LIBOR is Leaving in 2021: What You Need to Know
Speakers:
- Brian Goodrich, Deputy General Counsel, MidFirst Bank
Friday, October 16, 2020, 11:15 a.m.
LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) will no longer be a reference rate in 2021. This means that for promissory notes and other lending documents that rely on LIBOR as the reference rate, in-house counsel and others will have to rely on another default reference rate. How does the phasing out of LIBOR affect promissory notes and other contracts that have long referenced LIBOR, since many older promissory notes and contracts that do not reference any alternative reference rate? The US Federal Reserve's AARC has proposed an alternative reference rate and replacement language, are there potential consequences that stem from enforcing notes that have LIBOR as a reference rate, but have no alternative reference rate language? We will discuss how to best prepare your lending operations to address these concerns and others stemming from the LIBOR phase-out against the back-drop of other world events, such as Brexit.
