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

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

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

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)

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
launch and final pricing coming at mid terms of the marketing range for an upsized deal size of £400m, allowing the company to achieve savings of c.60bps vs. a straight bond

■ 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
