The Loan Facility Agreement is a fundamental financial instrument used in Irish corporate and commercial lending transactions. This document is essential when a lender (typically a bank or financial institution) agrees to provide financing to a borrower under specific terms and conditions. The agreement comprehensively addresses all aspects of the lending relationship, including facility limits, drawdown mechanics, interest calculations, repayment terms, and security arrangements. It ensures compliance with Irish financial services legislation, Central Bank requirements, and relevant EU regulations. The document is structured to protect both lender and borrower interests while maintaining flexibility for various types of lending arrangements, from simple bilateral facilities to complex syndicated loans. The agreement also incorporates specific Irish law considerations regarding security, enforcement, and regulatory compliance.
