Document background
The Mezzanine Loan Agreement Template is designed for use in the United Arab Emirates, where financing arrangements must navigate both conventional banking practices and Sharia law considerations. This template is typically employed when companies seek financing that bridges the gap between senior debt and equity, offering flexible terms and potentially including equity-like features such as profit participation or conversion rights. The document addresses key UAE regulatory requirements, including the UAE Federal Law No. 18 of 1993 (Commercial Code) and Federal Law No. 14 of 2018 (Central Bank Law), while providing a framework for security interests, intercreditor relationships, and enforcement mechanisms. The template is structured to accommodate various business sectors and transaction sizes, with particular attention to UAE-specific security perfection requirements and enforcement procedures.
