{{eqderivprov|Loss of Stock Borrow}} is an {{eqderivprov|Additional Disruption Event}} in the {{2002equitydefs}}, and is fondly abbreviated, by this commentator at least, to {{eqderivprov|LOSB}}. It pairs nicely with an {{eqderivprov|Increased Cost of Stock Borrow}}, fish or chicken. See also {{eqderivprov|12.9(b)(vii)}} which deals with the tension between {{eqderivprov|LOSB}} and {{eqderivprov|Hedging Disruption}}. | {{eqderivprov|Loss of Stock Borrow}} is an {{eqderivprov|Additional Disruption Event}} in the {{2002equitydefs}}, and is fondly abbreviated, by this commentator at least, to {{eqderivprov|LOSB}}.

*Where the {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}} can’t locate a stock borrow, the {{eqderivprov|Non-Hedging Party}} has the option to source one that is struck at less than the {{eqderivprov|Maximum Stock Loan Rate}} within two {{eqderivprov|Scheduled Trading Days}}, failing which the {{eqderivprov|Hedging Party}} can terminate the {{eqderivprov|Transaction}}. | |||

*Where {{eqderivprov|LOSB}} and {{eqderivprov|Hedging Disruption}} both apply and the same event could qualify as either, it will be treated as a {{eqderivprov|LOSB}} (which has milder consequences for the affected party). | *Where {{eqderivprov|LOSB}} and {{eqderivprov|Hedging Disruption}} both apply and the same event could qualify as either, it will be treated as a {{eqderivprov|LOSB}} (which has milder consequences for the affected party). | ||
*'''Synthetic PB''': For [[synthetic prime brokerage]], it is common for the [[PB]] to pass on its stock borrowing costs (well: it is a synthetic equivalent of a stock borrow and a short sale, after all, so this makes sense). It does this by subtracting the prevailing borrow rate from the floating rate it pays under the swap. Therefore the {{eqderivprov|Non-Hedging Party}} wears the ultimate cost of the expensive [[stock borrow]], so there’s no real need to impose a {{eqderivprov|Maximum Stock Loan Rate}} (though [[prime broker]]s will typically impose one as a matter of course). | *'''Synthetic PB''': For [[synthetic prime brokerage]], it is common for the [[PB]] to pass on its stock borrowing costs (well: it is a synthetic equivalent of a stock borrow and a short sale, after all, so this makes sense).
