Understanding ASCOTs (Asset Swapped Convertible Option Transactions)


August 2000 The convertible asset-swap product has come to play an increasingly vital role in the functioning of convertible bond markets globally, especially in Europe and Japan, where convertible issuer credits tend to be of a higher grade. This guide is meant to serve as an introduction for investors who are not already familiar with the product and to demystify what are essentially very straight-forward transactions.
* The key to determining the value of the ASCOT call option strike price is the value of the interest rate swap on any given date

ASCOT Investor

We look to summarise the: Structuring and pricing of ASCOTs including a quick tutorial on the Bloombergs ASW function. Motivations for the different investor- types in entering ASCOT transactions both from the credit buyers and option buyers perspective. Relevant information on entering into asset-swap transactions with Morgan Stanleys AA-minus rated entity including key contacts on the trading and documentation.

1. Development of the Market Asset swaps within the fixed income markets experienced explosive growth during the 1990s due to a surge in investor appetite for bonds packaged with swaps to create synthetic floating rate securities. They are now an established part of the worlds credit markets. The global convertible market has taken advantage of this and convertibles now form a significant part of the corporate asset swap sector. Convertible bond asset swaps involve the restructuring of convertible bonds into synthetic debt securities and equity call options. In this way they offer the opportunity for different investors to participate in the separate attractive characteristics embedded in convertible bonds and have, by implication, widened the appeal of this asset class to a broader group of investors. Asset swaps play an important role in the pricing and sizing of convertible bonds in both the primary and secondary markets. No pricing discussion of a potential new issue occurs nowadays without a thorough assessment of the appetite for the asset swapped bonds. Spread discussion is referenced to the relevant swap curves (LIBOR EurIBOR etc.), therefore it is no longer practical to value convertibles on a spread-to-government bonds basis, particularly as swap/government spreads have become increasingly volatile themselves. The development of the asset swap market has contributed greatly to ability of companies to issue large sized deals into the market and has also been partly responsible for the explosive growth in hedge funds investing in convertible bonds whose ability to run large positions has been enhanced by the risk reduction that this product offers. There are no official statistics, but we estimate that in excess of $50 billion notional has been asset swapped over the past 3 years alone in the Japanese, European, Asian and American convertible bond markets. This guide offers a summary of some of the reasons why investors participate in this product. It looks at the mechanics of the transactions and highlights some of the key issues to be aware of. Included in the appendix, we provide indicative levels, across a wide spectrum of convertibles, of credit spreads based on our actual experience in the marketplace, both recent and historical.

3 2. Splitting a Convertible Bond Asset swapping is the splitting of a convertible bond into its two separate components. These are then purchased by investors seeking separate return profiles. These two components can be reassembled at any time at the option of the equity component holder. Exhibit 1 Hellenic Finance/National Bank of Greece 2% due 07/2003

3. Who are the Investors? The Credit Component Convertible bond asset swaps offer the corporate credit buyer greater spreads than are available in the FRN, Bank Finance and Syndicated Loan Markets and give access to a more diverse range of borrowers. Bank Corporate Lending Departments Corporate Treasuries Bond & Money Market Funds Insurance Companies

Hellenic/NBG CB currently trades at 101, with the stock @ 17,000

The optionality of convertibles ensures that the equity drives valuation as the stock price rises above the fixed CB conversion price

The Equity Component Convertible bond asset swaps offer the ASCOT buyer a pure and leveraged play on the underlying equity of a convertible bond while eliminating credit risk and giving an improved interest rate risk profile Hedge Funds Convertible Funds Institutional Equity Investors Retail Investors

4 4. What does the Credit Investor Get? The credit investor receives a higher spread than is normally available on more traditional investments. He also gains access to a wider range of corporate credits where there may be limited opportunity in the market to purchase conventional products. In return he accepts the feature which allows the ASCOT holder to recall the asset swap package at any time. He also accepts the lower liquidity inherent with this being a structured package.

5. What does the ASCOT Investor get? Leverage ASCOTs give the same upside exposure to direct investment in convertible bonds but with a smaller initial outlay. This is particularly attractive to leveraged hedge funds. Zero Credit Risk There have been many examples of convertible bonds whose theoretical bond floors have failed to hold due to deteriorating credit circumstances. ASCOTs lock in the bond floor. Off Balance Sheet Financing Transferring the ownership of convertible bonds but retaining the ASCOT successfully achieves an off-balance sheet position financed at a rate defined by LIBOR plus the recall spread Improved Interest Rate Risk Profile Convertible bond positions have negative Rho. If rates rise the pure bond value falls but with ASCOTs the strike price declines thereby offsetting the fall in value of the bond. Purer Access to Cheap Pricing Volatility ASCOTs provide the final piece of the hedging jigsaw. Hedging equity, interest rate and credit risk allows investors to capture effectively the cheap implied volatility of a convertible bond with no loss in liquidity.

5 6. Mechanics of the Transaction The Credit Buyer is effectively buying a callable synthetic floating rate note: The investor purchases from Morgan Stanley an asset swap package which comprises a notional amount of convertible bonds, the asset, coupled with an interest rate swap. The price paid is typically 100% of notional. The interest rate swap agreement is for the investor to pay Morgan Stanley the fixed coupons of the convertible bond (2% from Exhibit 3) in return for receiving quarterly floating rate coupons set at EurIBOR (or LIBOR) + the agreed spread (EurIBOR +40bp from Exhibit 3). The future cash flows on the fixed leg of the swap (CB coupons) are typically lower than those on the floating leg. By discounting all these future cash flows by the zero coupon curve implied in the swap curve we can calculate the Net Present Value of the swap (in this illustration, that comes to 6.60% of the notional). This NPV typically has a negative value to Morgan Stanley reflecting the excess in value of payments owing over receivable payments. Morgan Stanley retains an option to repurchase the entire package, bonds plus swap, from the credit investor at 100% plus accrued interest.

The ASCOT Buyer is effectively buying an OTC call option to purchase a Convertible Bond: Assuming the ASCOT investor already owns convertible bonds, he will sell those bonds at a price which is calculated by subtracting the NPV of the interest rate swap from 100% of the notional value of the bonds. This can be viewed as the pure bond floor. Morgan Stanley has therefore purchased bonds at one price and sold them to the credit buyer at 100%. The difference between these two is the swap NPV (6.60%) and by keeping this Morgan Stanley is able to meet its obligation on the swap payments i.e. it pays for the shortfall of the payments made on the floating leg versus the payments received on the fixed leg.

The ASCOT investor simultaneously purchases at zero cost from Morgan Stanley an option to repurchase the convertible bonds. The strike price is set at 100% minus the unwind value of the associated interest rate swap on the date of exercise. The option strike price is therefore floating rather than fixed. The unwind value of the swap is the Net Present Value of the remaining fixed and floating cash flows of the interest rate swap. The strike price thus increases/decreases as interest rates fall/rise. At maturity however the strike price is 100% The ASCOT is an individually negotiated contract with Morgan Stanley and has no public secondary market. It can however be reassigned to a third party subject to consent.

6 7. Option Call Features An ASCOT is an American-style over-the-counter call option to repurchase a convertible bond. The holder may exercise at any time but there may be restrictions for exercising within the first six months. Bonds will be delivered back to the ASCOT holder for value date a maximum 10 (but typically less) days following exercise. The expiry date of the option is set to match either the maturity date or the put date of the underlying convertible bond. If the Issuer calls the convertible bonds for early redemption under the terms and conditions of the bonds then automatic exercise of the ASCOT is triggered whereby the holder must repurchase the bonds. This avoids the potential scenario of missing the final date for conversion of bonds to equity. If the Issuer of the bonds defaults, the ASCOT will expire 10 days later.

MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER


8. Strike Price Features The strike price can be viewed as the pure bond value and is therefore subject to interest rate movements. In a stable interest rate environment the strike price rises steadily towards the convertible bond redemption price over time. The spread of the reference swap which determines the strike price is agreed at the opening of the ASCOT position. This spread is typically 10-20bp tighter than the spread used to determine the initial sale price of the bonds to Morgan Stanley and should be viewed as the Bid/Offer cost of the transaction. The floating strike is by no means the only structure employed in creating ASCOTs. Options can also be structured with fixed strikes or strike prices referenced to a fixed yield to maturity. Such structures are subject to acceptance by the credit investor. The ASW security specific function on Bloomberg for each individual convertible bond provides an accurate tool for calculating the strike price (see the following page).

7 9. The Bloomberg Calculator The ASW function on Bloomberg for a single convertible bond allows the user to calculate the strike price of an ASCOT from a given credit spread. In the case of the Hellenic Finance / National Bank of Greece bond, by entering the 50bp spread, we derive 93.1 as the effective level at which the ASCOT buyer sells the CBs. The strike is calculated on the offer spread (40bp), equating to a strike of 93.4, using the same methodology. Exhibit 4: Illustration of the ASW Function on Bloomberg
Change the floating leg to quarterly payments (by entering 4) Set the Bid/Ask side of the curve to use; A for initial set up B for recalling bonds Ensure that the Default swap curve is set to #45 if EUR; #23 if USD #13 if JPY; #22 if GBP

10. The Leverage Effect Leveraged gains are attractive to all types of investors so long as they do not assume extra risk. For a considerably smaller outlay the same exposure to a convertible bond position can be achieved through ASCOTs. Take the following example of ASCOTs in the Japanese electronics company NEC purchased by some of our clients at a timely moment in June 1999. By paying less than 4 points for ASCOTs the buyer had an option on a convertible with a 60 % premium. The subsequent rise in NECs fortunes have provided a handsome return to the ASCOT holder.

8 11. Protection against Credit Widening ASCOTs not only provide convertible investors with protection against the ultimate credit risk of issuer default, but also protect against any credit widening which can have a significant impact on the valuation of a convertible bond. The following is an example of how a holder of ASCOTs fared relative to a holder of the Fullerton/Singapore Telecom 0% 2003 exchangeable bonds during the latest Asian crisis in 1998. Exhibit 6 Fullerton / Singapore Telecom 0% 2003 Issue Date: STOCK Price: CB Price: CB Premium: Strike (L+50): ASCOT Purchase Price: March 1998 S$ 3.2 100 8% 94 6

MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER


The holder of the exchangeable bonds lost 14 points during the period under review while the ASCOT holder suffered less. The bond price declined to 86, which was an implied credit spread of +200, proving convincingly that the debt spread assumptions used in convertible bond models should not be viewed as a static input. The intrinsic loss on the ASCOT was its full 6 points if valued only as the difference between the strike price and the CB price. Obviously an ASCOT of a bond which only carries an 18% premium has to have a value greater than zero. Based on option models and conservative volatility assumptions the market priced these ASCOTs to have a real value of 4 points; thus the decline in ASCOT value was limited to only 2 points.

12. Documentation Transactions are negotiated with MSIL, Morgan Stanleys operating entity, under ISDA guidelines for swaps & OTC options. MSIL (Morgan Stanley International Ltd.) is a member of the UK regulating body, the Financial Services Authority (FSA). All new counterparties are required to have capacity & authority documents approved by MSIL before a transaction can be executed. All counterparties are required to enter into an ISDA Master Agreement with MSIL. MSIL is guaranteed by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. (Aa3/AA-). MSIL dispatches ISDA confirmations for each transaction which need to be signed and returned. Morgan Stanley Prime Brokerage offers equity financing services for hedged ASCOT positions.

10 Appendix Indicative Spreads

MORGAN STANLEY DEAN WITTER

The following is a list of indicative asset swap credit spread levels based on recent business we have seen in the marketplace or else where no recent business has been transacted, the spreads shown are historical for illustrative purposes (notably in the Asian market). They are not firm bids nor should they be viewed as totally representative of the spreads currently trading in the market. This is not an exhaustive list and there are inevitably a large number of issues in the convertible market for which we have omitted to provide an indicated a credit spread. There may also be names on this list where there is no longer a credit bid available due to investors having exhausted their credit lines or due to changing market conditions. Credit spreads are subject to supply and demand considerations as well as market sentiment. They are therefore not static. Readers should recognise that Morgan Stanley cannot find a credit bid for all the known names in the convertible universe although we will use our best endeavours to do so. Sub-investment grade issues do not typically find ready interest from credit buyers and this is particularly so in the US and Pacific Rim convertible markets which are characterised predominantly by such issues. Please contact your sales representative for an update on particular issues or for a general market overview.
