BPER Mandate; Likely To Price Wide To Intesa

FINANCIALS

BPER Banca green sr pref mandate; ISP’s curve would likely price a new issue in the region of 110-115bp, so we’d see BPER pricing wide to this.


  • BPER announced the mandate for a green senior preferred EUR500m issue, 6NC5 WNG, expected to be rated Ba1/BBB-/BBB. BPER only has three sr pref bonds outstanding, none are green and only at shorter maturities (furthest is Mar-27) so there will be some rarity value to this.
  • BPER’s curve trades wide of ISP’s sr pref curve (see graphic), and ISP has two big issues out at Mar-28 trading in the region of MS+78-88bp. The ISP curve at 5Y is a little over 100bp, so would see any new issue pricing 110-115bp so a BPER issue, even with rarity value, would likely to wider than those numbers.
