GMRA FATCA language
UPDATED- An ICMA working group has developed GMRA FATCA language for use with the GMRA 2000 , GMRA 2011 and the associated Equities Annexes. The language considers withholding obligations under FATCA and amends relevant provisions in the latter agreements. The language is provided for bilateral negotiation into existing arrangements. Parties should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the GMRA FATCA language for the particular circumstances in which it is used.
