7 Preface Hybrid securities combine features of both debt and equity. Where exactly they are situated in the debt equity continuum is determined by their subordination, loss absorption, coupon deferral and perpetual nature. These equity-like characteristics allow them to be more loss absorbing and thus qualify as regulatory capital. This description reflects the character of hybrid financial instruments in the Basel II Capital Accord, but is not designed to meet the requirements of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital under the more recent, post-crisis, Basel III. The new generation of AT1 hybrids commonly referred to as contingent convertibles, or CoCos, embed a unique feature of contingent conversion into common equity or mandatory write-down of principal value. Contingent capital is the core of new capital accord and as such lies at the heart of this book. The problems of the market performance of CoCos and their ability to absorb loss are crucial when assessing the capital requirements of Basel III. These instruments are undergoing rapid evolution, driven by a market necessity to introduce equity-like instruments that will act as loss absorbers instead of common equity. If there were no problems with raising common equity, AT1 instruments would not play such a significant role in Basel III. The market for CoCos is growing, as a growing number of financial institutions are unable to raise the required amount of equity and have to raise their own funds by means of hybrid capital. If these problems continue, the role of hybrids may become more prominent, as they may be considered as a replacement of common equity for the purpose of the next tiers of Basel III: counter-cyclical buffers, SIFI surcharges and so on. Hence, their importance for the financial system is already established, and they have potential for further growth. Simultaneously, these relatively new instruments are just testing the market, and some problems with their pricing model remain unsolved. Deferral risk is expressed in the credit spread of AT1 instruments, but there are still no structural methods to price them precisely. This study proposes a model for doing so. Another important issue is contagion risk linked to AT1 hybrids. A hard lesson from the most recent financial crisis is that innovative financial instruments do not eliminate risk, but rather transfer it elsewhere. The complexity and interconnectedness of the credit derivatives market ix

8 x Preface has made this transfer a dangerous channel of transmitting price shocks to markets that had been considered to be diversified. It is of critical importance to assess the sensitivity of hybrid instruments to this. To date, no such assessment has yet been performed. The equity-like flexibility that hybrids offer makes them attractive also for non-financial issuers. From the rating perspective, corporate hybrids may be treated to a certain extent as equity, thus not negatively affecting leverage ratios, while, if properly structured, the interest they pay is tax-deductible. These factors, combined with investors appetite for high yields, are the main reasons behind their emergence. In this book we have set out to prove that AT1 CoCos may decrease the probability of default and lower the cost of senior debt. The capital buffer they provide is designed to absorb losses, so they should also decrease the credit risk associated with senior debt. This combination of equity-like features will serve the following purposes: (i) perpetuity of hybrid instruments ensures stable, long-term financing that is highly unlikely to be called by the issuer in times of financial stress, as such an action would require a regulator s consent; (ii) coupon deferral means that payments attached to a hybrid are obviously junior to payments on senior debt; (iii) financial stress will trigger conversion or write-down of hybrid bonds before it does any harm to holders of senior bonds, and finally (iv) on a gone concern basis, senior debt will be satisfied in the first place. Therefore, holders of senior debt will bear a lower risk than before the introduction of a hybrid into the issuers balance sheet. This fact should be mirrored by (i) an increase of the senior debt market price right after the issue of hybrids is announced to the public and (ii) a decrease in the senior debt credit spread. There is still a room for the modernization of AT1 hybrids, and for the proposal of some alternative hybrid instruments. One idea is to replace the regulatory capital trigger event of contingent conversion with a market-oriented trigger. This and other proposals are a consequent element of CoCos evolution that adopts various elements of preceding hybrids: Basel II hybrids, conventional convertibles, but also so-called catastrophic bonds developed by the insurance industry. When it comes to CoCos themselves, the convertibles into equity (issued by Lloyd s of London) were the actual pioneers and the principal write-down structure was developed later by Rabobank. In the meantime, while the Basel regulator was assessing the eligibility of CoCos for tier capital structure purposes, many different structures were proposed. This means that AT1 hybrid financial instruments are not artificial instruments designed entirely by the Basel regulator: the globally applied Basel III framework

9 Preface xi is used in financial engineering to structure AT1 hybrids for prudential capital requirements. This also means that observations of AT1 hybrids market performance may give rise to modernization proposals and functional merits will be crucial when assessing these instruments. Directly applicable Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) has introduced CoCos, among other AT1 instruments, to legal systems of all EU member states. It must be remembered that CRR contingent conversion/ write-down provisions and bail-in provisions of the newly introduced Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) do overlap. That brings confusion about conversion mechanisms and points of non-viability. When compared to traditional company law, which is heavily shaped by EU Directives, CoCos bring an abrupt turn away from the principle of shareholders pre-emptive right to subscribe to new shares issued by a company. Until CRR and EU Second Capital Directive, this right was considered to be essential for the corporate structure as a tool to protect shareholders against dilution of their rights. Any provision of a company s statutes that would aim to exclude this right was forbidden. There should be little doubt that contingent conversion results in dilution of control. This fact raise essential questions: (i) on the relation between pre-emptive rights and issuance of CE CoCos, (ii) whether admission of CE CoCos to trading on an EEA regular market has the same consequences as admission of shares and conventional convertible bonds to such trading and, more generally, (iii) to what extent the corporate structure of financial institutions is unique when compared to a typical joint-stock company, as it is shaped by lex specialis. The complex nature of hybrid instruments calls for a high degree of investor protection. Low yields elsewhere encourage new investors to buy hybrids; it was the same with CDOs a decade ago. Then the question arises as to whether all investors are able to properly assess or manage the risks involved. First and foremost, these doubts regard retail clients. Uncertain loss-absorption hierarchy and complex conversion or coupon cancelation mechanisms may pose a risk beyond individuals assessment capabilities.
