Flex language

Last updated June 26, 2025

Flex language or market flex language is flexibility inserted into a syndicated loan contract that allows the arranging bank to alter the terms of the borrowing in order to attract enough lenders to finance the loan.^[1] These alterations could include increases in the interest rate, changes in covenants, or increases in prepayment penalties. Market flex language was adopted by arrangers following the 1998 Russian financial crisis.^[1]
