UK Capital Reforms May Help Startup Founders, VC Investors (Law360)
*
Investment firms, including wealth managers, financial advisers and brokers, will have noted the Financial Conduct Authority's recent consultation on the definition of capital for FCA investment firms. The consultation contains amendments to its Prudential Sourcebook for MiFID Investment Firms, or MIFIDPRU. The MIFIDPRU governs regulatory capital -- the funds that the FCA requires a firm to hold in orderto help the firm avoid insolvency and, if the firm becomes insolvent, to help it be wound down in an orderly manner that protects the integrity of the financial system and the firm's customers. Investors in those firms, such as venture capital and private equity funds, should also take note. Hidden in the FCA proposals are changes to the eligibility requirements for instruments, such as shares, to be included in a firm's regulatory capital. This change will potentially reduce the risk of investing, especially in early-stage fintech firms.

*
For over half a century, companies that need federal permits, licenses, and approvals for construction and development projects have had to contend with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA requires federal agencies to conduct a detailed environmental review before undertaking a major federal action (like permitting, granting a right-of-way, or holding a lease salefor offshore projects) that could have a significant effect on the environment. NEPA reviews can hold up projects for months or even years, and--even after they are completed--NEPA can delay or even block a project because NEPA offers an avenue for a project's opponents to sue, alleging that the project has to be stopped because the NEPA review was not sufficient. Moreover, while NEPA does not compel an agency to take any particular action based on the results of an environmental review, a finding of a major adverse environmental effect often triggers still more review, and agencies frequently elect to mitigate the identified effects, by--for example--reducing the scope of a permit or imposing conditions on a project.

When President Donald Trump announced a sweeping series of trade tariffs at the start of April, there followed an immediate rush to grasp how the new import taxes might impact private debt funds. Simon Fulbrook, a partner at law firm Goodwin, says: "We have a number of transactions effectively on hold as a result of parties waiting to understand what the impact of tariffs will be. Plus, we haveseen some lenders voice higher pricing as a result or give indications that the lower pricing environment we have recently seen will no longer be possible. In venture debt and growth capital, and where financing is being done against annual recurring revenues rather than EBITDA, we have seen very little impact to date. Where things are really slowing down is in sectors like industrials or aviation, or where European businesses have clear US trading links. Logistics is starting to look difficult as well. Most companies are going to feel an impact. The question is how material it will be for the business. I would be surprised if anyone is inking deals in impacted sectors right now, given the uncertainty, unless there is an opportunity to acquire assets at lower valuations."
