Capital Securities
All Capital Securities are perpetual and have no expiration date.
The distribution on the Capital Securities per issue is as follows:
Issue of EUR 1,500 million - The distribution is 5.5% per
year and is made payable every six months in arrears as
of the issue date (22 January 2015), for the first time on
29 June 2015.The Capital Securities are perpetual and
first redeemable on 29 June 2020. Capital Securities are
recognised as equity, as there is no formal obligation to repay
the principal or to pay the periodic dividend. These Capital
Securities comply with the current rules, the so-called CRD IV
and CRR requirements, concerning additional tier 1 capital.
The conditions include the requirement that the securities
must not pay starter interest and must absorb losses if
a certain trigger is reached. In that case, the relevant amount
will be debited from the principal.The debiting will occur
on a pro rata basis with other additional tier 1 instruments.
This instrument has two triggers: One at Rabobank Group
level and the other at the level of Rabobank with the local
Rabobanks (Local Rabobank Group). For Rabobank Group,
the trigger is at a common equity tier 1 ratio of 7%, and for
the Local Rabobank Group at 5.125% respectively; this series
of Capital Securities absorbs losses from that point onwards.
As of 29 July 2020, and subject to Capital Securities not being
redeemed early, the distribution is set for a further five-year
period, but without a step-up, based on the 5-year euro swap
rate 5.25%.
