(MAE).  


A cash shell is a company whose assets are substantially, or entirely, cash or cash equivalents.
A clause in a loan agreement.


Some cash shells may have a strategy to seek an acquisition opportunity or to develop a business as a start-up.
It is intended as a 'catch-all' clause and states that if there is a change in the circumstances of the borrower that materially and adversely affects the borrower's ability to repay, then this will constitute an event of default.  
 
Accordingly, there is some overlap between cash shell companies and  Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SAPCs).
