The agreement in principle announced today by the EC on HSH
Nordbank goes a long way to meeting the objectives which the
institution has been pursuing and looks to be in line with what we
outlined in our recent Getting Closer To The Finish Line, published
October 1, 2015. As such HSH Nordbank will see the risk shelter
reinstated back to €10bn which was the initial objective of the EC
investigation. As part of the agreement in principle, HSH will be split
into an OpCo and a HoldCo, with the purpose that the OpCo can then be
privatized within a 24-month time horizon from the binding decision
from the EC, which is expected to be in the first half of 2016. This
implies effectively that the sale process of the OpCo has to happen up
until the first half of 2018, which would be effectively beyond the
maturity of the Tier II instruments. We reiterate our Overweight
recommendation on the Tier II instruments.
