The Term Loan Facility Agreement is a fundamental financing document used when a borrower requires a fixed-term loan for specific business purposes such as capital expenditure, acquisitions, or general corporate purposes. Governed by Maltese law, this agreement sets out the complete framework for the lending arrangement, including detailed provisions on facility amount, drawdown mechanics, interest calculations, repayment terms, security arrangements, and various protections for the lender. The document must comply with Maltese banking regulations and financial services legislation, particularly the Banking Act and Financial Institutions Act. It is typically used for corporate or commercial lending transactions where the loan is to be repaid over a predetermined period through scheduled repayments, rather than revolving credit facilities or on-demand facilities.
