    In cross-border acquisition financing, it is common practice that so-called 'security principles' are negotiated and defined in an annex to the facilities agreement. On the one hand, it is specifically held in these security principles what security will be granted by the obligors and the target group to the finance parties; and on the other hand, it also generally describes circumstances under which an exception to the obligation to provide certain security can occur. The security principles provide guidance to the lawyers involved in different jurisdictions whose task it is to translate these principles into specific security documents.
