2-3. Non-financial Companies:Abenomics to Boost Utilization Third arrow of Abenomics requires ROE improvement at companies Adjustment to debt/capital structure (recapitalization) is financial strategy to improve ROE Some firms (e.g., Softbank) started to utilize subordinated bonds to improve debt structure
Utilization to adjust debt/capital structure (ROE improvement)
Utilization to improve debt structure (improvement in creditworthiness of senior debt )
Utilization of subordinated bonds with equity content
Utilization of subordinated bonds as mezzanine fundraising
While implementing share buybacks,
① Recapitalization via senior debt ② Recapitalization via CB ③Recapitalization via subordinated bonds(adjustment to debt/capital structure)
ROE should rise Rise in ROE Simple rise but CB conversion to shares No increase in real D/E ratio in ROE may lower ROE as some subordinated bonds
are assessed as equity content

Basel III-compliant Tier 2 Subordinated Bonds(B3T2)
Timing to exercise bail-in clauses limited to insolvency cases Previously, it was concerned that bail-in clauses would be implemented in stage far prior to bankruptcy. But,
subordinated bondholders’ risk of incurring losses diminished substantially
Due to revision to capital adequacy ratio at domestically operating banks, risk weighting of B3T2 lifted from 100% (for Basel II-compliant subordinated bonds) to 250%
Granting of clauses to absorb losses (principal reduction) from subordinated bonds in case of de-facto failure of issuers
Bank holding companies become issuers (due to partial de-recognition of conventional subordinated bonds issued by bank subsidiaries*) * Due to treatment of adjusted minority interest associated with Tier2 capital (Basel III).
Point ① Differences with conventional (Basel II) subordinated bonds are (1) granting of principal reduction clausesand (2) issuance by bank holding companies
Point ② Timing to implement bail-in clauses limited to insolvency cases (in case of Japan)
Point ③ Japanese rating agencies assign A-category ratings to major Japanese financial groups (BBB-category ratings by foreign agencies)
JCR and R&I assigned A-category ratings to B3T2 issued by three major banks and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings
Point ④ Conventional major investors (domestic financial institutions) to hesitate to invest in B3T2
Increase in risk factors to be considered
Virtual risk changed little
Rating agencies also support
aforementioned opinion
Narrower investor base to serve as chance

Losses (principal reduction, conversion to common shares) occur when CET1 ratio is 5.125% and lower
Point ② Uncertainty on maturity date
Callable perpetual bonds but step-ups not approved
Point ③ Full discretion for coupon payment
Non-cumulative coupons, issuer has full discretion on coupon payment
Point ④ Loss absorbency at point of non-viability
Similar to B3T2

【Reference】 Mega Financial Groups to Issue Senior Debt to Cope with TLAC
G-SIBs (three mega financial groups) need to cope with TLAC, in addition to compliance to Base III Purpose is to have sufficient loss absorbency and avoid usage of public funds in worst case of bankruptcy procedures They need to issue certain amount of TLAC-eligible debt (TLAC ratio of 16-20%?) In case of Japan, senior debt issued by financial holding companies can be recognized as TLAC-eligible debt
Breakdown of Capital Adequacy Ratio at Japanese Mega Financial Groups (end-FY14 transitional arrangements) and Estimates for TLAC Requirements
Source: Company materials; compiled by Daiwa Securities.Note: Capital conservation buffer (2.5%) cannot be included in TLAC, but we assume corresponding amount can be included given deposit insurance system in Japan. As G-SIB surcharge cannot be included in TLAC, we deducted 1.5% for MUFG and 1% each for SMFG and Mizuho FG. Required TLAC ratio assumed at 18%, midpoint of proposed 16-20% range.
MUFG: Slightly above Y4tnMizuho FG: Slightly below Y3tnSMFG: Y1.5tn

Final maturity tend to be long, but effective maturity shortened by granting callable clauses
Due to regulation/rating requirements, final maturity tends to be long However, issuers shorten effective maturity by granting product feature of callable clauses available when five/ten years pass after issuance Granted stepped-up interest rate indicates probability of issuer exercising call※In case of banks’ bonds, granting of stepped-up interest rates (which indicate probability of issuer exercising call) not allowed under Basel III, which is major difference
Insurers’ subordinated bonds
Banks’ subordinated bonds (Basel III-compliant)
※When residual maturity becomes shorter than five years, amount that can be included in capital declines, which serves as incentive for issuer to exercise call provision

Insurers’ Subordinated Bonds
Point ① Terms tend to be super long with callable clauses
Because issuers need to consider capital requirements in terms of rating, not limited to requirements for regulatory capital(= solvency margin ratio regulations)
Point ② Redemption risk:Period until first call date can be regarded as effective redemption period
Unlike banks’ capital securities, insurers can indicate probability of call by granting stepped-up interest rates
Point ③ Risk of suspension of interest payment: Low probability of discretionary/compulsory suspension of interest payment
Due to rating requirements, clauses for discretionary/compulsory suspension of interest payment could be granted. However, discretionary suspension is like “nuclear button.” Given current business conditions of domestic insurers, risk of compulsory suspension (such as solvency margin ratio less than 200%) limited.
Point ④ Mechanical rating methodology
Two notches down (vs. issuer rating) general, resulting from one notch down due to subordination in collection and one notch down caused by risk of deferral of interest payment
Seemingly unattractive investment targets, but practical risks not so high Carrying high yields in proportion to inferior marketability and liquidity; attractive amid low-interest rate and tight-spread environment
Point ⑤ Substantially factoring in credit enhancement via gov’t support is risk
Revision to Deposit Insurance Act enabled preemptive capital injection to insurers. However, we should think that it is possible only in the case of serious market collapse such as Lehman crisis. As witnessed by past bankruptcies of life insurers (Chiyoda, Kyoei, Tokyo, Yamato), gov’t unlikely to support firms’ failed management.

Japanese firms (banks, insurers, non-financial firms) watching for further utilization/issuance of capital securities
First, they will likely plan to issue yen-denominated bonds. However, issuance of USD-denominated bonds also expected in the case of (1) limited domestic demand and/or (2) overseas market being more attractive.
