taux du SWAP amortissable

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Facility agreement
In a Facility Agreement, the 'taux du SWAP amortissable' is defined as follows: 'le taux fixe du SWAP amortissable calculé au plus tard deux (2) Jours Ouvrés avant la date de calcul du taux fixe sur la base de l’amortissement résiduel du Prêt à partir des taux fixes d’intérêts échangés contre EURIBOR 6 mois offerts (taux de SWAP offert) par les 16 établissements de crédit donnant quotidiennement à 11 heure, heure de Francfort, une cotation consultable à 11 heure sur la page ISDAFIX2 de Reuters'.

Thanks, context always helps. I think I've puzzled my way through it and have suggested an answer.
Sarah Russell (asker) Jul 24, 2019:
Thanks for your suggestion Steve. The only other context I have is a clause entitled 'Option de conversion du taux variable en taux fixe', which reads as follows: 'Sur demande de l’Emprunteur, le Prêt pourra être converti en Prêt à taux fixe à tout moment après la Date de Consolidation du Prêt. Aucune conversion ne pourra intervenir au cours des trois dernières années du Prêt. Cette demande de conversion doit être formulée dans la quinzaine qui précède une date d’échéance. Sous réserve de la régularisation de l’avenant de conversion, elle prendra effet le premier jour de l’échéance qui suit la demande.
Le taux fixe retenu lors de la conversion sera égal au taux de référence, défini ci-après, augmenté de la majoration du Prêt. Le taux de référence sera le Taux du SWAP amortissable, majoré de 0,20%'. Although I'm guessing this isn't of much help ...
Steve Robbie Jul 24, 2019:
Fixed amortisable swap rate? Is a guess, but to be honest it's hard to tell from this one sentence precisely what the nature of the swap transaction is, or what purpose this number serves in the rest of the agreement - which is probably the crucial thing.

amortizing interest rate swap

Hello
Similar to other suggestion, but the interest is not fixed (or only in part)
See reference that I'm basing myself on 'cos I had no idea what this term meant

fixed amortising swap rate

Based on the discussion, the contract says:

You take out a loan. After 3 years, you have the option of converting that loan into a fixed-rate loan. The fixed rate is the "amortising swap rate". Which means in practice - if i've read this right:
i) the fixed rate is the rate you would get if you swapped what remains of your current variable-rate loan for a fixed-rate loan at the Euribor 6-month offered rate (plus (0.2%), whereby
ii) the swap in question is what is known as an "amortising swap", or a "swap amortissable" in French.

Note: Should just say "amortising swap rate" as the word "fixed" is not actually in the posting.
