20 August 2012 What is Pari Passu charge

20 August 2012 Pari passu charge means when more than one creditor has a charge like mortgage on the same property though created at different times, if they agree among themselves, their charge/mortgage will rank equal in enforcement. For e.g. A Bank having a charge on 1.1.2007 and B Bank has a charge on the same property on 2/2/2008, normally A Bank has the priority. Only after satisfying the dues of A Bank, B bank can claim any surplus realised over and above the dues to A Bank. But if both the banks agree that their charges are pari passu , they can have the share of the proceeds of the sale of the property in enforcement of their mortgages equally i.e. pro rata to their advances or outstandings depending upon the wording of the document under which the pari passu charge has been agreed among them.

20 August 2012 The use of "Pari Passu" when creating a charge means that when company Y goes into dissolution, the assets over which the charge has been created will be distributed in proportion to the creditors' respective holdings. Therefore, if the Bank X has tendered a loan facility of 60 million PKR while another creditor, say Z, has tendered 40 million PKR, the recovery after selling assets of Company Y to which joint pari passu charge attached, shall be distributed in the ratio of 6:4 amongst X and Z. Where preferential rights attach to assets of the company, the preferential creditors rank higher in the distribution stakes i.e. they are paid in priority to other creditors of the company

20 August 2012 Parri Passu is derived from Latin for 'with equal progress'. The phrase is used to indicate simultaneous and equal change or to describe similar ranking of securities or lenders; for example, when a new issue of shares is made, they could be said to rank pari passu, ie, equally with existing shares for the purposes of dividend payments. A common agreement between joint lenders is a pari passu clause under which, in the event of a shortfall, they agree to share equally whatever is available.
