Atradius T2 Debt Issue: IPT Is MS+275bp, We See FV Around MS+230bp

CREDIT SUPPLY

Atradius is coming to market with a subordinated Tier 2 instrument: IPT is MS+275bp, we see fair value around MS+230bp.


  • In a slightly complex transaction, this bond is being issued from the Spanish subsid of a Dutch holding company and, concurrently, the outstanding EUR250m sub debt of Atradius Finance BV (ATRADI 5.25% 09.23/2044) is being tendered for.
  • This is tough to value but financials sub debt at this maturity is rare – the EUR curve for similarly-rated bonds (A2-rated) is attached and shows an upper group of more P&C insurers and a lower group of reinsurers and composites (largely, Axa).
  • We value using the upper group as our start point and the slope of the overall A2 curve which would get us to a fair value of around 220bp. We adjust to 230bp to account for the rarity factor plus the little-known nature of the issuer (as a credit insurer).
