Commentary on Sections Overview Overview Section 548: Meaning of debtor repo
1455.This section introduces the concept of “debtor repo” – that is, a repo from the point of view of the borrower, the company that sells securities as collateral. It is based on paragraph 2 of Schedule 13 to FA 2007. It is intended to cover normal repos executed under standard market documentation (although since it does not require the borrower to buy the securities back from “the lender” it goes slightly wider than this).
