  • Financial institutions in Europe and the US are considering a range of products to address their funding needs. It’s a difficult task, as it’s still not known which products will receive beneficial regulatory capital treatment. National regulators also have provided guidance on additional or so-called buffer capital, as well as contingent capital products.

    European banks have recently issued contingent capital products – or CoCos – and we expect additional offerings to be forthcoming. These issuances face an uncertain regulatory framework, and evolving market practice. This webinar will discuss these considerations, focusing on:

    · Basel III guidance and status of implementation;
    · Bail-in capital, including national guidance;
    · Contingent capital products and structures;
    · Market experience;
    · Tax, ratings, corporate governance and other considerations relating to contingent capital; and
    · Investor perspective.

    Speakers:
    · Anna Pinedo, Morrison & Foerster
    · Tom Humphreys, Morrison & Foerster
    · Anthony Ragozino, UBS
    · Danielle Myles, IFLR (moderator)
