  • Subnational Debt of China: the Politics-Finance Nexus*
    Subnational Debt of China: The Politics-Finance Nexus* HAOYU GAO, HONG RU and DRAGON YONGJUN TANG September 12, 2017 Abstract Using comprehensive proprietary loan-level data, we analyze the borrowing and defaults of local governments in China. Contrary to conventional wisdom, policy bank loans to local governments have significantly lower default rates than commercial bank loans with similar characteristics. Policy bank loans are relatively more important for local politician’s career advancement. Distressed local governments often strategically choose to default on loans from commercial banks. This selection is more pronounced after the abrupt ending of the “four trillion” stimulus when China started tightening local government borrowing. Our findings shed light on potential approach to hardening budget constraint for local government.

  • Convertible Financing Bonds As Backdoor Equity
    Journal of Financial Economics 32 (1992) 3-21. North-Holland Convertible bonds as backdoor equity financing Jeremy C. Stein* Massachusetts Insrirure of Technology. Cambridge, .MA 021.59. LISA Received September 1991, final version received March 1992 This paper argues that corporations may use convertible bonds as an indirect way to get equity into their capital structures when adverse-selection problems make a conventional stock issue unattrac- tive. Unlike other theories of convertible bond issuance. the model here highlights: 1) the importance of call provisions on convertibles and 2) the significance of costs of financial distress to the information content of a convertible issue. 1. Introduction Convertible bonds are an important source of financing for many corpora- tions. According to data presented in Essig (1991), more than 10% of all COMPUSTAT companies had ratios of convertible debt to total debt exceeding 33% during the period 1963-1984. A good deal of research effort has been devoted to developing pricing models for convertibles,’ as well as to the issues surrounding corporations’ policies for calling them.2 Somewhat less work has addressed the fundamental question of why companies issue convertibles in the first place. This paper develops a rationale for the use of convertible debt. I argue that companies may use convertible bonds to get equity into their capital structures Correspondence to: Jeremy C.

  • The Importance of the Capital Structure in Credit Investments: Why Being at the Top (In Loans) Is a Better Risk Position
    Understanding the importance of the capital structure in credit investments: Why being at the top (in loans) is a better risk position Before making any investment decision, whether it’s in equity, fixed income or property it’s important to consider whether you are adequately compensated for the risks you are taking. Understanding where your investment sits in the capital structure will help you recognise the potential downside that could result in permanent loss of capital. Within a typical business there are various financing securities used to fund existing operations and growth. Most companies will use a combination of both debt and equity. The debt may come in different forms including senior secured loans and unsecured bonds, while equity typically comes as preference or ordinary shares. The exact combination of these instruments forms the company’s “capital structure”, and is usually designed to suit the underlying cash flows and assets of the business as well as investor and management risk appetites. The most fundamental aspect for debt investors in any capital structure is seniority and security in the capital structure which is reflected in the level of leverage and impacts the amount an investor should recover if a company fails to meet its financial obligations. Seniority refers to where an instrument ranks in priority of payment. Creditors (debt holders) normally have a legal right to be paid both interest and principal in priority to shareholders. Amongst creditors, “senior” creditors will be paid in priority to “junior” creditors. Security refers to a creditor’s right to take a “mortgage” or “lien” over property and other assets of a company in a default scenario.

  • Note on Intercreditor Priority How Subordination and Security Affect Credit Structure
    Note on Intercreditor Priority How subordination and security affect credit structure The Basics of Priority A company in financial distress may not have enough cash or other assets to satisfy all of its creditors. Creditors are not necessarily treated equally in this situation; some may be repaid fully in cash, others may receive new debt or equity securities in satisfaction of their claims, and others may receive nothing at all. Intercreditor priority is the order in which creditors’ claims are satisfied using a company’s cash and other assets in times of distress, such as a corporate liquidation or reorganization. Chart 1: Intercreditor priority ��������������� � ���������������� �������������������� �� �������� �������������������� ��������������� ������������ �������� Note: Senior debt can be structured as loans or bonds, senior subordinated debt is typically high yield bonds, and junior subordinated debt is often referred to as mezzanine finance. The methods for establishing intercreditor priority are generally determined by the laws of the states and countries in which a company operates or has assets. Bankrupt- cy laws and laws surrounding the pledging of collateral vary from country to country or even within countries. Given this variation, it is important to obtain legal advice when executing or evaluating transactions involving different classes of creditors. ©2005 FINANCIAL TRAINING PARTNERS www.fintrain.com 1 Though the intricacies of the law may differ by jurisdiction, generally there are five methods used to establish or determine priority. Contractual Subordination This requires a subordination agreement between a company and one or more of its creditors. Structural Subordination This is done through the company’s legal organization; it typically involves a holding company and operating subsidiaries, and the appropriate placement of debt within that structure.

  • The Financial Channels of Labor Rigidities: Evidence from Portugal∗
    The Financial Channels of Labor Rigidities: Evidence from Portugal∗ Edoardo M. Acabbi Harvard University JOB MARKET PAPER Ettore Panetti Banco de Portugal, CRENoS, UECE-REM and Suerf Alessandro Sforza University of Bologna and CESifo January 29, 2020 MOST RECENT VERSION Abstract How do credit shocks affect labor market reallocation and firms’ exit, and how doestheir propagation depend on labor rigidities at the firm level? To answer these questions, we match administrative data on worker, firms, banks and credit relationships in Portugal, and conduct an event study of the interbank market freeze at the end of 2008. Consistent with other empirical literature, we provide novel evidence that the credit shock had significant effects on employment and assets dynamics and firms’ survival. These findings areentirely driven by the interaction of the credit shock with labor market frictions, determined by rigidities in labor costs and exposure to working-capital financing, which we label “labor-as- leverage” and “labor-as-investment” financial channels. The credit shock explains about 29 percent of the employment loss among large Portuguese firms between 2008 and 2013, and contributes to productivity losses due to increased labor misallocation. ∗Edoardo M.

  • Global Senior Secured Bonds
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS GLOBAL SENIOR SECURED BONDS GLOBAL SENIOR SECURED BONDS OFFER CAPITAL STRUCTURE SENIORITY WHAT ARE SENIOR SECURED BONDS? SENIOR DEFINITION OF “SENIOR” AND “SECURED”? A bond is a debt obligation sold to investors. If a corporation defaults on its obligations, it can be forced into bankruptcy liquidation, in which case its assets are sold off to repay its debts. Debts are repaid in a prescribed order of priority. “Senior” debt comes first, SENIOR SECURED ahead of junior, or subordinated, debt. If a bond is LOANS / BONDS classified as “secured”, it is backed by issuer collateral, or some form of assets. As such, in the event that a company defaults, a secured bond may have a higher recovery rate of the amount invested than an unsecured bond (see page 3 for details). FOR SENIORITY, WHAT ARE “FIRST LIEN” AND “SECOND LIEN”? While both first lien and second lien bonds are forms of senior debt, second lien bonds are second in priority to HIGH YIELD first lien bonds when it comes to repayment in the case BONDS of bankruptcy or default. ARE THESE BONDS USUALLY “SENIOR AND SECURED” OR “SENIOR OR SECURED”? The term senior secured means that a bond is both senior and secured in its structure. A bond can also be senior but unsecured, meaning there is no specific collateral guaranteeing the bond. EQUITY ARE THE ISSUERS OF SENIOR SECURED HIGH YIELD BONDS SMALLER AND UNKNOWN NAMES? SUBORDINATE Not necessarily. Some of the most recognizable brands and leaders within their respective industries have senior secured bond facilities outstanding, such as Burger King, Hertz, Bausch Health Companies and FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY.

  • Seniority of Sovereign Debts
    07--Ch. 7--249-288 8/12/04 11:25 AM Page 249 7 Seniority of Sovereign Debts A formal insolvency regime typically sets out, in general terms, how dif- ferent types of claims on a distressed private firm will be treated in a re- structuring and the order of payment in the event of outright liquidation. Bankruptcy law usually indicates that equity is junior to debt: Debt gets paid first, and if debt cannot be paid, debtholders may take control of the firm. Back taxes get paid ahead of most private debts. Different kinds of debts may have different levels of priority—for example, debts backed by collateral are treated better than unsecured debts. These rules tell a firm’s creditors where their claims stand in the pecking order. In contrast, no formal rules of priority lay out how different types of claims on a distressed sovereign will be treated. Nor does a court have the power to force a sovereign government to respect any rules of priority.1 The difficulties of taking effective legal action against a sovereign—dis- cussed in depth in chapter 8—can give the sovereign the ability to dis- criminate in favor of some classes of claims. Different creditors will argue that their claims should be given priority. As a result, the relative stand- ing of various claims on a sovereign government is often ambiguous. The priority that the sovereign opts to grant different types of debt may not match creditors’ prior expectations. 1. In some countries, certain public entities are subject to an insolvency regime.
