The Sponsor Support Agreement is a fundamental document in project finance transactions under Malaysian law, typically used when a project company requires additional backing from its sponsor to secure financing or maintain project viability. This agreement becomes particularly relevant in large-scale infrastructure, energy, or development projects where lenders seek additional comfort beyond the project's standalone creditworthiness. The document outlines specific triggers for support, quantum of support required, and mechanisms for providing such support, all while ensuring compliance with Malaysian regulatory requirements. The agreement serves as a critical risk mitigation tool for lenders while providing a clear framework for sponsors to understand and manage their support obligations.
