Swedish term or phrase: vid var tid
Som framgår av villkoren för Konvertibellånet kommer en konvertering av det vid var tid utestående lånebeloppet leda till utgivande av aktier motsvarande 51 procent av samtliga aktier - am I correct in understanding that this refers to an outstanding loan amount at any time? Thanks.

at that time


Explanation:
People often write things like "at any (one) time" but that makes little sense to me. In fact the whole phrase is redundant and could be omitted IMHO.

disagree  Anna Herbst: What time do you refer to when you say "at that time"? No time has yet been mentioned. This is a legally binding contract. What might be considered redundant in everyday language is often essential in legal documents to avoid unintended interpretations.
