Certain "Replacement" Structured Finance Swaps Exempted from CFTC Business Conduct Rules | Practical Law
The CFTC issued no-action relief to swap dealers and MSPs from certain CFTC Dodd-Frank business conduct regulations when entering into one or more swaps with a structured finance SPV that replace swaps entered into with the SPV prior to the effectiveness of those rules, provided the replacement is due to a ratings downgrade of the SD or MSP, or other negative credit activity.
