in tema di deferral e loss absorption:
HSH Nordbank, the 'landesbank' for northern Germany (85%-owned by the city of Hamburg and the regional government of Schleswig-Holstein) registered a loss in 2012. The bank has announced that it also forecasts losses (under German accounting standards) in the parent company accounts for financial years 2013 and 2014.
Since coupon payments depend on the parent company's results, HSH Nordbank does not expect to resume coupon payments on its Tier 1 notes before 30 June 2018. The principal on these notes has already been written down to 73% and now the bank estimates that the Tier 1 notes will be subject to further haircuts, reducing their book value to 63% of nominal.
HSH Nordbank plans to use the profits expected as of 2015 and up until 2017 to reconstitute the principal of the impaired Tier 1 notes. After that, in June 2018, the bank will resume coupon payments.
These actions concern the following notes:
- Reparcs Funding I Ltd (ISIN: XS0159207850)
- Reparcs Funding II Ltd (ISIN: DE0009842542)
- HSH Funding I (ISIN: XS0142391894), and
- HSH Funding II (ISIN: XS021141400).
