SBI to raise Rs 3,300 Crore via additional Tier-1 Bonds

Bank at a coupon of 9%.

State Bank of India (SBI),

the country's biggest
lender, is planning to raise
up to Rs.3,300 cr through
additional tier-1 or AT1
bonds to shore up capital
adequacy. This is the 2nd
time in recent months that
the SBI is looking to raise
funds via this route. In the
month of September, it
had issued AT1 bonds
worth Rs.2,100 cr to YES

CRISIL assigns AA+ for SBI Bonds:

CRISIL has assigned AA+ for these bonds. For arriving at the ratings, it has
combined the business and financial risk profiles of the bank and its subsidiaries,
including the associate banks, collectively termed as the SBI group. This is due to the
associate banks and subsidiaries being an integral part of SBI's growth strategy. As
per a senior executive of State Bank of India (SBI), the rates on long-term paper
have softened since the beginning of September. They want to be ready to take the
benefit of falling yields, he added.
The yield on 5-year government paper has declined from 7.02% in early September
to 6.71%; for 10-year paper, it has seen a dip from 7.12% level to 6.73% now.
CRISIL's ratings on the banks debt instruments not only factor in the SBI group's
dominant market position in the Indian banking sector, adequate capitalization,
strong resource profile, and profitability but also in the continued strong support
the bank is expected to receive from its majority owner, the Indian government,
both on an ongoing basis and in the time of distress.

SBI floated Nations very first AT1 Bonds in the ides of September:
In mid-September, SBI also floated Indias first overseas AT1 bond offering and
raised 300 million dollars. Albeit it pruned issue size from 500 million dollars to 300
million dollars on its tight pricing stance, the State Bank of India fixed the coupon at
5.5%. The price for this issue is estimated to become the benchmark for other banks
of the country planning similar overseas bond offering.

SBIs Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Common Equity Tier-1 (CET-1):
SBI's CAR - capital adequacy ratio was 14.01% in June 2016, as against 12% a year
ago. CET-1 or Common equity tier-1 was 10.71% in June this year, as against 9.59%
last year.
SBI's capital adequacy ratio (CAR) improved substantially in the first quarter of
FY17 because of gains from revaluation of real estate assets. It boosted Common
equity tier-1 (CET-1) by Rs.14,383 cr (72 bps).
