Customer-network interface
Where a public electronic communications network is connected to a customer’s network or apparatus (at the Network Terminating Point) the network and the customers system must each be able to understand the technical operation of the other in order for services to inter-operate across the connection boundary. The customers system and the network must both provide an interface at the point of connection and only where these interfaces are matched will there be interoperability. The technical characteristics that allow for that understanding is the customer-network interface.
Double luxo structure
A structure that may be used for acquisition finance transactions in France. This structure entails the establishment of two Luxembourg companies to sit above the French acquisition vehicle. The top Luxembourg company will typically grant the lenders a charge over its shares in the subsidiary Luxembourg company. The aim of this is to give the lenders an alternative to having to enforce security in France where there are significant borrower protections.
Equity shares
Those shares forming a company’s equity share capital.
