Financing and liability management developments

IFLR, Morrison & Foerster, HSBC
Financial regulatory reform legislation requires Federal banking agencies to establish minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements. The legislation will effect a number of important changes for insured depository institutions and bank holding companies.

Financial institutions also are evaluating the impact of the proposed Basel III framework on regulatory capital requirements. These changes will affect funding costs for financial institutions going forward. Banks should begin planning now and will be required to consider a number of alternatives.

Topics will include:
•changes effected by legislation, including minimum leverage capital and risk-based capital requirements;
•the Basel III process;
•a review of hybrid securities (tax characteristics, legal form, ratings treatment);
•effect of Dodd-Frank and Basel III on certain instruments, like trust preferred securities and other innovative hybrids;
•contingent capital;
•effect of these developments on ratings for financial institutions;
•addressing outstanding hybrid securities;
•tax considerations; and
•consent solicitations, remarketings and exchange offers and other liability management options.

  • New bank capital rules: are CoCos the answer? Recorded: Apr 17 2013 90 mins
    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.

    · Anna Pinedo, Morrison & Foerster
    · Tom Humphreys, Morrison & Foerster

    • Setting up a Rule 144A or bank note programme for straight debt

    By now many have heard of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and its impact on the US and international capital markets. The FATCA provisions, which will be phased in beginning on January 1 2014 could dramatically alter the way US corporations raise funds abroad, the way non-US financial institutions are forced to comply with US tax law, as well as the way many foreign investors invest in US securities.

    The FATCA 30% tax on "withholdable payments" such as interest, dividends, and securities sales proceeds beginning January 1 2014 and on "passthru payments" beginning January 1 2017; and,
