Foreign Subsidiaries Security Clause Samples
The Foreign Subsidiaries Security clause establishes the requirement for a company's foreign subsidiaries to provide collateral or security interests in support of the parent company's obligations, typically under a financing arrangement. In practice, this means that assets owned by subsidiaries located outside the home country may be pledged to secure loans or other credit facilities, and the clause will often specify which subsidiaries are included and the form of security required. This clause is essential for lenders as it extends their security interests beyond domestic assets, thereby reducing credit risk and increasing the likelihood of repayment in the event of default.
