The private party's financing documents are likely to require it to also obtain the consent of its financiers to changes in control and ownership. There is a degree of alignment between the government party and the financiers, in that the financiers will be concerned about any impact the change may have on the risk profile of the project. However, the financiers' focus will be on financial risks (that is, the risk that the private party may be unable to meet its payment obligations), whereas the government party is concerned about a broader range of issues, including public interest considerations and ongoing sustainability of service delivery. The fact that the financiers have approved a change in control or ownership should therefore not be regarded as an indication that the change should also be acceptable to the government party.
