DEF

Revolving credit arrangement in the Euromarket, whereby the borrower issues short-term promissory notes (Euronotes) in its own name, generally with maturities of three to six months.

OBS

A group of underwriting banks guarantees the availability of funds by agreeing to purchase any unsold notes at each rollover date, or by writing a standby line of credit. NIFs offer companies the flexibility of short-term financing, and give lenders an opportunity to meet credit needs of borrowers without being required to purchase any unsold notes. The revolving line of credit is often negotiated through a single bank that in turn sells participations to other members of the underwriting syndicate.

CONT

NIF: Note issuance facility. It is difficult to determine when this term was first used but, like "RUF", has become for many the generic term for all manner of euronote issuance facilities irrespective of distribution method. It refers in its accepted sense to a facility using the tender panel distribution method.

OBS

RUFs and NIFs are considered by many as generic terms for any Euronote issuance facility. However, the banks which provide such facilities use varying designations to differentiate their product from those of competitors.
