Description
An orphan structure is often used in a structured finance transaction where a special purpose vehicle ("SPV") is created for securitisation transaction. In such a structure, the essence is to have the SPV unconnected to any of the transactional parties hence achieving the off-balance sheet treatment and bankruptcy remoteness. This webinar will look at the securitisation transaction from the orphaned SPV's perspective, and will take a deeper dive into the creation, maintenance, and the role of such orphaned SPV in a transaction, as well as the regulatory, operational and documentational aspects of an orphan structured financing transaction.
