Eerste gedekte obligatie in European DataWarehouse
FRANKFURT, Duitsland–(BUSINESS WIRE)– European DataWarehouse (ED) kondigt met blijdschap aan dat BPER Banca S.p.A. (BPER) de eerste emittent is die een gedekte obligatie (BPER OBG1) publiceert en uploadt naar EDwin, het platform van ED.
Gedekte obligaties zijn schuldinstrumenten met een dubbele claim, die meestal worden gedekt door een pool hypotheken of schulden uit de publieke sector met een volledige claim op de emittent. Obligatiehouders hebben een preferente claim op de dekkingspool ten opzichte van ongedekte schuldeisers van de emittent.
De publicatie van de eerste gedekte obligatie in EDwin is een belangrijke mijlpaal voor ED, dat ernaar streeft de transparantie in financiële markten te bevorderen.
First Covered Bond Created in European DataWarehouse
FRANKFURT, Germany–(BUSINESS WIRE)– European DataWarehouse (ED) is pleased to announce that BPER Banca S.p.A. (BPER) has become the first issuer to publish and upload a covered bond (BPER OBG1) in EDwin, ED’s platform.
Covered bonds are dual recourse debt instruments secured by typically a cover pool of mortgage loans or public-sector debt with full recourse to the issuer. Bondholders have a preferential claim against the cover pool in priority to the unsecured creditors of the issuing credit institution.
The publication of the first covered bond in EDwin is an important milestone for ED in achieving its ultimate goal for fostering transparency throughout the financial markets.
Commenting on these developments, ED’s CEO Christian Thun stated:
“Improving transparency for investors in the European financial markets has been the foundation and mandate for ED from its inception. With this in mind, I am delighted and honoured that BPER has chosen ED for the publication of the relevant information of its covered bond. With this decision BPER is setting a new benchmark in covered bond transparency supporting the transmission of information to rating agencies and other relevant parties.”
In this regard, BPER’s CFO Roberto Ferrari stated:
“We are proud to provide full disclosure on the cover pool details referred to our first Covered Bond Programme, totally collateralized with residential mortgage loans. We reckon that the same process established years ago for ABS could also be easily managed for covered bonds in order to let investors have full access and confidence in the underlying credit portfolio and its quality. In this regard the ECB RMBS template is the most favourable market standard to provide detailed information.”
Also, LINKS’s Banking Division Director Leonardo Mangia said:
“As a consultant of ED and IT&Data integrator, we have supported BPER for the first publication of relevant information about its Covered Bond in EDwin. We believe that improving data accessibility to investors is very important and therefore LINKS will continue advising and supporting banks in reaching this objective”.
