In particular, the transition from LIBOR to SOFR creates a number of potential issues and pitfalls under existing loan documents, including issues related to when the transition will go into effect, discrepancies between LIBOR and SOFR interest rate “floors” in loan documents and the need to obtain lender consents. Lenders should pay careful attention to these issues and consider whether any changes to their existing loan documents or other loan documentation is necessary.
