Robust convertible bond market

conditions have enabled issuers

to achieve premium pricings,

taking advantage of the currently

very attractive secondary market

trading dynamics

Eleven issuers have tapped the

market since the beginning of the

year

o Six have achieved zero

coupon or negative yield

financing

o Three have been able to

upsize issue on the day on

the back of exceptional

demand

Some of those issuances have

been offset by liability

management exercises increasing

current need for paper

Convertible Bonds

2

Overview

Who?

What?

Why?

Interest cost lower compared to equivalent straight debt given the option component effectively subsidies the cost of the bond

In case the share price increases and the bond converts, no redemption (and therefore no cash outflow) of the bond

Tap an alternative investor base of specialized convertible investors

‘Easy’ to execute

Bond convertible into a fixed number of shares at the conversion price

Economically a convertible bond is equivalent to the issue of a straight bond plus a call option on the underlying shares

Conversion takes place at the conversion price

Interest bearing instrument

Investors have the right to converts the bonds (no obligation)

Investment Grade (Rated) Sub Investment Grade (Rated) Investment Grade (Non-Rated) Sub Investment Grade (Non-Rated)

Trading Profiles

Out-of-the-Money

(Debt-Like)

At-the-Money

(Well-Balanced)

In-the-Money

(Equity-Like)

Underlying share price significantly below the conversion price

Convertible has low equity sensitivity and behaves like fixed-

income security

The main price factors are the interest rate level and the issuer’s

credit spread

Underlying share price close to the conversion price

Convertible is considered well-balanced

Medium sensitivity to changes in the underlying equity

These bonds are affected by the share price movements as well

as changes in interest rates and the issuer’s credit profile

Underlying share price significantly above the conversion price

Highly sensitive to changes in the equity, whereas their sensitivity

to changes in interest rates and / or credit spreads is low

Trade at an insignificant premium to parity

Deep in-the-money convertibles will almost certainly be

converted into the underlying shares at maturity

How to Execute a Convertible Bond

11

Key Considerations Overview Timeline

Reference Price Mechanism

Convertibles are executed in an accelerated bookbuilding format

Launch and pricing within 1-day / several hours

Launch pre-market open and pricing during the course of the day, depending on progress of bookbuilding

Possibility to execute convertible overnight and outside of market hours but less common in Europe

Typically convertibles are ‘pre-sounded’ with a small number of key accounts one day before launch in a confidential wall-crossing process

In order to calculate the conversion price, a reference price will have to be determined

The reference price is the volume weighted average share price (“VWAP”) between launch and pricing

Call Spread Overlay and Equity-Neutral Convertible

Convertible + Call Spread Overlay

Equity-Neutral Convertible

Increase the effective conversion premium of a convertible issue to up to 100%

All-in cost below straight debt

Diversification of funding sources

Call spread is a private transaction between bank and the Issuer, therefore no market risk

Combination of

Sale of a cash settled convertible bond; and

Concurrent purchase of a cash settled call option, matching the call option embedded in the convertible

Exposure from exercise of conversion right embedded in convertible fully offset with exercise of purchased call option by the Issuer

Resulting economic profile equal to a straight bond

Take advantage of strong convertible investor demand

Lower funding costs than equivalent straight bond (i.e. coupon of convertible + purchase of call option < cost of straight debt)

Issue of a traditional convertible bond combined with the purchase of a call spread to boost the effective conversion price

Call spread is a combination of a long call option with a low strike and a short call option with a high strike

Purchase of call option matching the terms of the call option embedded in the convertible (Lower strike call)

Sell a call option at a higher strike, partially funding the purchase of the lower strike call (Upper strike call)

Proceeds of the Bonds will be used for the optimization of the financial structure and the cost of capital of the Issuer primarily by financing the potential repurchase of certain of the Issuer’s outstanding €225 million convertible bonds due 2015 (if any) and reimbursing (at maturity or otherwise) any such bonds not repurchased

BofAML Role Joint Bookrunner

____________________ Source: Company data as of 30 June 2013, Press Release and Public Filings (1) As at 7 October 2013

On 8th October 2013, BofAML acted as Joint Bookrunner on an up

to €270m convertible bond placement for Italian real estate

company Beni Stabili

With a market cap of over €900m(1), Beni Stabili is the largest REIT

listed on the Milan Stock Exchange; Beni Stabili is also listed on

the NYSE Euronext Paris Stock Exchange

The transaction which was launched pre-European market open,

received an exceptional response from investors with books being

covered within the first few hours and the final book being

multiple times oversubscribed

Robust investor demand for equity-linked issues enabled the deal to be upsized from €230m

to €270m (assuming full exercise of greenshoe) with pricing coming in at the best terms for

the issuer and the coupon being below the 3% average yield paid by real estate issuers in

EMEA since 2010

Concurrent to the new issue, there was an independent reverse bookbuilding process to

repurchase the existing 2015 Convertible Bonds of Beni Stabili

The transaction was particularly significant on a relative basis, with underlying shares

representing c.56% of free float and almost 270 days trading

Distribution was targeted at long-only accounts, which was reflected in the high quality order

book and minimum share price impact of c.1% between launch and pricing

Despite volatile markets on the back of local political instability, Beni Stabili achieved its target

conversion premium, representing the highest in the real estate sector in the last 5 years and

the highest in EMEA YTD

The transaction is the largest real estate issue in EMEA YTD, raising the gross sector proceeds

to €1.8bn YTD

With this transaction, BofAML has successfully executed three convertible bond issues for Beni

Stabili since 2006, reinforcing its market position as the advisor of choice in the EMEA equity-

linked market and proving the strength of its global distribution platform

Case Study: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (“FCAU”)

17

Concurrent $2.5bn Mandatory Convertible and $957mm Common Stock Offerings

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, (“FCA” or “FCAU”), is a global automotive group engaged in designing, engineering,

manufacturing, distributing and selling vehicles, components and production systems

The Company is the seventh largest automaker in the world, operating both in the mass-market and in the luxury sport

cars segments, through a broad portfolio of brands (including Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Fiat

Professional, Jeep, Lancia and Ram for the mass-market, Ferrari and Maserati for the luxury segment)

The group is also engaged in the production and sale of automotive components, mainly through the companies

Magneti Marelli, Comau and Teksid

Listed both in New York and Milan, the FCA group is the result of the combination between the Chrysler Group and the

Fiat S.p.A, completed in October 2014

On December 10, 2014, BofA Merrill Lynch, acting as Joint Bookrunner priced a 2-year $2.5 billion of SEC-Registered

Mandatory Convertible Securities (excluding $375mm greenshoe) and $957 million of Common Stock Add-On (excluding

$143mm greenshoe) for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (“FCAU” or the “Company”)

The mandatory convertible is structured uniquely as a 2-year maturity. The shorter duration is a reflection of FCAU’s

bullish view on its future stock price

FCAU had previously announced its intention to spin-off Ferrari SpA. Subject to completion of the spin-off, mandatory

holders will be entitled to participate in the spin-off and receive shares of Ferrari

Exor SpA, the number one shareholder of FCAU, purchased $886mm in aggregate notional amount of the Mandatory

Convertible Securities to preserve its ~30% fully-diluted interest in the Common Shares

The transactions were extremely well received and the order books were oversubscribed from a mix of equity

investors, dedicated convertible investors, credit investors and hedge funds, primarily in the US. As a result:

BofAML was able to price the full size deals on both mandatory and common offering, despite the combined

offering representing approximately a fifth of the Company’s market cap

Mandatory offering represented largest mandatory offering since 2011

BofAML acted as Joint Bookrunner in the Transaction, which marks the continuation of BofAML’s strong relationship

with the Company, being the 4th capital market transaction in the year after having been Left Lead Joint Bookrunning

Manager for Chrysler’s $2.8bn add-on notes, Joint Lead Arranger for Chrysler’s $2.0bn Senior Secured Credit Facilities

and Joint Bookrunner on a €850m notes offering for Fiat

■ There has been a revival of hybrid convertible bonds, as demonstrated by three transactions YTD which indicated market appetite for such structures ■ Inclusion of hybrid convertible bonds as financing tools have enabled Issuers such as Sainsbury, Neopost and Assytem to:

■ take advantage of the exceptional equity-linked market environment and arbitrage the market which tends to take a very forgiving view of subordination, rather viewing the structure as a yield enhancement strategy and therefore bidding aggressively for paper

■ maximize demand and sizing tension in both straight hybrid and equity-linked markets as witnessed in the Sainsbury combined offering ■ substantially reduce hybrid funding costs while achieving equity credit for the instrument

■ Hybrid convertibles are a balance sheet strengthening tool, securing 100% equity credit from auditors

■ Non-dilutive issue of convertible bonds by simultaneously purchasing cash-settled call options on ordinary shares to fully hedge the company’s exposure upon conversion of the cash-settled bonds

■ The embedded call option in the convertible bond, on one hand, and the call option purchased on the other hand, neutralises the Issuer’s position, allowing it to effectively issue a vanilla straight

bond at a lower cash coupon cost and capitalise on favorable convertible market conditions ■ Captures arbitrage valuation differential that convertible investors are willing to pay for blue

chip names and a privately purchased mirror call option ■ National Grid revived the previously tested structure with books covered within c.2 hours post

■ Mandatories, as a tool of M&A financing, strengthening balance sheet and achieving equity credit have been well established following offerings from diverse issuers recently

■ Whilst a range of corporate issuers have accessed the market in view of taking balance sheet measures, a number of issuers have also utilised the product to dispose off their

major investment holdings to retain partial upside and protect themselves on the downside

■ Recognising that the largest pool of outright demand for mandatories stems from the US, a significant number of long-only accounts in Europe have demonstrated interest in the

product as witnessed in recent issues with many hedge funds also taking long positions in the instrument at launch, minimising share price impact and making it an attractive value

proposition for issuers
