A look back at the impact of COVID-19 on Canadian credit agreements and upcoming developments in 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the Canadian debt market. With changes to LIBOR and CDOR provisions on the horizon, corporations and lenders need to remain focused on developing secure and flexible strategies to effectively navigate the anticipated economic restart and recovery in the coming months.

-
Insights into the issues and creative solutions being used to address reporting and financial covenants, MAE clauses, and material contracts and contractual obligations in financing transactions
-
Lessons learned in lending in the current market

An update on fallback planning provisions for LIBOR and CDOR (not including the FCA and IBA announcements on LIBOR cessation made on March 5; for a detailed overview of the announcements and their implications, please read our Osler Update here)
