LT2 nostre e di altri paesi...
Ho letto diversi posts, oggi, sul livello bassissimo raggiunto da svariati LT2 di banche italiane. Non credo che le straniere se la passino molto meglio. Avte visto dove è arrivata l'LT2 di SNS Reaal (in realtà SRLEV)?
Quest'ultima ha annunciato l'intenzione di emettere un nuovo Tier 1 che, stando a S&P suona come sotto riportato. Francamente mi sarei aspettato un tasso più alto da SLREV/SNS: a occhio il messaggio potrebbe essere che i Tier 1 assicurativi di nuova generazione saranno meno penalizzanti (Tier 1 con deferral?) per l'investitore (e quindi remunerati meno) del corrispondente titolo bancario. Un giudizio compiuto sarà possibile solo quando avremo letto il prospetto.
The following is a press release from Standard & Poor's:
-- Netherlands-based SRLEV N.V. plans to issue perpetual unsecured
subordinated callable notes.
-- We are assigning a 'BBB' issue rating to the proposed notes.
-- We expect to classify the proposed notes as having "intermediate
equity content" according to our hybrid capital criteria.
LONDON (Standard & Poor's) July 11, 2011--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services
said today that it has assigned its 'BBB' long-term issue rating to the
proposed perpetual unsecured subordinated callable notes to be issued by Dutch
insurer SRLEV N.V. (A-/Negative/--). The group's holding company, SNS REAAL
N.V. (BBB+/Negative/A-2), will guarantee the notes. We will confirm the rating
on the notes when we have received and reviewed the final terms and conditions
of the issue.
The rating is two notches below our counterparty credit rating on SRLEV, which
reflects our standard notching for junior subordinated debt issues. We have
analyzed and rated the proposed debt issue on the understanding that, when
issued, the notes will be subordinated to senior creditors, and deferrable.
We expect to classify the notes as "intermediate equity content" under our
hybrid capital criteria. Again, we will confirm this when we have reviewed the
final terms and ascertained that the notes qualify as regulatory capital. Our
classification may change if the final Solvency II implementation measures
were to preclude eligibility of the notes as regulatory capital.
Under our criteria, we allow hybrid securities to comprise up to 25% of total
adjusted capital (TAC). TAC is the measure of available capital we use in our
consolidated risk-based capital analysis of insurance companies. Issuing the
proposed notes would bring the hybrid proportion of the group's insurance
entities close to the 25% ceiling.
We understand that the notes will contain interest deferral provisions that
enable SRLEV to choose to defer coupons at any time, unless it has declared or
paid dividends during the six months before the interest payment date. If
SRLEV does not meet the regulatory solvency requirements, interest would be
deferred under the terms of the notes, and repayment at maturity could also be
deferred. Initially, SRLEV will pay a fixed annual coupon of 7%. After the
first call date in December 2016, the coupon will be reset to the prevailing
five-year Swiss franc mid-swap rate plus the initial margin. Thereafter, the
coupon will be reset every five years. The notes do not include an interest
margin step-up.
