Venture Global Announces Closing of $1.5 Billion Senior Secured Vessel Financing Facility

Key Terms

credit and guaranty agreement financial

A credit and guaranty agreement is a contract that sets out the terms of a loan or credit line and names one or more parties who promise to back the borrower’s obligations, like a co-signer on a car loan. It spells out repayment rules, interest, collateral, and remedies if payments stop, so investors use it to judge how risky a company’s debt is and who would be on the hook if the borrower defaults.

senior secured term loan facility financial

A senior secured term loan facility is a type of borrowed money that a company takes out, which is backed by its valuable assets like property or equipment. Because it is secured by these assets and ranks higher in repayment priority, it is considered safer for lenders and typically offers lower interest rates. For investors, it provides a relatively stable and priority claim on the company's assets if it encounters financial difficulties.

facility agent financial

A facility agent is the bank or financial firm appointed to handle the day-to-day administration of a syndicated loan on behalf of a group of lenders. It acts like a project manager between the borrower and lenders—collecting and sending payments, keeping records, enforcing loan terms and coordinating waivers or amendments—so investors know who is overseeing compliance, cash flows and communication when multiple parties share a loan.

security trustee financial

A security trustee is a neutral third party appointed to hold and manage collateral — such as property, accounts, or legal claims — on behalf of lenders or bondholders under a loan or bond agreement. It matters to investors because the trustee enforces rights to that collateral if the borrower defaults, acting like a trusted custodian who ensures multiple creditors are treated fairly and recovery is orderly, which helps protect investment value.
