AMENDMENT(S) OF SECURITY AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION
The Bank will require to hold the following additional security document(s) and/or other document(s) in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank:
1. | A Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount up to USD5,000,000.-) granted by the Borrower(s). |
The Bank has sole discretion to determine whether and to what extent any charged securities granted in favour of the Bank shall be relied upon when it sets or reviews the limit for the facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, the Bank is not obliged to take into account the value of any charged securities when deciding the limit of the facilities. “Securities” means (i) all stocks, shares, securities, debentures, bonds, notes, options, warrants, funds, unit trusts, certificates of deposit, money market instruments, other equity, debt and financial instruments of any kind, (ii) all dividends, interest, distributions and other moneys derived therefrom and (iii) all accretions, allotments, and other benefits accruing or arising in respect thereof.
Certain capital in nature instruments such as bonds issued by HSBC and its subsidiaries are excluded from the scope of charged securities.
A charge over the Borrower(s)’s deposit(s) for USD5,000,000.- or its equivalent in other foreign currencies placed with the Bank.
In the event of the value of the foreign currency deposit charged to the Bank falling below the required level and upon the Bank’s request, the Borrower(s) should immediately pledge to the Bank additional security acceptable to the Bank to bring the value back to the threshold.
We attach our standard “Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount)”. Please arrange to sign and return to us the document(s), together with the supporting board resolution(s).
This “Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount)” needs to be registered with the Companies Registry. Please sign and return the “Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount)” within 5 business days of execution. The related registration fee (currently HKD340.-per document) will be charged to the debit of the Borrower(s)’s account.
In consideration of the above mentioned security being made available, the Bank is agreeable to releasing the following security document(s) and other document(s):
2. | An Irrevocable Standby Documentary Credit dated 11 August 2017 for USDl,000,000.- [Previously USD3,000,000.-] from UBS Switzerland AG, Zurich expiring on 30 April 2023. |
