  • NOVBNC is issuing EUR500m WNG 4.5NC3.5 senior preferred fixed-to-FRN with IPT at MS+130bp area. Expected ratings are: Baa3/BBB-.
  • Novo Banco is the entity that emerged from the rescue of Banco Espirito Santo and is a top 4 bank in Portugal and still majority owned by Lone Star.
  • Novo only has one senior pref to price from, the 4.25% 2028 at MS+100bp and 1yr shorter workout. Similarly rated peers only have about 5bp p.a. extension premium so we can see fair value here as tight as MS+105bp area.
