Banca Mps to play all out to be able to carry out the capital increase from 5 billion (the Ecb has imposed, without the extensions, as by 31 December), avoiding the intervention of the State. To achieve this, through this formula, which we will call "plan A", the institute siena needs the financial support of around 40 thousand small-holders who hold in the portfolio, the bond is subordinated, issued in 2008 that goes into expiration in 2018. To not have any doubts on the bond, the identification code of the product (Isin code) is the following: IT0004352586.
it Is a bond subordinated variable rate (coupon of 2.5%, indexed to the trend in the Euribor). In the early yea rs of emission (when the Euribor was running at 3-4%) has yielded coupons during the year, even in the order of 7%. In the last two years, instead, the coupon yield is collapsed given that the Euribor has become negative (up to-0.3 percent), and then instead of being added has been subtracted to the fixed part of the coupon (2,5%).
1 Why is a bond a decisive
The result of the capital increase by Banca Mps through the private solution is linked to the choice of the small bondholders – an army of about 40 thousand Italian investors – to convert this bond into new shares of Banca Mps. This bond has a value of over 2 billion euro. In the event that to be converted in full into shares an important slice of the 5 billion, of which Banca Mps is committed to find by the end of the year would be covered.
2 Convert "voluntary"
Formally, it is an optional choice. The bondholders – who have time to convert the bond into shares until the 21 December to the 14 hours – they are not in fact compelled to transform their title into action. However, talk of option may seem like an understatement. Because when you do not know the details of a possible "plan B" (the one that requires the intervention of the State, but it is not known know at the time what would be the loss to the bond holders with this formula), but about this we know only that could be worse than "plan A", it is obvious that one may tend to lean towards the "plan A", which takes on the connotation of "lesser evil".
3 The first step of the “plan A”
As the first thing to do to the bondholder that wishes to join but does not have a risk profile appropriate to the purchase of risky instruments such as stocks (as expected from the criteria of adequacy of the Mifid regulation) must sign a declaration to the bank with whom you communicate, “you have accepted the Offer of their own initiative without solicitation or the provision of ad vice by the intermediary, as well as to be informed of the non-adequacy of the operation and will, nevertheless, give the course of the accession”. It is a not just a detail, considering that it would seem that about 90% of savers who have this bond does not meet a risk profile appropriate to invest in the shares. On this point, it is due to express the Consob, which at first had "locked" the plan of conversion to small investors with a risk profile which is not adequate, unless the now to recalibrate your shot with this sort of self-certification of risk.
4 The second step of the "plan A"
After you have assumed the responsibility to buy shares (redundant step for the minority of bondholders who already responds to a profile of high risk, and then appropriate investment in shares) small bondholders subordinated Mps will be able to actually stick to the plan of conversion. The initial advantage of this plan – which makes leaving more attractive to a hypoth etical "plan B" – is that the repayment of the bonds takes place at par value of 100. Given that this bond had yesterday, with a market value of 50, it is a "prize" 50% for those who decide to convert the bond into shares. So who’s got 10 bonds to 50 (the equivalent of 500), you will find a value of 1.000 (the value of a bond goes to 100) instead of 500.
5 the third step of The "plan A"
These 1,000 euros, however, are not cash that can be used for Christmas shopping, but will become new actions to Mps. The nominal value (price) of new shares Mps is not yet known, because it will depend on how will the increase of capital. It has been established that can range from 24,9 euro to 1 euro per share (the price of the new shares will be made known only at the end of the capital increase). At that point if the hand has 10 bonds redeemed at 100, so it has a euro equivalent value of 1,000 and if the new shares will be fixed for the price of 1, you’ll en d up in the portfolio of 1,000 new shares of Banca Mps. If the price will be 10 find 100. And so on. Formally, the price therefore will affect only the quantity of shares held and the level of participation to the social capital. But not on the performance of the operation. At that point, to the small ex-bondholder and neo-shareholder in the only obstacle to overcome will be the opening of the actions of the Mps in trading on the Italian Stock exchange in the first day after the capital increase. If the shares will rise or lose value this can not know. In the event that the shares slip below the new price, the small bondholder will suffer a loss on the action, but it must be considered that having chosen the conversion into shares, the latter has already recovered 50% of the investment, given that the repayment of the bond was done at a premium of 50% (from 50 to 100 as stated). The possible loss from the action must, however, be compared to the +50% arising from the conversion of t he bond to 100.
