Event Synopsis:
Earlier this year, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) proposed amendments to the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definition for "narrowly tailored credit events" (NCTE). NCTE is described as an arrangement with a certain corporation that induces a credit event leading to a credit default swap settlement while denigrating the impact on the corporation. However, its proposed amendments relate only to 'failure to pay' credit events. If the amendment is to be adopted, it is expected that market participants will use the amended resolution for new credit default swaps (CDS) contracts, and a market protocol will provide market participants the opportunity to apply the amended definition to existing credit derivative transactions.
Beyond the growth and amendments of this overall policy, market participants should keep in mind that the proposed resolution can present potential ambiguities.
In this LIVE Webcast, financial experts Ignacio Franceschelli (NERA Economic Consulting) and Bjorn Bjerke (Shearman & Sterling LLP) will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the recent developments on ISDA’s credit derivatives definitions. As experts, they will also present the important issues surrounding this significant topic including the implications and ambiguities to face for the year ahead.
Key topics include:
• ISDA’s Proposed Amendments – Updates
• ISDA’s Proposed Guidance – What You Should Know
• Commentaries
• Implications and Ambiguities
• Outlook
