The Rollover Loan Agreement is a critical financing instrument in the Nigerian banking sector, designed to provide flexibility in loan management while ensuring compliance with local banking regulations. This document is typically used when a borrower wishes to extend an existing loan facility instead of repaying it at maturity, subject to meeting certain financial and operational criteria. The agreement must comply with Nigerian federal banking laws, including the Central Bank of Nigeria Act and BOFIA 2020, particularly regarding interest rate caps, security requirements, and banking practices. It's commonly used in commercial lending scenarios where businesses require ongoing financing support, and includes comprehensive provisions for loan renewal terms, conditions precedent, security arrangements, and regulatory compliance requirements. The document also addresses specific Nigerian market considerations such as foreign exchange regulations when applicable.
