Objectives of Credit Vetting

BT is willing to accept a degree of commercial risk

BT acknowledges competition is here to stay and does not seek to stifle it via credit vetting

Risk mitigation is essential for corporate governance and compliance with “Turnbull Report”

OFTEL acknowledged the right for BT to be able to carry out credit vets.

Page 5: INTRODUCTION

Objectives …….2

Historically Bad Debt on Interconnect has been low

Since 2000 levels of Bad Debt have increased – this year alone they amount to tens of million pounds

Ultimately bad debt costs the whole industry

Credit Vetting does NOT change the basic payment terms of 30 days

Novation

Working Definition:

“The transfer of the rights and obligations from one party to an Agreement to a third party with the consent of the other (second) party to the original agreement.”

Page 17: INTRODUCTION

Not a Novation

Company A contracts with Company B. Company A changes it’s name via Companies House to “Z”. This is NOT novation.

Company C takes over the equity of A, but A retains its legal identity. This is NOT novation.

Page 18: INTRODUCTION

Novation

Company A contracts with Company B. Company C wants to take over the contract from Company A. There is no legal, or shareholding link between A and C. This is a novation.

Company C takes over the equity of A, and thereafter subsumes the business of A and places A into Liquidation. This contract would have to be novated as the contract stays with the original legal entity (the contract could be terminated due to the insolvency of the original party!) This is a novation.

Company A contracts with Company B. Company A is a wholly owned subsidiary of C, who also owns D and E. Following a restructuring, D and E are merged under the identity of E and takes over the business and assets of A. A continues to trade. E wants the contract with B. A novation is required.
