Co-operative Bank sets 9% minimum yield for exchange notes due 2021
By Angela McDaniels
Tacoma, Wash., April 15 - Co-operative Bank plc said the new issue yield will be at least 9% for the notes to be issued in the exchange offer for its €184,154,000 of outstanding floating-rate callable step-up dated subordinated notes due 2016.
The company is offering fixed-rate subordinated notes due April 28, 2021 denominated in pounds sterling.
The new issue yield will no longer be calculated by reference to the new issue spread and the reference rate. Instead, it will be set to provide a yield to maturity that is 9% or more. The new issue price will be par.
The bank may issue additional new notes for cash.
The amount of new notes to be issued in exchange for each existing note will be calculated by reference to (a) par, (b) the exchange ratio - calculated by dividing the exchange price by the new issue price - and (d) the foreign exchange rate.
The bank will also pay noteholders accrued interest and a cash rounding amount if applicable.
To participate in the exchange offer, noteholders must tender enough notes to result in the issuance of at least £100,000 principal amount of new notes.
The offer will expire at noon ET on April 19.
The existing notes are redeemable on May 18, but the Manchester, England-based bank said it does not intend to exercise this call option.
The offer is not being made in the United States.
