Live Webinar: Anatomy of the Trust Indenture

This CLE-Eligible webinar is $79.00 for NABL members to attend and $299.00 for non-members. Attendees will earn up to 1.0 CLE credit. 

The trust indenture serves as the foundational document governing the rights, obligations, and relationships among issuers, trustees, bondholders, and other transaction participants in conduit bond financings. Despite its central role, many practitioners focus primarily on selected provisions rather than the full document.

This 60-minute webinar provides a practical, article-by-article examination of the trust indenture, using NABL’s Form Conduit Indenture (2019, Second Edition) as a guide. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the purpose, structure, and operation of the indenture, from the granting clauses and definition sections through bond authorization, redemption, cash flow administration, events of default, trustee responsibilities, amendments, and discharge provisions.

In addition to reviewing key provisions, the program will highlight recurring drafting and negotiation issues that arise in conduit financings and conclude with a practical review checklist for transaction counsel.

This program is designed for bond counsel, underwriter counsel, issuer counsel, trustee representatives, borrower counsel, and other municipal finance professionals who work with conduit financings. Whether you are new to conduit bond transactions or a seasoned practitioner seeking a comprehensive refresher, this webinar will provide valuable insights into one of the most important documents in municipal finance.
