Voluntary Reductions of Loan Commitments Clause Samples

The Voluntary Reductions of Loan Commitments clause allows a borrower to reduce the amount of unused loan commitments under a credit agreement at their discretion. Typically, the borrower must provide advance written notice to the lender, and the reduction is often subject to minimum thresholds or increments as specified in the agreement. This clause gives borrowers flexibility to manage their borrowing capacity and reduce potential interest or commitment fees on undrawn amounts, ultimately helping them optimize their financing costs and obligations.
