Crystallisation of Floating Charge Clause Samples
The 'Crystallisation of Floating Charge' clause defines the circumstances under which a floating charge over a company's assets becomes a fixed charge. In practice, this typically occurs upon the occurrence of certain events such as default, insolvency, or the appointment of a receiver, at which point the charge attaches to specific assets and the company loses the ability to freely deal with them. The core function of this clause is to protect the lender's interests by ensuring that, in the event of financial distress, their security over the borrower's assets becomes enforceable and prioritized over other claims.
