Some years ago, a few clever members of our corporate and finance departments in the US created the first Book of Jargon, a glossary of corporate and bank finance slang and terminology. Intended to offer a sort of crash course for recent law and business school graduates navigating Wall Street, the book also served as a desktop reference for not-so-recent graduates. Following fast on the heels of the US book, The European Book of Jargon helped those of us on this side of the pond in the same ways. This Second Edition decodes the new slang, the timeless terminology and the downright confusing phrases used in European capital markets, corporate and bank finance deals and their restructurings. We hope the quick and occasionally clever explanations contribute to your success. The Book of Jargon®: European Capital Markets and Bank Finance is one of a series of practice area-specific glossaries published by Latham & Watkins. The definitions contained inThe Book of Jargon® are designed to provide an introduction to the applicable terms. The terms included herein raise complex legal issues on which specific legal advice will be required. The terms are also subject to change as applicable laws and customary practice evolve. As a general matter, The European Book of Jargon is (as the name suggests) drafted from a European practice perspective but we confess to having liberally plagiarized where applicable from the original Book of Jargon. The information contained herein should not be construed as legal advice. If you have suggestions for additional terms or expanded or clarified definitions for the current terms, please send an email to [email protected].

This is “magic” language based on Rule 10b-5. 135 Day Rule: relevant to the Financial Statements of the Issuer in Capital Market deals. SAS 72 permits an accounting firm to give Negative Assurance that it is unaware of certain specified changes in financial statement amounts up to a date that is less than 135 days from the end of the most recent period for which the accounting firm has performed an audit or review. Accounting firms will not give such Negative Assurance post 135 days from the end of the most recent reviewed or audited period (even for Reg S Only deals). 135(c) Release: press release announcing the commencement of a private offering by a company subject to the reporting requirements of the US Exchange Act (and certain non-reporting Foreign Private Issuers) in reliance on the Safe Harbour provided by Rule 135(c). Rule 135(c) provides that the Issuer will not be deemed to make an offer of Securities under Section 5(c) if it issues a notice of a proposed or completed unregistered offering in the United States that complies with this rule. See 135(e) Release. 135(e) Release: press release announcing the commencement of a private offering by a company subject to the reporting requirements of the US Exchange Act (and certain non-reporting Foreign Private Issuers) in reliance on the Safe Harbour provided by Rule 135(e). Similar to Rule 135(c), Rule 135(e) provides the Issuer will not be deemed to make an offer of Securities under Section 5(e) if the Issuer issues a notice of a proposed or completed unregistered offering, but the notice may contain other information, such as the names of the Initial Purchasers, Managers or Underwriters. The 135(e) Release may not be circulated in the United States. 144A for Life Offering: a Rule 144A Offering that does not provide Registration Rights for the buyers of the Securities. Accordingly, the Issuer in a 144A for Life Offering is not required to become a Reporting Company under the US Exchange Act. Securities offerings in Europe do not typically include any Registration Rights. 2 2.7: used in the context of P2Ps and shorthand for the announcement required by Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code, which is an announcement of a firm intention to make a takeover offer. It is very difficult to avoid making a bid once the 2.7 has been made. Also referred to as the Press Announcement. 21 Day Rule: a German Insolvency rule that also translates into English as “everybody panic”. Management of a German company must file for Insolvency no later than three weeks after the company becomes insolvent and will face criminal sanctions and personal liability if they fail to do so. Often, companies can find ways to address the state of Insolvency in a restructuring and thus avoid the need to file. Not to be confused with Day 21. 3(a)(9): an offer to exchange new debt or Equity Securities for an Issuer’s outstanding debt or Equity Securities, which offer is exempt from registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the US Securities Act. 3(a)(9) provides an exemption for “any security exchanged by the Issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange” and requires that: (i) the Issuer of both the exchanged Securities and the surrendered Securities be identical, (ii) the transaction be a bona fide exchange where the Security holder does not part with anything of value other than the outstanding Securities, (iii) the Securities acquired in the exchange be offered exclusively to the Issuer’s existing Security holders and (iv) the Issuer does not pay any remuneration for the solicitation of the exchange. 5 bis Communication: a Spanish pre-Insolvency tool whereby the debtor gains an additional three-month period to achieve an agreement with its creditors and one further month to file for Insolvency. In addition, creditors’ applications to file for Insolvency during that period will not be accepted and, generally speaking, enforcement actions will be stayed. “A” Loan: another name for a Facility A Loan. AAIP: Agreement Among Initial Purchasers. AAOIFI: Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions. AAOIFI performs a review of developments in the Islamic finance sector and issues guidance papers. AAU: the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions, an international and autonomous not-for-profit Organisation based in Bahrain that prepares accounting, auditing, governance, ethics and Shari’ah standards for Islamic financial institutions. Also, in Capital Markets it is an acronym for Agreement Among Underwriters ABL: Asset-Based Loan. ABO: Accelerated Bookbuild Offering. 3 ABS: Asset-Backed Security. Absolute Priority Rule: a term primarily used in US Bankruptcy law. This rule states that when a company is liquidated or reorganised, senior classes of claims and Equity interests must receive full distributions on account of their claims or Equity interests before junior classes may receive any distributions, unless the senior classes consent otherwise. Accelerated Bookbuild Offering: an offering on the Equity Capital Markets that involves the offering of shares in a short span of time, usually in one or two days, with minimal or no marketing. Acceleration: the end of the line in Bond and loan world. Following an Event of Default, the Bondholders (in accordance with the Terms and Conditions or the Indenture) or Lenders (in accordance with the terms of a Facility Agreement) have the right to, among other things, “accelerate” the Due Date of their debts; in other words, they have the right to declare their Bonds or loans immediately due and payable. Note that the practice in the US and Canada (and in European Indentures or Terms and Conditions) is for Insolvency Event of Default to lead automatically to Acceleration, although this is uncommon in European bank financings, which typically require a direction to the agent by Lenders holding two- thirds or more of the outstanding debt. Note that Acceleration can lead to an obligation on the officers of the Issuer/Borrower to file for Insolvency, thereby precluding the ability to agree to a consensual out-of-court restructuring. See also Place on Demand. Accordion Feature: an Incremental Facility that allows the Borrower to increase the maximum commitment amount under a Revolver or to incur additional Term Loan debt under the Facility Agreement.

  • Are Accruals During Initial Public Offerings Opportunistic?
    Review of Accounting Studies, 3, 175–208 (1998) c 1998 Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston. Manufactured in The Netherlands. Are Accruals during Initial Public Offerings Opportunistic? SIEW HONG TEOH [email protected] University of Michigan Business School, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1234 T. J. WONG Hong Kong University of Science and Technology GITA R. RAO Colonial Management Associates Abstract. We find evidence that initial public offering (IPO) firms, on average, have high positive issue-year earnings and abnormal accruals, followed by poor long-run earnings and negative abnormal accruals. The IPO- year abnormal, and not expected, accruals explain the cross-sectional variation in post-issue earnings and stock returns. The results are robust with respect to alternative abnormal accruals and earnings performance measures. IPO firms adopt more income-increasing depreciation policies when they deviate from similar prior performance same industry non-issuers, and they provide significantly less for uncollectible accounts receivable than their matched non-issuers. The results taken together suggest opportunistic earnings management partially explains the new issues anomaly. Accrual accounting provides managers with discretion in the reporting of earnings. This allows financial reports to reflect managerial information about underlying economic con- ditions more accurately than is possible with a strictly mechanical reporting rule. However, if in some circumstances managers wish to mislead investors, discretion provides greater scope for obscuring true underlying firm performance. The incentives to manage earnings may be especially strong when the firm is planning to sell shares to the market, as in an initial public offering (IPO). IPOs are a major corporate event as evidenced by the size of the IPO market.

  • In Search of Distress Risk
    THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE • VOL. LXIII, NO. 6 • DECEMBER 2008 In Search of Distress Risk JOHN Y. CAMPBELL, JENS HILSCHER, and JAN SZILAGYI∗ ABSTRACT This paper explores the determinants of corporate failure and the pricing of financially distressed stocks whose failure probability, estimated from a dynamic logit model using accounting and market variables, is high. Since 1981, financially distressed stocks have delivered anomalously low returns. They have lower returns but much higher standard deviations, market betas, and loadings on value and small-cap risk factors than stocks with low failure risk. These patterns are more pronounced for stocks with possible informational or arbitrage-related frictions. They are inconsistent with the conjecture that the value and size effects are compensation for the risk of financial distress. THE CONCEPT OF FINANCIAL DISTRESS has been invoked in the asset pricing lit- erature to explain otherwise anomalous patterns in the cross-section of stock returns (Chan and Chen (1991) and Fama and French (1996)). The idea is that certain companies have an elevated probability that they will fail to meet their financial obligations; the stocks of these financially distressed companies tend to move together, so their risk cannot be diversified away; and investors charge a premium for bearing such risk.1 The premium for distress risk may not be cap- tured by the standard Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) if corporate failures ∗ John Y.

  • Risk & Reward in Aircraft Backed Finance
    Modeling Aircraft Loan & Lease Portfolios 3rd revision Discussion Notes October 2017 Modeling Aircraft Loans & Leases Discussion notes December 2013 2 PK AirFinance is a sub-business of GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS). The company provides and arranges debt to airlines and investors secured by commercial aircraft. Cover picture by Serge Michels, Luxembourg. 3 Preface These discussion notes are a further update to notes that I prepared in 2010 and revised in 2013. The issues discussed here are ones that we have pondered over the last 25 years, trying to model aircraft loans and leases quantitatively. In 1993, Jan Melgaard (then at PK) and I worked with Bo Persson in Sweden to develop an analytic model of aircraft loans that we called SAFE. This model evolved into a Monte Carlo simulation tool, Lending EDGE, that was taken into operation at PK in 2012 and validated under ISRS 4400 by Deloitte in 2013. I have now made some corrections and amendments to the previous version, based on helpful feed-back from industry practitioners and academics. I have added a section on Prepayment Risk in loans and expanded on Jurisdiction Risk. My work at PK AirFinance has taught me a lot about risks and rewards in aircraft finance, not least from the deep experience and insight of many valued customers and my co-workers here at PK and at GECAS, our parent company, but the views and opinions expressed herein are my own, and do not necessarily represent those of the General Electric Company or its subsidiaries. In preparing these notes, I have been helped by several people with whom I have had many inspiring discussions.

  • Fairness Opinions Under Fire by Bret A
    Fairness Opinions Under Fire By Bret A. Tack Los Angeles Office A renewed market for mergers and acquisitions (and growing value of the deals) is focusing fresh attention on the fairness opinions boards seek before approval. In our post-scandal business environment, the problems with fairness opinions, including conflicts of interest and potential manipulation, have drawn new criticism. How can boards assure the "fairness" of their fairness opinions. As the value of transactions requiring fairness opinions has surged, they have come under increased scrutiny because of systemic problems that undermine their credibility. The perception among many in the investment community is that fairness opinions are of dubious value as an independent assessment of whether a transaction is fair. Their only real purpose, it seems, is to protect fiduciaries in the event of a lawsuit. Concerns over fairness opinions have attracted the attention of regulatory bodies such as the NASD, the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. The potential conflict of provider "success fees" is only one problem with fairness opinions. In truth, there are no coherent guidelines used by fairness opinion providers. Foremost on the regulators' list of concerns is the obvious conflict of interest that exists when the firm issuing the fairness opinion stands to earn a "success fee" upon consummation of the transaction. However, such conflicts are only one of the factors undermining fairness opinions. The most basic problem is that there is no coherent set of guidelines for fairness opinion providers to follow in assessing and demonstrating the financial fairness of a transaction.

  • Dealing with Secured Lenders1
    CHAPTER TWO Dealing with Secured Lenders1 David Hillman2 Mark Shinderman3 Aaron Wernick4 With investors continuing to pursue higher yields, the market for secured debt has experienced a resurgence since the depth of the fi nancial crisis of 2008. For borrowers, the lenders’ willingness to make these loans has translated to increased liquidity and access to capital for numerous purposes, including (i) providing working capital and funding for general corporate purposes; (ii) funding an acquisition-related transaction or a recapitalization of a company’s balance sheet; or (iii) refi nancing a borrower’s existing debt. The increased debt loads may lead to fi nancial distress when a borrower’s business sags, at which point management will typically turn to its secured lenders to begin negotiations on the restructuring of the business’s debt. Consequently, the secured lenders usually take the most active role in monitoring the credit and responding to problems when they fi rst arise. Secured loans come in many different forms and are offered from a range of different investors. The common feature for secured debt is the existence of a lien on all or a portion of the borrower’s assets. Following is a brief overview of the common types of secured lending: Asset-Based Loans. The traditional loan market consisted of an asset based lender (traditionally a bank or commercial fi nancing institution) providing revolving loans, term loans, and letters of credit secured by a fi rst priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and 1.

  • Convertible Bond Investing Brochure (PDF)
    Convertible bond investing Invesco’s Convertible Securities Strategy 1 Introduction to convertible bonds A primer Convertible securities provide investors the opportunity to participate in the upside of stock markets while also offering potential downside protection. Because convertibles possess both stock- and bond-like attributes, they may be particularly useful in minimizing risk in a portfolio. The following is an introduction to convertibles, how they exhibit characteristics of both stocks and bonds, and where convertibles may fit in a diversified portfolio. Reasons for investing in convertibles Through their combination of stock and bond characteristics, convertibles may offer the following potential advantages over traditional stock and bond instruments: • Yield advantage over stocks • More exposure to market gains than market losses • Historically attractive risk-adjusted returns • Better risk-return profile • Lower interest rate risk Introduction to convertibles A convertible bond is a corporate bond that has the added feature of being convertible into a fixed number of shares of common stock. As a hybrid security, convertibles have the potential to offer equity-like returns due to their stock component with potentially less volatility due to their bond-like features. Convertibles are also higher in the capital structure than common stock, which means that companies must fulfill their obligations to convertible bondholders before stockholders. It is important to note that convertibles are subject to interest rate and credit risks that are applicable to traditional bonds. Simplified convertible structure Bond Call option Convertible Source: BofA Merrill Lynch Convertible Research. The bond feature of these securities comes from their stated interest rate and claim to principal.
