Spar Nord Equity - {0JH4 LI Equity}

  • Nykredit has made an offer for Spar Nord Bank of c.3.3bn EUR in cash.
  • Spar Nord's board will recommend the offer to shareholders
  • Nykredit starts with a CET1 ratio of 19.9%, back of the envelope analysis suggests that post the cash offer,  the bank would have an AT1 of 14.5%, and the group a CET1 of 14.9%.
  • Healthy capital generation means that when any transaction might close, the CET1 ratios would likely be higher than the above.

This likely represents good news for Spar Nord shareholders this morning which trade well wide of NYKRE curves. While Nykredit CET1 does move meaningfully lower due to the all-cash offer, a mix of capital healthy capital generation and good asset quality shouldn’t worry creditors overly. We would expect Spar Nords bonds to compress most of the way towards their potential acquirer today, given the massive premium in the offer..
