Mauritius Commercial Bank Limited
Our team advised MCB in relation to the security release of certain secured petroleum assets that the borrower was selling to a third party.
We advised on the proposed release mechanism to ensure that the lender was paid from the purchase price whilst protecting its interests. We reviewed the security agreements and partial discharge of charge and attended to its perfection.
We had to think carefully about the mechanism for release of the security to ensure that the sale transaction could proceed to completion while ensuring that the lender was adequately protected. The notice on the deal is here: https://gulfenergy.co.ke/downloads/communication-to-suppliers-and-partners.pdf

The distribution of any such content via any medium, including social media, is an offence in terms of section 18H of the Films and Publications Act 65 of 1996 (Act). The fine, if found guilty, is R150,000 and/or a two-year prison term.
