Introduction
Recent market activity has demonstrated
considerable appetite for hybrid equity
issuances
  • Capital is in short supply, so it is expensive if
    it is available
  • Users of capital either pay higher margins or
    issue equity
  • Interest bearing senior debt where the interest
    is tax deductible is the cheapest form of capital
  • Equity is issued where debt is not available
  • Convertible debt is a hybrid between debt and
    equity cheaper than equity and more expensive
    than debt
  • Convertible debt has a low cash cost and could be
    cheap if conversion never happens

Introduction
  • Current capital market response

    investor appetite for hybrid equity instruments

    evidence seen in the local market

Spectrum of capital instruments available
A convertible bond offers a number of advantages
to the issuer over straight debt and equity
funding
Convertible bond advantages
Convertible bond disadvantages
  • Allows cash flow relief relative to term debt
    (lower coupon and bullet profile)
  • Share price volatility monetised to reduce
    funding cost
  • Soft and hard call options can provide issuer
    some dilution protection
  • High level of structuring and pricing flexibility
  • Greater quantum of funding may be available than
    vanilla debt
  • May help maintain or improve credit rating
  • Lower financial and cash flow risk
  • Conversion premium allows issuer to obtain better
    equity issue value
  • Increased pool of potential investors (debt and
    equity)
  • Greater potential for equity dilution than
    vanilla debt
  • Option value typically not fully discounted in
    pricing
  • More complex than vanilla debt and equity
  • Additional administrative burden
  • Potentially complex tax treatment
  • Complex accounting treatment
  • Less flexibility than bank loans

Convertible bond issue pricing
Convertible bond pricing components
  • Main parameters used in pricing the convertible
  • Volatility
  • Conversion premium
  • Issuer call
  • Term to maturity also impacts option value
  • The convertible bond coupon is determined by
    valuing the embedded equity option and deducting
    this from the coupon that would be paid on a
    vanilla bond.
  • The primary factors affecting the pricing are
  • Volatility of the underlying equity
  • Conversion premium
  • Terms of Issuer call option on the bond
  • Maturity

Convertible
Debt
  • The higher the volatility the more valuable the
    option and the lower the coupon
  • Market soundings and past issuances indicate that
    investors will price in a significantly lower
    volatility to the actual share price volatility

Volatility of underlying equity
  • The greater the conversion premium the lower the
    value of the option

Conversion premium
  • To protect against giving away equity too cheaply
    through the convertible an issuer can often force
    conversion after a specified date if the share
    price increases by more than a specified
    percentage
  • The longer the term the more valuable the option
    and the lower the coupon

Terms of issuer call option (soft call)
Maturity
10
Potential long-term savings of convertible bonds
  • Any maturity share price below c.R115 will result
    in savings from the convertible bond over vanilla
    term debt
  • If no conversion takes place - a permanent
    pre-tax interest saving of c.R38.7 million
  • Key assumptions include
  • Reference price R88.70
  • Conversion premium 25
  • Convertible rate 3m JIBAR 170 bps (midpoint of
    range)
  • 3 year bullet term debt rate 3m JIBAR 3

Share price in 3 years time (R)
  • Note
  • This graph depicts the present value if
    conversion happens after year 3. If conversion
    happens before three years, the coupon savings
    will be less
  • Based on the assumptions, the present value range
    of the pre-tax interest saving is as follows

Overview of redemption and conversion features
Convertible bonds usually have various redemption
and conversion features, including
  • Redemption
  • The Bond may have soft call features

Issuer soft-call
  • issuer soft-call
  • issuer hard-call
  • deferred conversion rights
  • standard conversion price adjustments

  • The soft-call gives the issuer the right to
    redeem all Bonds outstanding at face value within
    a specified time period, subject to
    pre-determined share price performance the
    holder is given the chance to convert before
    redemption (forced conversion)
  • Redemptions can be cash or in shares
  • Conversion
  • Face value divided by conversion price gives the
    number of shares into which each Bond can be
    converted
  • The Bondholder has the right to convert each Bond
    into the shares within a specified time period
  • The Conversion Price will be adjusted if various
    events occur which dilute the interests of the
    Bondholders these are standard for an
    instrument of this type

Strong investor appetite for equity-linked new
issues
Recent developments
  • The recent resurgence of convertible bond
    transactions worldwide is showing broad appetite
    from yield-hungry equity and convertible outright
    investors alike
  • The convertible bond market has seen 9.6bn of
    supply year-to-date, with close to 2.0bn in May
    and 2.35bn in JuneĀ 
  • In May and June, the market's appetite was
    successfully tested with supply of non-investment
    grade names (First Quantum, Q-Cells, Bulgari,
    Alliance) which highlights the depth of the
    market for primary supply
  • Lessons learned from recent deals
  • Demand has been overwhelming on recent deals
  • The investment grade market is wide open, the sub
    investment grade market is open for select
    credits, equity stories and sectors
  • The investor base is now 50 outright, 50
    traditional convertible arbitrage, of the 50
    arbitrage buyers, half are allocating to
    directional funds

Recent European equity-linked issues

    successful with the books multiple times
    subscribed within 2 hours of opening
  • The common stock priced at a 6.6 discount to the
    previous closing price

South African equity-linked issues
  • Notes
  • Shaded transactions denote offerings led by
    Morgan Stanley () denotes implied
    sub-investment grade offerings

    part of overall restructuring premium based on

Highlights of recent equity-linked transactions
  • Final phase of refinancing process after equity
    placement and rights issue
  • The transaction was fully underwritten by RMB and
    shareholders were effectively granted pre-emptive
    rights
  • Despite being the first listed convertible in
    South Africa and local investors being required
    to utilise offshore investment allowances, it was
    very well received and RMB exercised the R150m
    greenshoe

In the current environment, pre-marketing is
successfully applied - Minimises market risk -
Allows fine tuning of launch terms Opportunistic
financing with the aim to refinance upcoming
redemption or generate liquidity were the key
motivation for issuers We expect the market
activity to continue near-term

    for a company in arguably one of the toughest
    sectors, on the back of three well-received
    transactions

    prior to launch which enabled Morgan Stanley to
    assess investor appetite and sensitivity to
    coupon being greater than to premium level

    covered at the mid-point of the marketing range
  • Books were c.9 times oversubscribed with c. 80/20

Anglo Tongaat equity placement and exchangeable
bond
On 12 August 2009, Anglo announced a secondary
offering of Tongaat ordinary shares in
conjunction with an exchangeable bond issue
Due to the strong demand for the Tongaat
ordinary shares, Anglo American sold all of its
shares in the equity placing and therefore the
exchangeable bond was not issued However, this
transaction highlighted significant local and
international demand for convertible instruments
Highlights
Proposed terms of the exchangeable bond
  • Placement of Anglo American plcs (Anglo)
    entire holding of 51.2 million Tongaat Hulett
    Limited (Tongaat) ordinary shares, representing
    approximately 49.5 of Tongaats listed shares
    through a secondary offering

    exchangeable bond issue (with R2 billion of the
    bond underwritten by RMB)

    of the exchangeable and equity placing components
    to be adjusted based on market demand and
    achievable pricing for the respective offerings
  • a complete solution for Anglo allowing one-stage
    exit from a sizeable position in a listed company
  • Due to the strong demand for the Tongaat ordinary
    shares, Anglo sold all of its shares through the
    equity placing and therefore the exchangeable
    bond was not issued
  • However, market feedback on August 12, 2009
    indicated a strong demand from both local and
    international investors for exchangeable
    instruments
