3 Corporate-Debt Market There are several trillion dollars of corporate bonds outstanding in the United States. More than half of these are owned by life insurance companies and pension funds. can eliminate much of their financial risk via cash flow matching. can diversify away most default risk by holding a large number of different bonds. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 5 Commercial Paper: CP Unsecured promissory notes, issued by corporations, maturing in less than 270 days discount securities: completely analogous to T-bills The use of CP increased significantly in the early 1980s due to the rising cost of bank loans. the spread between CP and prime rates remains roughly 200 basis points volume only began to fall recently: annual market is still quite large at over $1 trillion outstanding 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 6
4 Commercial-Paper Characteristics Short term debt issued with less documentation typically by large and stable corporations Much cheaper borrowing than banks. Bridge financing. An alternative to CDs and T-bills A typical round-lot transaction is $100,000 Those with maturity up to 90 days can be used as collateral for FED discount window 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H.

Hauswald 9 Commercial-Paper Risks Typically rolled over Rollover risk is backed by an unused credit line Between 1971 to 1989: one default on CP 3 defaults occurred in 1989 and 4 in 1990 Direct paper is sold without an agent Secondary market is thin There is a special rating for CP, P-1,3, A-1,3 Discount instruments, used by money market 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 10
6 Medium Term Notes (MTN) Notes are registered with the SEC under Rule 415 (the shelf registration) and are offered continuously to investors by an agent of the issuer. Maturities vary from 9 months to 30 years. Can be either fixed or floating. Very flexible way to raise debt! 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 11 Primary Market (MTN) Issuer posts spreads over Treasuries for a variety of maturities. Then an agent tries to find an investor. Minimal size is between $1M and $25M. The schedule can be changed at any time! Often structured MTNs are used (caps, floors, etc.) = structured notes. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 12
7 Structured Notes Many institutional investors can use swaps and structured notes to participate in markets that were prohibited. Another use of structured notes is in risk management. Financial Engineering is used to create securities satisfying the needs of investors. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 13 Corporate Bonds 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 14
8 Types of Corporate Bonds Bonds with standard, relatively simple set of features: Plain Vanilla Bonds bullet bonds: lump-sum repayment Debentures: unsecured bonds issued by corporations Mortgage bonds are secured with a property lien. Collateral trust bonds are debt secured with financial collateral. Equipment trust certificates are shares in a trust with income from a lease contract 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 15 Bond Indentures A Bond indenture is a formal written agreement between the corporation and the bondholders. spells out, in detail, the obligations of the corporation, the rights of the corporation, and the rights of the bondholders in practice, few bond investors read the original indenture. instead, they might refer to an indenture summary provided in the prospectus of the bond issue. The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 any bond issue subject to regulation by the SEC must have a trustee appointed to represent bondholders interests the Act is available at the SEC website: 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 16
9 Protective Covenants A bond indenture is likely to contain a number of protective covenants. Protective Covenants are restrictions designed to protect bondholders. Negative covenant ( thou shalt not ): the firm cannot pay dividends to stockholders in excess of what is allowed by a formula based on the firm s earnings. Positive covenant ( thou shalt ): proceeds from the sale of assets must be used either to acquire other assets of equal value or to redeem outstanding bonds. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 17 Attributes of Corporate Bonds Registered Bonds Restrictive Covenants Call and repayment provisions Higher yield Sinking fund Interest of the stockholders Alternative opportunities Conversion 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 18
10 Security and Seniority Secured Bonds: collateral Mortgage bonds Equipment trust certificates Guaranteed bonds: third party s guarantees Unsecured Bonds Debentures Subordinated debentures Variable-rate bonds Junk Bonds 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 19 Call and Put Provisions A call provision allows the issuer to buy back all or part of its outstanding bonds at a specified call price sometime before the bonds mature. when interest rates fall, bond prices increase: the firm can call-in the existing bonds, i.e., pay the call price. the corporation can then issue new bonds with a lower coupon: this process is called bond refunding. A bond with a put provision can be sold back to the issuer at a pre-specified price (normally set at par) on any of a sequence of pre-specified dates. bonds with put provisions are often called extendible bonds. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 20
11 price Call vs. Put Option: Yields? Negative convexity area non-callable callable yield Callable bond = noncallable call option price 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 21 Convertibles Convertible bonds are bonds that can be exchanged for common stock according to a pre-specified conversion ratio (i.e., the number of shares acquired). Suppose the conversion ratio for a $1,000 par value bond is 20 shares. Conversion Price = Bond Par Value / Conversion Ratio Then, the conversion price is $50 ($1,000 / 20). Conversion Value = Price Per Share X Conversion Ratio If the market price per share of stock is currently $40, the conversion value is $800 ($40 x 20). 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 22
12 Maturity Term bonds are issued with a single maturity date, while serial bonds are issued with a regular sequence of maturity dates. Term bonds normally have a sinking fund, which is an account used to repay some bondholders before maturity. Money paid into a sinking fund can only be used to pay bondholders. Some bondholders are repaid before the stated maturity of their bonds, whether they want to be repaid or not. At maturity, only a portion of the original bond issue will still be outstanding. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 23 Bond Market Trading An active secondary market with a substantial volume of bond trading exists, satisfies most of the liquidity needs of investors. Corporate bond trading is characteristically an OTC activity: typical block? Nevertheless, the New York and Luxemburg Stock Exchanges trade bonds provide official prices: purpose? 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 24
13 NYSE Bonds Quote 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 25 Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE) At the request of the SEC, corporate bond trades are now reported through TRACE. TRACE provides a means for bond investors to get accurate, up-to-date price information. TRACE has dramatically improved the information available about bond trades. Transaction prices are now reported on more than 4,000 corporate bonds about 75% of market volume for investment grade bonds. more bonds to be added to TRACE over time. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H.

16 Market vs. Credit Returns Typical credit returns Frequency Typical market returns Source: CIBC Portfolio Value Comparison of the distributions of credit returns and market returns 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 31 The Yield Spread A bond s credit rating helps determine its yield spread. The yield spread is the extra return (increased yield to maturity) that investors demand for buying a bond with a lower credit rating (and higher risk). Yield spreads are often quoted in basis points over Treasury notes and bonds. That is, Suppose we see a 5-year Aaa/AAA yield spread equal to 59. This means the YTM on this bond is 59 basis points (0.59%) greater than 5-year U.S. Treasury notes. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 32

Hauswald 37 Spot-Rate Pricing The term structure implies a set of zero prices that can be used to price any cash flow 1 B(0,t) = ( 1+ R(0,t) ) t 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 38

Hauswald 39 Default-Free Corporate Bond We use the term structure to price the cash flow of a bond we wish to price. For example, suppose we want to price a 15-year 12% coupon corporate bond. Term Spot Yield Zero Price Cash Present t R(0,t) B(0,t) Flow Value % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ % $ $ $ Theoretical price $ /22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 40
21 Static Spread Analysis The difference between the bond s market price and its theoretical risk-free price reflects the yield premium investors demand for bearing risk. For example, the 12% 15-year corporate was priced at 86 15/16 recently. We calculated a theoretical price of for this bond, which implies a price differential of $ per $100 of face value. 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 41 Static Spread The static spread is the yield pickup (over and above the term structure) needed to equate the present value of a bond s cash flow with its price. That is, instead of using the term structure to value a bond s cash flow, we use 1 B (0,t) = ( 1+ R(0,t) + s) t 2/22/2016 Corporate Debt Robert B.H. Hauswald 42
