SBA Form 2286: 504 Debenture Closing Checklist

CDC must fill out all spaces in the information grid at the top of the Checklist. The information will come from the Authorization for Debenture Guarantee (Authorization) or modifications to the Authorization from the time of approval to the time of debenture closing.

At debenture closing, SBA checks the SBA loan name, Borrower and Operating Company name, loan amount, and loan number in its database to ensure this information matches the closing documents and the Authorization. If the information is inconsistent, the CDC must request an appropriate modification to the Authorization. SBA's Central Servicing Agent also checks the SBA loan name and debenture amount in SBA's database and will require changes if inconsistencies exist.

SBA Loan # must be the same as on the Authorization. This number never changes after loan approval.

SBA Loan Name must be the same as on the Authorization. The SBA loan name may change after approval if the names of the Borrower or Operating Company change after loan approval and before debenture closing.

The SBA loan name is the first available name from the following list: the "dba" name or trade name of the Operating Company; the name of the Operating Company; the "dba" name or trade name of the Borrower; the name of the Borrower. If there is more than one Borrower or Operating Company, the SBA loan name is the first Borrower or Operating Company listed.

Borrower: Insert all Borrower names. The Borrower name is the name at the time of closing and as it appears on the loan and debenture closing documents. If the Borrower name has changed from what is stated in the Authorization, the CDC must notify SBA in writing and modify the Authorization before debenture closing so that SBA can enter the change into its database.

Operating Company: If the loan is to an Eligible Passive Company (EPC), insert all Operating Company names, regardless of whether they are Co-Borrowers or Guarantors. This must be the Operating Company name at the time of debenture closing and as it appears on the loan and debenture closing documents. If the Operating Company name has changed from what is stated in the Authorization, the CDC must notify SBA in writing and modify the Authorization before debenture closing so that SBA can enter the change into its database.

CDC: Insert the name and CDC number of the CDC closing and servicing the loan.

Debenture Amount: Insert the debenture amount. This must be the debenture amount at the time of debenture closing and as it appears on the loan and debenture closing documents. If the debenture amount has changed from what is stated on the Authorization at time of loan approval, the CDC must notify SBA in writing and modify the Authorization before debenture closing so that SBA can enter the change into its database. SBA must have reviewed and approved any increases in the debenture amount, and allocated the additional funding to the debenture, before the CDC submits the debenture closing package to SBA.

Debenture Term: Check off the term of the debenture, either 10, 20, or 25 years.

Priority CDC: Mark the appropriate block.

Date of this Checklist: Insert the date that the CDC completes the Checklist.

Authorization for Debenture Guarantee Expiration Date: Insert the date the Authorization will expire, based on the original approval date and any approved extensions. That date must not pass before the debenture sale date.

If the Authorization will expire before the debenture sale date, the CDC must request an extension of the Authorization past the applicable debenture sale date and notify SBA in writing so SBA can enter the extension into SBA's database.

Date Loan File Ordered from SLPC: Insert the date the CDC requested that the Sacramento Loan Processing Center send the file to the district office for debenture closing.

CDC Contact Names: Insert the name, e-mail address, phone number and fax number for the CDC employee and CDC counsel responsible for debenture closing and completing the Checklist, and who can answer questions about the debenture closing documents.

Check block indicating whether or not Counsel is a Designated Attorney.

Closing Documents: This is the list of documents SBA reviews to determine whether SBA may guarantee the debenture and approve the debenture sale to fund the 504 loan.

CDCs using a Designated Attorney must submit only the first 8 documents on the Checklist for SBA review.

CDCs not using a designated attorney must submit copies of all 13 documents on the Checklist for SBA review.

In the column labeled “CDC,” the CDC must check off each document the CDC has submitted in the closing package attached to this Checklist.

SBA will check the column labeled “SBA” when reviewing the debenture closing package.

The CDC may send multiple post-closing packages to the CLSC if necessary, but the CDC must send the first set of documents by no later than 30 days after the debenture sale date.
