As for r/v, the main comp for today's deal was the Allianz debut onshore dollar and debut RT1 printed last November:
ALVGR 3.500% Perp NC 11/17/25 $103.7 (2.55% YTC; Swaps +180; T+177bp) - $1.25bn pxd 11/10/20 – b/e T+297.3bp.
With the credit curve in capital trades essentially flat at present, relative value comes down to the back end adjustment.
We were told most Europeans do a 25% adjustment on the back-end. Nov deal back-end T+297.3 – T+177bp trading level = 120bp * 0.25 = 30bp for the back end adjustment. So T+177bp trading level on the outstanding + 30bp for the adjustment gets you to T+207bp vs the new 3.20% priced with a reset spread of T+216.5bp. CONCESSION 9.5BP.
Final book size came in between $6.2bn and $6.4bn (top heard at $7bn)
- Another impressive coupon from Allianz
The 3.50% coupon on the Allianz debut deal in Nov 2020 ranked as the all-time lowest hybrid coupon (in dollars) at the time.
Today's 3.20% also has a notable landing on the hybrid low coupon table – coming in at #2 all-time behind the crazy low bar set by Shinhan Financial Group in May of this year (2.875% coupon). If you take out Shinhan (it was 144a, but some insist not bought in the States), then today's Allianz trade is at the top of the list again.
