The project for which the loan was granted is proving more costly than anticipated and the project is also running behind schedule. As a result, it will be necessary for Mega International to raise the equivalent of a further twenty five million US dollars to complete the project. Mega International, although an asset rich company, is suffering from cash flow problems and is finding it difficult to repay the interest on the syndicated loan. The project for which the money was borrowed will not start to produce any meaningful amount of revenue for at least another five years.
Mega International needs to find a away to reduce the cash outflow on the project and to ensure that it is able to make all payments due to its creditors. The directors of the company are aware that it is vital to maintain the company’s excellent reputation in the international business community.
You, as a lawyer based in London who specializes international financial law, are required to advise the directors of the company about the possible ways of raising the additional funding while also examining the possible ways of reducing the effect of the interest payments on Mega International’s cash flow. The directors also advise you that in future they want to use the London market for any future financing transactions.
What difference, if any, would it make to your advice if, when examining the constitutional documents of Mega International you discover that it is actually registered in Atlantica (an offshore financial centre).
