CLBILS - Background

9

Following the launch of Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (‘CBILS’) and Covid Corporate Financing Facility (‘CCFF’) at the end of March, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a new Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (‘CLBILS’) on 3rd April to help support UK corporates that are too large for CLBILS and ineligible for CCFF (either too small to access commercial paper or sub investment grade). Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme

  • The CLBILS provides support to large businesses under the exceptional circumstances caused

by the outbreak of COVID-19

  • The loan is provided under the CLBILS managed by the British Business Bank on behalf of, and with the financial

backing of, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy

  • The scheme can provide funding for eligible and viable businesses, across the UK who are experiencing lost or

deferred revenues, leading to disruptions to their cash flow

  • It is a UK Government backed loan guarantee scheme
  • The scheme is intended to allow businesses negatively impacted by COVID-19 who meet the criteria for the CLBIL

scheme to borrow

  • The Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) provide the Accredited Lender with a limited

guarantee for up to 80% of the balance of an eligible CLBIL

  • However, the Borrower remains liable for 100% of the outstanding debt, including any accumulated interest, even if

the Government guarantee has paid out

  • No guarantee fee is payable by the Borrower to the Government under CLBILS, but note that the Bank does pay a

guarantee fee to the Government

  • The interest rate is charged at the Bank of England Bank Rate (the “Base Rate”) + margin, which will be agreed at the
  • utset. This means the interest rate on the loan will track the Base Rate. Therefore, if Base Rate increases your

repayments on the loan will increase

  • Borrowers under the scheme must not have used CCFF and shall not be permitted to use CCFF if they are using

CLBIL

CLBILS – Key detail

10 Criteria

The Borrower was not, on 31 December 2019, an “undertaking in difficulty” as defined as: (i) you are not a public or private company (limited by shares or by guarantee) that has accumulated losses greater than half of your subscribed share capital; (ii) you are not a partnership, limited partnership or unlimited company that has lost more than half of your capital (as shown in your accounts) as a result of accumulated losses; (iii) you are not subject to collective insolvency proceedings, and you do not fulfil the criteria for being placed in collective insolvency proceedings; (iv) you have not received rescue aid where you haven’t reimbursed the loan or terminated the guarantee, and you have not received restructuring aid and are still subject to a restructuring plan; (v) you have not had the following solvency ratios for the past two years;

  • book to debt equity ratio greater than 7.5; and
  • EBITDA interest coverage below 1.0

The Proposed Scheme Facility Amount is not greater than £25 million for Borrowers with a Group turnover of up to £250m or £50m for Borrowers with a Group turnover greater than £250m, and in each case is not greater than: (i) double the annual wage bill in respect of the United Kingdom business of the Borrower for 2019, or for the last year available, (and in the case of a Borrower created on or after 1 January 2019, the estimated wage bill of the first two years of operation); or (ii) 25% of the total turnover of the United Kingdom business of the Borrower in 2019; or (iii) with appropriate justification and based on self-certification of the Borrower, the amount may be increased to cover the Borrower’s liquidity needs for the next 12 months (such maximum, the “Maximum Amount”)

Criteria

The Proposed Scheme Facility contains the Dividend Restriction. Until the Scheme Facility has been repaid in full, the Borrower must agree not to: (i) declare, make or pay any dividend, charge, fee or other distribution (or interest

  • n any unpaid dividend, charge, fee or other distribution) (whether in cash or in

kind) on or in respect of its share capital (or any class of its share capital) or, if it is a partnership, any equivalent payment to its partners; (ii) repay or distribute any dividend or share premium reserve; (iii) pay or allow any member of its group to pay any management, advisory or other fee to or to the order of any of the shareholders or (if the Borrower is a partnership, partners) of the Borrower; or (iv) redeem, repurchase, defease, retire or repay any of its share capital or resolve to do so, except for: (1) payment of any dividend or distribution declared prior to the entry by the Borrower into the Scheme Facility, or (2) any payment to the extent that the same does not represent an increase to the level of equivalent payments made in the 12 months prior to taking out the Scheme Facility and that would not have a material negative impact on the ability of the Borrower to make all payments due to be made by it under the Scheme Facility The Borrower has not, and will not, use the Bank of England’s Covid Corporate Financing Facility (CCFF)

CCFF – Summary process

12

High Level Summary Process

  • Client engages with Bank of England to register interest in CCFF scheme
  • Bank of England will direct issuer client to fill out application form, including confirming relationship bank(s) internal ratings where

public ratings not available

  • Once lodged, Bank of England (at its sole discretion) determines eligibility
  • If eligible, CP documentation process can begin – typically taking 2 weeks
  • Issuance of CP into the CCFF scheme can happen as soon as documentation is complete
  • The Bank of England will request evidence of investment grade status. Agency and commercial bank ratings can be submitted

Arranger vs. Dealer

  • An Arranger of the CP programme is a bank which co-ordinates set up of a new programme – liaising with external law firms, paying agents,

the issuer and any other dealers on the programme

  • An arranger will naturally be the primary dealer on the programme
  • An issuer is likely to want to add other dealers on the programme in order to mitigate any risk that another dealer can’t act for some reason,
  • r for relationship reasons
  • Lloyds are not charging clients to act in wither Arranger or Dealer capacity

CCFF – Credit ratings

18

What do I do if my company does not have a credit rating? If you do not have a public investment grade rating there are two main options for you to consider. We are happy to discuss these with you ahead of applying – please contact us at CCFFeligibleissuers@bankofengland.co.uk if you wish to do so. 1. BoE will accept banks’ internal ratings of corporates to assess credit status. For this purpose, and following a request confirmed by HM Treasury, Credit Benchmark has provided a credit assessment file to BoE, which consolidates in aggregate form the corporate credit estimates of a number of the largest UK banks. To be considered as having investment grade status based on banks’ internal ratings, and so deemed eligible for the scheme, firms will ordinarily be required to have at least three investment grade bank ratings and no speculative grade bank ratings as at 1 March 2020. To avoid a single bank’s credit view unduly affecting the

  • verall assessment, BoE will not exclude firms with one speculative grade rating provided the average of bank

ratings available is at least BBB/Baa2/BBB/BBB. And BoE will accept only two bank ratings as sufficient proof of investment grade status where a firm is viewed as strongly investment grade i.e. BBB+/Baa1/BBB+/BBB(High) or above. 2. Alternatively, you could seek an assessment of credit quality from one of the major credit rating agencies as

  • f 1 March 2020 in a form that can be shared privately with the Bank of England and HM Treasury, noting that you

are doing so because you wish to use the CCFF. The largest credit rating agencies are prepared to do this and the standard rating agency products we are prepared to accept as suitable evidence of credit status are listed below. We reserve the right to make use of other products. To note that BoE will accept either of these two options at any time. If, for example, your company applied with the intention of being deemed IG-equivalent based on banks’ internal ratings (option 1 above), but was subsequently found to be ineligible via this route, the Bank would still deem a firm IG-equivalent and therefore eligible based on a subsequent rating assessment from one of the major credit rating agencies (option 2 above).
