidiary Loan Agreement is a crucial document for organizing intra-group financing in corporate structures operating under Belgian law. It is typically used when a parent company provides financial support to its subsidiary for various purposes such as working capital, expansion, acquisition financing, or restructuring. The agreement must comply with Belgian corporate law requirements, particularly regarding corporate benefit, financial assistance rules, and thin capitalization regulations. Given Belgium's position as a key European business hub, these agreements often involve cross-border elements and must align with both Belgian and EU regulations. The document includes comprehensive provisions on loan terms, security (if applicable), covenants, and events of default, while addressing specific Belgian law considerations such as registration requirements and tax implications. This type of agreement requires careful structuring to ensure enforceability and optimal tax treatment under Belgian law.
