The Road to Recovery Association of Property Bankers Annual Seminar Graham Emmett Head of Lending Tuesday 21st September 2010
Introduction • Why NAMA • NAMA Act 2009 & Powers • Loan transfers • The NAMA Process • Business plans & Sales
Why NAMA? • In September 2008 Irish Government Deposit Guarantee put in place with six irish banks to: • safeguard deposits • remedy serious disturbance caused by worldwide financial crisis • Reduce possibility of systemic bank failure. • Examination of the Irish banks’ Balance Sheets showed: 40% of total loan book is CRE related (€160bn/€400bn). • Anglo Irish Bank nationalised January 2009 • February 2009 Minister for Finance asked Dr. Peter Bacon to prepare a report outlining options. • Recapitalisations via preference shares followed: €3.5bn in both BOI (March ‘09) & AIB (May ‘09). • April 2009: Government decided to act on Dr. Bacon’s recommendation & establish the National Asset Management Agency under the control of the National Treasury Management Agency.
Why NAMA? contd... • NAMA’s aim is to repair impaired Bank balance sheets and improve liquidity. Achieved by: • taking most impaired loans off bank’s Balance Sheets: i.e Land & Development loans • deal with the cumulative systemic debtor exposure inherent within the system i.e all loans. • NAMA Bonds issued to pay for loans, fresh bank capital. Injected also by Government if necessary. • September 2009: NAMA Bill introduced in Dail. • 21 December 2009: NAMA formally established
Why NAMA? contd... • 22 December 2009: NAMA Board appointed • February 2010: EU approval of NAMA. • March 2010: Transfer of initial 10 largest debtors (Tranche 1): €15bn of par loans.
NAMA • Five participating institutions (“PI”): AIB, Anglo, BOI, Irish Nationwide & EBS. • €81bn ‘eligible assets’ will transfer in 7 Tranches: • Transfers commenced March 2010. • Approx. 1,500 borrowers & 15,000 individual loans. • €27bn transferred (T1 & T2) to date, €12bn expected T3 end Sept ‘10. • Debtor loans from €5m to €2.5bn. • February 2011 EU deadline for the transfer of all tranches. • NAMA buys par loans at November 2009 values: expected average discounts at inception were 30%. Now average 52% after due diligence. • Banks revert to core business, assist economic recovery & safeguard Irish banking system.
NAMA contd... • NAMA bonds guaranteed by Irish Government and issued by NAMA SPV. • Not part of the National debt. • NAMA can raise up to €5bn of funding to manage, develop & add value to acquired properties. • NAMA bonds self funding from performing loans (approx. 25% of par value are cash producing). • NAMA is neutral to Irish Exchequer – self financing.
NAMA contd... • NAMA addresses systemic borrower risk. • Borrowers had loans with all PIs, no measure of total name exposure within the Regulator. • Lending carried out in haste: inadequate security & documentation. • NAMA’s key advantages: • Assess borrower’s aggregate exposure to all five banks & underlying security/documentation. • Objective/No Legacy • Golden circle borrowers. • Act gives NAMA commercial and statutory powers.
NAMA contd... • NAMA is an asset management vehicle: capacity to take long term view if makes commercial sense. Timeframe to manage and realise these assets is 7 – 10 years. • Loan acquisition value (“LAV”) consists of: • 95% Government Guaranteed Securities & 5% Subordinated Securities. • Surplus over LAV accrues to NAMA. • Loss: Banks to make Exchequer good: via non redemption of 5% Subordinated securities and additional tax surcharge may be imposed.
Staff in NAMA Independent Board of Directors: 7 members + CEOs NAMA + NTMA. 104 staff by Dec 2010.
NAMA Act 2009 • NAMA Act 2009: one of the most complex pieces of legislation ever enacted by the Irish House of Parliament. • NAMA is an asset management agency & not a bad bank. • NAMA acquiring non performing loans and performing from five participating institutions. • NAMA’s duties: managing and protecting acquired loans/properties and avoiding undue concentration/distortion in the market. • NAMA is commercial – expected to make a profit of €1bn.
NAMA Powers • NAMA can: • Provide equity capital and credit facilities as it sees fit; • Initiate enforcement, restructuring, reorganisation (e.g statutory receiver); • Enter into a partnership or JV to perform its duties; • Acquire and dispose of properties; • Purchase non eligible bank assets if deemed necessary; • Make any planning permission for land; • Undertake development to realise full value of asset; • Do all things as the Board deems necessary to perform its duties. NAMA CAN CARRY OUT ITS FUNCTIONS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE STATE. • NAMA can apply to the Court for a vesting order & an acquisition order. • NAMA can appoint a statutory receiver: very wide ranging powers. A Borrower CANNOT remove a Statutory Receiver (Irish Law).
Much public debate that NAMA is a bailout mechanism for: • the Developers • the Banks • Widely assumed that NAMA would overpay for loans and continue to fund Developers’ excessive building plans and lifestyles. • Initial average loan discount rates expected to be 35 – 40%. • Actual discount rates of 50% & 56% for T1 & T2. • NAMA paying fair value. • Price of loan is highly correlated with current market value of property. • NAMA will manage top 100 borrower relationships directly (c.€50bn) & remaining 1,400 (€31bn) will be managed by Participating Institutions, but NAMA will act as Credit Committee. • PIs continue to act as loans servicer through their NAMA unit in Ireland and London.
The Valuation Process • Each property valued individually after an intensive property & legal due diligence process to derive loan value as at Nov 2009. • Potential uplift added to get Long term Economic Value (LEV) if deemed appropriate by NAMA. Maximum 25% uplift. • LEV is the value that NAMA can reasonably expect to realise on its acquired assets over a 7 – 10 year horizon. • Further factors considered to arrive at loan value: • Underlying security and imperfections • Additional collateral offered by debtor • Whether loan is income producing • Value of derivative arrangements (currency/interest hedging) • Section 93 Act: if information comes to light post transfer that NAMA valuation incorrect, then rebate process begins. • Debtor still liable for Par value of loans.
Breakdown of NAMA Portfolio • Tranche 1 comprised 10 largest Borrowers: €15.3bn Par debt, acquired by NAMA for €7.7bn: 50% discount. • Tranche 2 totalled €11.9bn of Par debt, acquired for €5.3bn; 56% discount. • Total discount for T1 & T2 = 52% • €27bn Par debt acquired for €12.9bn: €12.9bn liquidity for Irish Banks. • EU agreed that if NAMA bought loans based on CMV then NAMA would underpay and PIs would lose out on any future market recovery. => Act applies some element of “LEV” uplift to ascertain fair and reasonable price.
Breakdown of NAMA Portfolio contd... RESULT: €12.98bn paid for T1 & T2 which had a total LEV of €14.2bn and CMV €12.86bn: 9% discount on LEV and 1% uplift on CMV. NAMA has 100% Asset Cover. • End of Sept €12bn is expected in Tranche 3. At this point 50% of total loan value will have transferred. Feb. 2011 EU deadline for all Tranches.
Breakdown of Asset Class: T1 & T2 Once all Tranches transferred, the expected breakdown for Land and Development is: €33bn in Ireland, €10bn Britain, €3bn: N. Ireland.
Geographical Breakdown of T1 & T2 Expected breakdown of total loans: c.67% of assets will be based in Ireland, 27% in UK (6% in N. Ireland).
NAMA’s remit: manage acquired loans effectively in best interests of the State with overall objective to obtain best financial return subject to acceptable financial risk. • Financial return must take account of loan acquisition value, NAMA’s running costs + NAMA’s cost of capital. • Process (typically 3 months): • All debtors must submit a Business Plan within 6 weeks of loan acquisition: detailed REALISTIC repayment plan (3 – 5 years). • Independent Business Plan Reviewer analyses this plan. • NAMA decides on a course of action and negotiates terms with debtor. • NAMA will work with debtors if it makes commercial sense but expects FULL CO-OPERATION & FULL DISCLOSURE. • NAMA will foreclose on Debtors who: • have Business Plans that NAMA deem unviable or are un co-operative or can’t service their debts.
Types of Borrowers • 2 types of borrowers: COMPLIANT AND NON COMPLIANT. • Compliant Borrower: provides full disclosure and works to agreed Business Plan => may subsequently be rewarded: e.g Personal Guarantee /Liabilities reduction and Debt restructuring. • Non Compliant Borrower: fails to meet NAMA strategy => ENFORCEMENT LIKELY. • NAMA is not about hoarding assets & waiting for the market to recover. It is about setting debt reduction targets, selling assets to achieve this & for borrowers to prove they have Managerial capacity to deliver on this. • NAMA has the property expertise to manage properties directly.
In total, NAMA expects to pay €40.5bn for €81bn par value of loans. • Just over a week ago, NAMA CEO announced that NAMA in ‘advanced discussions’ with debtors on disposals worth €500m. • The NAMA Board has set targets for significant debt reduction over a three year period which will have a bearing on future property sales:
Strategy: • NAMA will reduce its exposure to undeveloped land/partially completed developments as soon as feasible via public auction. • NAMA will provide new loans where the loans add € for € value & it makes commercial sense to complete a development. • NAMA will actively seek JV Partners where they own assets directly. • NAMA will take control of assets where debtor is not demonstrating a value add. • If compliant borrowers, NAMA may agree 3-5 year debt repayment plan. • NAMA will dispose of assets depending on market conditions and not engage in speculative hoarding of assets or fire sales. • NAMA will, where viable, work with debtors to maximise debt repayment. • All gains accrue to the tax payer: NPV best case €3.9bn, worst case (€0.8bn) and central scenario of €1bn.
Over the next few years the NAMA plan will have stabilised the Irish economy and: • Ireland will be on the road to recovery • With credit readily available • BUT with more stringent capability testing by banks in place for debtors. • NAMA is an honest solution, recognise losses in the banks, recapitalise and get market moving. • NAMA wants to be innovative, Irish REIT. • Real money Investors – we will be commercial.
