Secured obligations “relevant financial obligations” means the obligations which are secured by a financial collateral
arrangement and which give a right to cash settlement and/or delivery of financial instruments or toassets underlying such financial instruments. Relevant financial obligations may consist of orinclude:
– present or future, actual or contingent or prospective obligations, without the need tospecifically describe them;
– obligations owed to the collateral taker by a person other than the collateral provider; or
– obligations of a specified class or kind arising from time to time.
What do we see in practice?
– Typically use the same definition as in the facility agreement/intercreditor agreement.Definition will depend on the nature of the transaction.
– No issue with cross-collateralisation under Luxembourg law.
– Mainly monetary obligations.
– Conceivable to secure an obligation to do something.

Introduction to ATAD On 12 July 2016 the EU Council adopted the Directive (EU) 2016/1164 (“ATAD 1”) laying down
rules against tax avoidance practices that directly affect the functioning of the internal market.
ATAD 1 contains five legally-binding anti-abuse measures, which all Member States shouldapply against common forms of aggressive tax planning. Member States had to apply most ofthese measures as from 1 January 2019.
On 21 December 2018, the law transposing ATAD 1 (the “Law”) was published in the MémorialA N°1164.
On 29 May 2017 the Council adopted the Directive (EU) 2017/952 (“ATAD 2” together withATAD 1 would be “ATAD”) amending ATAD 1 as regard to hybrid mismatches rules, whichbroadens the hybrid mismatches situations covered by ATAD I and extends its application tonon-EU Member States.
Member States have until 31 December 2019 to transpose the ATAD 2 provisions, ready to beapplied from 1 January 2020 (by exception 1 January 2022 for the reverse hybrid provisions).
On 8 August 2019, Luxembourg published the draft law that would implement hybrid mismatchmeasures of the 2017/952 EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD 2) into Luxembourg domesticlaw.

27 / B_LIVE_EMEA2:1160204v1
ATAD - Hybrid mismatches ruleKey points with respect to Article 9 of ATAD 2:
When reference to associated enterprise is made, it should be distinguished if it is within thecontext of a payment under a financial instrument or in the context of a hybrid entity, as theholding percentage requirement differs, i.e. 25% for financial instruments and 50% forpartnerships.
After the transposition of ATAD 2 in Luxembourg domestic tax law, ‘acts together’ concept willbe introduced. Such concept extents the situations to which the application of the hybridmismatches rule would apply.
