It's time to play the game
appunto, se vede che perde l'inv. grade vedi che fine fa fare alle cedole :lol: altro che aumento
ovviamente si scherza

La mia opinione personale (che quindi vale meno di 0!) è che l'Olanda cercherà di evitarsi altri problemi/cause nel breve-medio termine! ;)
E poi KPN non è emittente finanziario! ;)

Rating Action: Moody's assigns (P)Ba1 rating to USD tranche of KPN's hybrid bond issuance
Global Credit Research - 13 Mar 2013
Madrid, March 13, 2013 -- Moody's Investors Service has today assigned a provisional (P)Ba1 long-term rating to the proposed issuance of "US$ Capital Securities" (the "hybrid debt") by Koninklijke KPN N.V. (KPN). The outlook on the rating is negative. The size and completion of the hybrid debt remain subject to market conditions. All other ratings and outlook remain unchanged.

Moody's issues provisional ratings in advance of the final sale of securities and these ratings reflect Moody's preliminary credit opinion regarding the transaction only. Upon a conclusive review of the final documentation, Moody's will endeavour to assign a definitive rating to the hybrid debt. A definitive rating may differ from a provisional rating.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The (P)Ba1 rating assigned to the hybrid debt is two notches below the group's senior unsecured rating of Baa2. The two-notch rating differential primarily reflects the deeply subordinated nature of the hybrid debt, which is senior only to ordinary shares and ranks pari passu with preference shares.

The hybrid debt has the following features: (1) these are 60-year securities; (2) KPN has the option to defer coupons on a cumulative basis and there are payment restrictions on parity securities and ordinary shares; (3) there is no step-up prior to year 10, with the first step-up being 25 basis points (bps) and the second step-up taking effect 20 years after the first par call date with an incremental 75 bps; and (4) there is a step-up of 500 bps upon a change-of-control event and all senior debt gets repaid first upon such event.

Moody's will treat the hybrid entirely as debt until shareholders approve the EUR3 billion rights issue in the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) of 10 April 2013, since failure to complete the rights issue would lead to a step-up of 500 bps, which in Moody's view, represents a high incentive for KPN to call this instrument. Moody's expectation is that shareholder approval for the rights issue will be granted, since América Móvil, KPN's largest shareholder with a 29.8% equity stake, has already backed the rights issue. Once approval for the rights issue is granted, Moody's expects to assign some equity credit to the hybrid debt.

KPN intends to use the net proceeds from the hybrid debt issuance primarily to strengthen its capital structure by reducing net indebtedness. The EUR3 billion rights issue and proposed issuance of hybrid debt will allow KPN to reduce its leverage and improve its liquidity profile. This is in the context of a challenging operating environment in which KPN's performance will remain weak, affected by regulation, fierce competition and the weak macroeconomic environment.

The Baa2 senior unsecured rating is supported principally by KPN's leading position in the Dutch market and the benefits derived from its geographical diversification in Germany and Belgium, where the group operates as a mobile-centric market challenger. The rating also reflects KPN's expected solid liquidity profile after the successful completion of its announced rights issue and hybrid debt issuance. These considerations are balanced by (1) KPN's relatively weak metrics for the rating category, with net debt/EBITDA (as adjusted by Moody's) trending towards 3.0x through the rating horizon; (2) its track record of declining operating performance and profit warnings; and (3) its lack of financial flexibility, as it has run out of internal options to protect its financial profile.

RATING OUTLOOK

The negative outlook on the ratings reflects (1) Moody's expectation that KPN's credit metrics will be weakly positioned for the Baa2 rating for a sustained period; (2) the current lack of visibility due to the rapid deterioration in the group's operating performance; and (3) the execution risk embedded in the group's business plan. The rating assumes that the EUR3 billion rights issue and proposed hybrid debt offering will be successfully completed. Failure to execute the capital raising as planned would lead to downward pressure on the rating.

WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATING UP/DOWN

As the hybrid rating is positioned relative to another rating of KPN, either (1) a change in the senior unsecured rating of KPN or (2) a re-evaluation of its relative notching could have an impact on the hybrid rating.

Given the negative rating outlook, Moody's does not currently anticipate upward rating pressure on KPN's senior unsecured rating. However, the outlook could revert back to stable if KPN is able to stabilise its operating performance in the Dutch market and successfully implement its strategy in Germany and Belgium, while maintaining a net adjusted debt/EBITDA ratio (as adjusted by Moody's) sustainably below 3.0x and retained cash flow(RCF)/net adjusted debt in the 20%-25% range.

Conversely, downward pressure on the rating could result from any deterioration in KPN's operating performance beyond Moody's expectations for 2013. Specifically, the rating could come under negative pressure if the company's credit protection measures weaken, such that its RCF/net adjusted debt drops below 20% and its net adjusted debt/EBITDA (as adjusted by Moody's) does not trend towards 3.0x. Moody's anticipates a one-off deterioration in KPN's metrics in 2014 following the consolidation of Reggefiber, but also expects leverage ratios to improve thereafter.

Volendo investire parte del ricavato dalla recente call unicredit in un perpetual finanziario in gbp, cosa mi consigliereste?

anche a me l'unica cosa è un pò illiquida.
Avevo pensato anche all'altra Santander XS0124569566, ma il prezzo nelle vicinanze di 100 mi spaventa per un perpetuo.

Molto buona anche quella... call più lontana e post call più alto... però non riesco a trovare mercato di quotazione per fare un confronto di prezzo
