This study therefore contains occasionally verbatim passages from the earlier published study. Finpolconsult – Bank Capital Structure and Restructuring Europe iii Executive Summary This study presents an empirical analysis of capital and liability management in eight cases of bank re- structurings and resolutions from eight different European countries. It can be read as a companion piece to an earlier study by the author covering the specific bank restructuring programs of Greece, Spain and Cyprus during 2012/13.1 The study portrays for each case the timelines between the initial credit event and the (last) restructuring. It proceeds to discuss the capital and liability management activity before restructuring and the restructur- ing itself, launches an attempt to calibrate the extent of creditor participation as well as expected loss by government, and engages in a counterfactual discussion of what could have been a least cost restructur- ing approach. Four of the eight cases are resolutions, i.e. the original

We may also consider the analysis of relative ranking of different securities and the associated impact on any rating that we may assign. Fangchun Rong, CFA Beijing Where relevant, we may consider external factors, such as group relationships, government [email protected] support, counterparty financial support and guarantees, amongst others, and see how these factors may influence either an underlying view of creditworthiness or the ultimate rating that we may assign. When applicable, we would also consider the relative ranking of a given security and the implications of the ranking or nature of that security for any rating that we may assign. Examples where relative ranking may be applicable include areas such as senior secured debt, senior unsecured debt, subordinated debt, hybrid securities, tranched securitization structures, amongst others.
