The Revolving Credit Facility Agreement is a fundamental financing document used when a borrower requires flexible access to funding over an extended period. This agreement, governed by Hong Kong law, enables borrowers to draw down, repay, and reborrow funds multiple times within a specified facility limit and term. It is particularly suitable for companies with varying working capital needs or those requiring funding flexibility for general corporate purposes. The document incorporates Hong Kong regulatory requirements, including those under the Banking Ordinance and Companies Ordinance, and typically follows Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) recommended provisions. It contains comprehensive provisions covering facility mechanics, conditions precedent, representations, covenants, and events of default, making it suitable for both bilateral and syndicated lending arrangements in the Hong Kong market.
