First established in the 1987 ISDA, {{{{{1}}}|CEUM}} was gently upgraded for the 1992 ISDA to include {{{{{1}}}|Credit support Provider}}s and {{{{{1}}}|Specified Entities}}, and to clarify who, upon such a merger, is the {{{{{1}}}|Affected Party}}, as per this comparison.

It then had quite the overhaul of {{{{{1}}}|Credit Event Upon Merger}} between 1992 ISDA and 2002 ISDA as this comparison illustrates.

{{{{{1}}}|Designated Event}} is part of the definition of {{{{{1}}}|Credit Event Upon Merger}} in the 2002 ISDA, and doesn't have an equivalent in the 1992 ISDA.

The 2002 ISDA introduced the “Designated Event” in an attempt to define more forensically the sorts of corporate events that should be covered by CEUM. They are notoriously difficult to pin down. Even before the 2002 ISDA was published, it was common to upgrade the 1992 ISDA formulation to something resembling the glorious concoction that became Section 5(b)(v) of the 2002 ISDA. The 1992 wording is a bit lame. On the other hand, you could count the number of times an ISDA Master Agreement is closed out purely on account of Credit Event Upon Merger on the fingers of one hand, even if you had lost all the fingers on that hand to an industrial accident.

So — yeah.
