Does the instrument meet the Transferable characteristic?

Question 7 · Deliverable Obligation Characteristic

Verified answer

Yes

Basis. No clause restricting transfer (such as a required issuer consent) was found in the documents. Rule 144A and Regulation S legends are disregarded under the Definitions.

How it was checked · 3 checks
  • Rule re-applied. The Transferable rule (v1.0), re-applied to the stored facts, gives the same result as the code-only Mastermind v3 run of 2026-09-25 (deterministic extraction, no model).
  • Quote verified. The clause quoted for transferability appears verbatim in the cited section.
  • Independent extractor. A second heuristic extractor, run separately, also finds transferability: true.

Transferable

The obligation (other than a loan) must be transferable to institutional investors without any contractual, statutory or regulatory restriction; Rule 144A and Regulation S restrictions are disregarded, and consent requirements on loans are separate characteristics.

These checks are CDSBench's provisional reading of the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions, not legal advice.
