Letters of Credit • Facility expirations in 2011 had minimal impact • Good pricing • Low VRDB issuance • Lots of competition • Overall supply and VRDBs supply is low • Banks no longer requiring other treasury service relationships • Tenors are typically 3 years or less
Direct Loans • Borrowers opting for direct loans instead of public sale • Lower transaction costs • Easier implementation • No credit ratings • No public disclosure • Longer tenors for variable rate transactions (4-10 years) • Fixed rate typically sold with 20-30 loan and mandatory tender in 4-10 years
Direct Loans Share VRDBs Risk • Bank renewal/Refinancing Risk • Obligation to Repay Loan Accelerates at Term • Many issuers do not have cash on hand or budget flexibility to cover accelerated repayment • Immediate acceleration due to rating or default triggers • Unknown costs related to changing regulatory environment Source: Moody’s Investors Service
Direct Loans Reduce Some Risk • Alternative to Variable Rate Demand Bonds • Increases availability of liquidity at renewal • Limited refinancing risk • For VRDBs, failed remarketing can occur at any time • Credit deterioration of bank or general market dislocation could result in failed remarketing of VRDBs Source: Moody’s Investors Service
Existing Swaps • Continued focus on counterparty risk • Understand collateral thresholds • Consider replacing counterparties • Understanding Additional Termination Events (ATEs) • Treatment of swaps in debt restructuring • Review documents to see whether swap is tied to existing debt structure (i.e. tied to current LOC provider)
Holistic Approach • Cash, Investments, Debt, Operations • Understand enterprise risk • Diversify • Balance Credit Quality, Cost, Service and Institutional Exposure
