An Early Withdrawal Request can be made by

1. The Lender clicks “Withdraw Early” in the OpenTrade application

2. The Lender inputs the amount of vault tokens corresponding to the percentage of the Loan that they’d like to terminate

3. The Lender approves the transaction from their whitelisted wallet.

4. The Borrower will receive the early withdrawal request and begin processing it

5. Once processed, the Early Withdrawal Amount will be automatically sent directly back to your white-listed wallet.

Partial termination of a Loan via Early Withdrawal Request can be exercised on more than one occasion for the same loan. Different Early Withdrawal Processing Periods will run sequentially and not simultaneously.

Early Withdrawal Processing Period

Receipt of a valid Early Withdrawal Request from a Lender will result in the sale of relevant loan collateral and the Lender(s) will can withdraw USDC equal to Early Withdrawal Amount on or before Close of Business on the Business Day after the completion of the Early Withdrawal Processing Period.

The Early Withdrawal Processing Period is the number of business days required to process an early withdrawal request, including the liquidation of the relevant loan collateral, conversion of USD into USDC, and delivery of USDC back to the Vault at which stage it can be withdrawn by the Lender by redeeming Vault Tokens.

The Early Withdrawal Processing Period for the Treasury Management & Yield Product is currently up two (2) business days but most are repaid much sooner.

Following the Early Withdrawal Processing Period, the Borrower will repay the loan by transferring the Early Withdrawal Amount less the Early Withdrawal Request Fee in USDC into the vault, which can then be withdrawn by the Lender.

Early Withdrawal Amount

The Early Withdrawal Amount is the amount of USDC equal in value to the Net Sale Proceeds of the amount of Collateral corresponding to the proportion of the Loan which the Lender has requested to terminate early via an Early Withdrawal Request.

The Loan Amount will be adjusted to reflect the Net Sale Proceeds, which means the actual sale proceeds of the Collateral which is disposed of in order to transfer an Early Withdrawal Repayment Amount to the Lender

Early Withdrawal Request Fee

Early Withdrawals are subject to an Early Withdrawal Request Fee, a fee equal to the amount of the Loan to be terminated multiplied by the Early Withdrawal Request Fee Percentage set out in the Loan Confirmation. This fee will be deducted from the amount of the Loan to be terminated and paid to the Platform Provider.

The Early Withdrawal Request Fee covers the costs of liquidating the collateral, including brokerage and fiat conversion fees.
