The UK Financial Conduct Authority announced in 2017 that it would no longer support the calculation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which has been a widely used benchmark rate used in calculating variable rate debt instruments. As certain LIBOR tenors are expected to be phased out by the end of 2021, and the remaining tenors will be phased out by June 30, 2023, some instruments that use LIBOR as a benchmark may have to be amended or terminated. Though some newer instruments have “fallback” language to account for the risk that LIBOR would become unavailable for use, older instruments may not have this flexibility-creating language.
