A novation is the replacement of a contract between two counterparties (Transferor, who steps out of the existing deal, and Remaining Party) to an OTC derivatives transaction with a new contract between Remaining Party and a third party (Transferee). The novation agreement must be signed by the transferor, the transferee, and the counterparty (the other contracting party).
