Hill Dickinson LLP US MLA Fall Meeting 18 October 2018 Panos Pourgourides Partner Hill Dickinson LLP

Recent developments in yacht sale and purchase, ownership and financing

Summary Sale and Purchase Comparison between IYBA and MYBA forms What goes wrong? Deferred consideration and part-exchange Commission, escrow, know-your-client Ownership Issues Finance Comparison between US and European lending model Demise of the European tax-driven leasing structure Construction Finance Bank work outs and enforcement

IYBA v MYBA IYBA – Seller bound on signing, Buyer, option only, to accept following survey MYBA – Seller bound on signing, Buyer bound but free to withdraw after seatrial, with conditional right to withdraw after survey Place of delivery Confidentiality Change of Name Inventory Notices

What goes wrong? Service of invalid notices Buyer missing time limits Definition of “defect” Inventory Insurance – timing, protocol Breakdown – caveat emptor Liability claims against seller/ yacht

Deferred Consideration, Part Exchange Option 1 – sell now, mortgage back to seller as security for balance of price Option 2 – charter now, with option to purchase, mortgage in favour of buyer for his deposit or part-payment Self help remedy when supply of outside finance is limited, but pros and cons to the different approaches Part Exchange – Again associated with sluggish market, but different for dealers and private buyers and sellers

Commission, Escrow Complexities of when commission deemed earned, CA, joint listings Escrow often now a challenge for European brokers and lawyers Increased KYC requirements, source of funds, sanctions

Ownership Issues Choice of flag – Paris MOU, REG, MI and others Choice of shipyard – Construction standards, support during warranty, pedigree and depreciation profiles Insurance – Hull (and increased value), war risks, P&I, crew and MII Tax – VAT, commercial vs pleasure operation, leases, temporary admission Valuations and condition surveys

Finance US Model – Asset backed, standalone, lead on credit European Model – Private banking, expectation of assets under management and additional collateral Debt v lease Demise of European tax-driven leasing structures – Malta and Cyprus Alternatives?

Construction finance issues

Pre-delivery finance – is the contract bankable? Contracts via intermediary sellers rather than builders direct Strength/reputation of builder and any refund guarantor   Assignment, governing law and jurisdiction   Instalments – profile and milestones? Termination provisions Builder's insurance

Security – Refund Guarantees Arguably best form of security, but: Cost ‘On demand’ or by reference to final award/ judgement? Triggers? Validity periods Issuing bank credit rating, central bank approvals

Security – Transfer of title Often used in conjunction with refund guarantees once hull is watertight Buyer can usually also register mortgage once title is transferred – but note builder’s lien Registration of title (and mortgage) can usually be done locally or with intended flag on delivery No inherent cost

Security – transfer of title But, the buyer’s security is the boat – with all attendant risk – so: Is the transfer actually effective and properly recorded? Builder’s lien, other suppliers’ retention of title clauses Local receivers and administrators Do instalments match work-in-progress throughout the build? Additional cost of removal and completion elsewhere? Is builder’s insurance adequate?

Workouts and enforcement Typical order of priorities on enforcement: Admiralty marshall costs Maritime lien claims (except where the lien attached after a possessory lien arose in which case the possessory lien ranks first) Possessory lien claims Mortgages Statutory liens Balance of the fund to the owner or his trustee in bankruptcy or any judgment creditor who has obtained a charging order

Hill Dickinson – What do the legal directories say about us? Chambers and Partners HNW Guide 2017: ‘The best maritime law team in the superyacht business’ ‘Absolutely first-class, astute and experienced…’ ‘Market leaders with a reputation that precedes them’  ‘Highly specialised…at the top of their game…know what they are talking about 100%’ Legal 500 2017:  ‘At Hill Dickinson LLP, Panos Pourgourides has an ‘excellent reputation’ for advising ultra-high-net-worth individuals and lenders, including BNP Paribas and JP Morgan, on superyacht and corporate jet financings.’
