Abstract: Under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“Act”) a corporation or other person organized under the laws of a foreign government proposing to serve as trustee under a qualified indenture must apply for a determination of eligibility to serve as trustee on Form T-6 (17 CFR 269.9) that is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). As required by Section 310(a)(1) of the Act, the foreign trustee must provide evidence that it is authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, and it is subject to supervision or examination by authority of the foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to U.S. institutional trustees. In addition, the form requires the foreign trustee to file a report of condition and a written consent to service of process. Additional information required by the form regards possible conflicts of interest, which would disqualify the trustee from serving. This information relates to affiliations with the issuer or its underwriters, any outstanding trusteeships under other indentures of the same issuer, interlocking directorates and similar relationships with the issuer or its underwriters, voting securities of the trustee owned by the issuer or its officials, voting securities of the trustee owned by underwriters of the issuer, securities of the issuer owned or held by the trustee, securities of the underwriters owned or held by the trustee, ownership or holdings by the trustee of voting securities of affiliates of the issuer, and ownership or holdings by the trustee of any securities of a person owning 50% or more of the voting securities of the issuer. The information in the Form T-6 provides a basis for deciding that a foreign trustee is eligible to serve as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Act. If the information contained in the Form T-6 were not collected, the basis for that decision would be unavailable.
