T2[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Capital distinction between Lower Tier 2 and Upper Tier 2 will disappear under new capital requirements based on CRR / CRD IV. New style T2 must have a 5Y non-call period. No CoCo structure nor explicit point of non viability required, given exposure to bail-in under the new European Banks Recovery and Resolution (EBRR) Directive. No dividend pusher/stopper structure allowed. Old style Tier 2 will be grandfathered.
High incentive to call for issuers with lower exposure of senior debt to bail-in-able liabilities; high coupon; large discount to nominal value.
Overall, given higher protection from write-down, we prefer T2 investments to CoCos, especially for Barclays.
[/FONT][/FONT]T1[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]New style T1 bonds are perpetual, with full discretion on coupon payment; low trigger write-down or equity conversion mechanism; minimum 5yr non-call period. No step-up or dividend pusher/stopper mechanisms are allowed. Domestic regulators can demand extra or higher triggers.
Old style T1 not compliant with new capital requirements will be grandfathered and lose their capital contribution at a pace of 10% a year (this is calculated on the total stock of T1, as opposed to the individual bond).
Issuers have in our view an incentive to meet their own capital requirements with additional Tier I instruments as opposed to common equity, given that common equity required to meet combined buffer requirements must not have been utilised to build their own capital requirements. In other words, the larger banks’ liability structure will move toward the following: CET1/RWA = 10% (including minimum CET1 4.5% + capital conservation buffer 2.5% + Sifi requirement 2%); AT1/RWA = 5%. Overall (CET1 + AT1) / RWA = 15%.
We see the AT1 issuance potential being €450bn given RWA aggregate of €9tn for our coverage universe.
