Escrow of energy sales by SEBs, property or other taxed by Municipalities In addition, BPO, rent receivables have also been escrowed Applications Entities with a high asset turnover ratio where escrowing a small portion pf revenues could benefit a significant portion of the funding mix Entities having a regular inflow of stable non-operating cash flows like rentals ASSIGNMENT FLOWS OF FUTURE • Future sales of goods with a ready market and relative price stability are assigned to an SPV. These are usually commodities or utilities • Key risks: Price risk and generations risk • Generation Risk of the said good/service is linked to the likelihood of continuance in operations of the facility operated can be mitigated by standby operator Generated and assigned over a period. Cash paid upfront Earnings Power etc Receivables User Responsibility for operating facility to generate receivables Bonds SPE Cash Investor Cash Standby Operator A SSIGNMENT OF FUTURE FLOWS Applications Entities with take or pay contract with a highly rated customer for any good or service Entities producing a highly marketable commodity like oil, gas etc. S ECURITIZATION - BASICS Securitization is the pooling of “homogeneous”, “financial"," cash flow producing”, “illiquid” assets and issuing claims on those assets in the form of marketable / tradable securities Typically, a lender / originator advances a loan to borrower and over a period of time, he expects to receive repayment of principal and interest. In securitization, the lender / originator sells the right to receive the future receivables to a third party and receives the present value of the receivables at the initiation of the transaction The higher yield associated with these securities attracts investors who are willing to bear the associated credit, prepayment and liquidity risk S ECURITIZATION - BASICS The basic principles of direct assignment remain the same - the only difference being that the investor records the transaction as ‘loans’ in its books and doesn’t invest in a tradable security The originator also provides an upfront credit enhancement in the transaction to cover for the shortfalls in the pool because of borrower defaults; The primary advantage of securitization is the flexibility provided in terms of unbundling of risks and allocation of the same to various parties who are able to manage those risks S ECURITIZATION - BASICS Securitization involves sale, transfer, pledge of specified assets to a Bankruptcy-remote Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) The SPV in turn issues Notes (Pass Through Certificates) to investors in order to fund the purchase of the assets Investors (banks, insurance companies, and specialised funds) rely on the cash flows (principal, interest and sale proceeds when sold after foreclosure) generated by the underlying assets to pay interest and principal on the notes The risk associated with the assets is stratified by looking at historical default and loss information Generally, the Originator remains the Servicer of the pool of the assets it had sold to the SPV Key Features of Securitization All the risks and rewards associated with underlying pool are transferred to the buyer The transaction structure should be such that the bankruptcy of the seller does not affect the underlying pool There is no recourse to seller once the underlying pool is sold Key Features of Securitization Pass Through – Refers to securitization structure where the SPV makes payments, or rather, passes payments to the investors, on the same periods, and subject to the same fluctuations, as are there in the actual receivables viz. amount collected every month is passed through to investors, after deducting fees and expenses. Pay Through – Where the payment to the investors are routed through SPV who does not strictly pay the investors only when the receivables are collected by it, but keeps paying on the stipulated dates irrespective of the collection dates. In order to allow for smoothed payment to investors by removing the fluctuations in its collections, the SPV uses a guaranteed investment contract or credit enhancements or both. Credit enhancements – Refers to one or more initiatives taken by the originator in a securitization structure to enhance the security, credit or the rating of the securitised instrument. Loan to value ratio – In case of asset based lending, means the amount of loan as a percent of the value of the asset on which the loan is secured. S ECURITIZATION VS . TRADITIONAL DEBT Securitization Isolation of pool – true sale Claim only against the pool – no impact of issuer bankruptcy Traditional Debt The issuer holds the assets – provides security Claim against company the issuer Typically both principal and interest repaid monthly Monthly interest; principal payments Credit enhancement helps in getting a higher rating than the issuer Rating cannot be higher than the issuer debt rating bullet Securitization vs Bilateral Assignment Receivables based financing Loan/Advance Debenture Backed by charge & Escrow Full Recourse On Balance Sheet No capital Relief No gain on Sale Bilateral or CMI Bilateral Assignment of receivables between Originator & Purchaser Limited Recourse Off Balance Sheet Release of capital Possible gain on Sale No capital market investors Securitization vide issue of tradable instruments by an SPV Limited Recourse Off Balance Sheet Release of capital Possible gain on Sale Banks and capital market investors Securitization through issue of tradable instruments would attract a wider investor base and thereby result in lower cost of funds to the Originator Bilateral Assignment: Structure Diagram Originator Lease/Loan/Other Agreements Obligors Purchase Consideration Assignment Of Receivables Credit Rating Agency Payment towards Obligation Purchaser/ Investor Servicer Credit Enhancement Credit enhancement and rating may be optional in a bilateral transaction depending on the comfort of the purchaser / investor PARTIES TO A SECURITISATION Originator Initial owner of the assets Sells its asset to the SPV Obligor Contractual debtor to Originator Pays cashflows that are securitised SPV Set up specifically for transaction Purchases assets from Originator Company/Trust/ Mutual Fund Investors Subscribe to securities issued by SPV PARTIES TO A SECURITISATION Servicer Collects monies from Obligors, monitors and maintains assets Receiving & Paying Agent Banker for the deal.

The investor pays a premium to receive the excess interest spread In return, investor is entitled to receive scheduled principal repayments along with a contracted yield In return, investor receives the entire cash flows generated from the pool Typically, interest generated on the pool is higher than the yield to the investor, the difference is called excess interest spread (EIS) No excess interest in the structure EIS provides credit support to the investors. the originator retains a subordinated right to receive the EIS. The rating takes care of the fact that the investor payouts are higher and credit enhancement is calculated accordingly Prepayments in the underlying pool are passed on to the investor As investor principal outstanding is higher than the pool principal, the credit enhancement is utilized to cover the prepayment shortfall B ENEFITS OF SECURITIZATION Efficient use of capital Off balance sheet treatment and hence release of a portion of capital tied up by these assets Allows the company to continuously churn assets and expand business volumes even when capital availability is scarce Balance sheet management Off-balance sheet treatment and upfront profit generated has a positive impact on financial results like Return of Assets, Earnings per share, Net spread etc. Alternate Source of Funding Securitization is an alternative source of funding that does not use up limits set up by banks / institutions on the company and allows allocation of funds by investors over and above these limits B ENEFITS OF SECURITIZATION Rating enhancement resulting in lower cost of funds Capital markets and other investors demand yields linked to the rating of the issuers for direct debt investment Securitization enables a company to achieve a rating several notches above its standalone rating and thereby lower its cost of funding Converting illiquid assets to liquid assets Preserving customer relationships Securitization allows transfer of credit risk while preserving existing relationships with customers Typically, the originator acts as servicer for the transaction and hence continues to be the point of interaction with the obligors. O RIGINATOR ’ S Structure of securitization may vary significantly based on the priority of objectives of the originator OBJECTIVES Each originator should define the objectives desired to be achieved through the proposed securitization transaction in order of priority Access to an alternate source of funds / investor class Optimization of regulatory capital requirement Rating enhancement and reduction in cost of funds Balance sheet management : liquidity, asset-liability matching, debtequity ratio Limited recourse financing Risk management – Sector exposure / company exposure What can be Securitized Receivables Example Existing/Overdue Trade Receivables Accruing Lease Receivables Future- with off take Power Purchase Future- without off take Credit Card/MTNL Billing Assignability Future- without framework Air India Ticket Sales ?

NPA are provided as per the RBI norms NBFC Originators – Incentive, Impacts No standard provisioning requirement. Relaxed provisioning norms compared to Banks. Hence longer collection cycles, higher delinquencies compared to Banks Bank NBFC To be fully deducted out of capital. No reset allowed. Basel applicability?? Bank Capital knock off for Collateral As per Basel – Rated piece (typically BBB) as per rating (typically 100% risk weight & 9% capital). Unrated to be fully deducted. No reset. Profit (IRR from pool – Sell down rate – expected collection cost – Expected credit losses) to be amortised by the seller NBFC Originators – Incentive, Impacts Profit (IRR from pool – Sell down rate – expected collection cost – Expected credit losses) to be amortised by the seller Profit NBFC Cost of funds Bank Originators – Incentive, Impacts Proceeds from securitisation have no CRR/SLR requirement Reduces priority sector requirement Reduces cost of funds. More important in case of Non Asset Finance NBFCs where provisioning requirement by Banks is leading to higher costs BANKRUPTCY REMOTENESS True sale of assets from the seller to the trustee Legal separation of assets from the seller is achieved – investor is not exposed to credit worthiness of seller Credit enhancement and liquidity facility – bankruptcy remoteness achieved through rating triggers An independent legal opinion is taken post the transaction to cover all such legal issues P ERFORMANCE OF S ECURITISATIONS IN I NDIA Unlike US, the rise in delinquencies has not led to widespread downgrades or defaults in securitised papers Rating agencies largely pre-empted the deterioration in asset quality and have increased the credit enhancement requirement suitably Safety cover for investors has remained robust Till date, approximately 700 pools have been rated in India 38 pools have been downgraded so far Only 3 of which have been downgraded to speculative grade Some of these 38 pools have been upgraded back to AAA because of stable performance at later stages Key Risks Credit Risk It is the risk of non-payment of underlying obligors, which is dependent on underlying obligor’s ability and willingness to pay. The underlying obligor’s ability to pay is primarily driven by adequacy and stability of income Loan to value ratio and income generating capability of the underlying asset will indicate the obligor’s willingness to pay. Market Risk Macro Economic Risk – affects underlying asset valuation, income generating capacity, borrower’s income, market interest rates, change in regulations etc. Asset Risk - general risk perception of the asset; historic performance Prepayment Risk – prevailing and expected market interest rates and expected income levels will influence the prepayment rates Interest Rate Risk – mismatch may arise in case where the collections from underlying borrowers are based on fixed rate and the payouts to investors are based on floating rate and vice versa. Key Risks Counterparty Risk Servicer Risk – the ability of the servicer to service the pool over the tenure of the transaction Commingling Risk – The time lag between the collections from the underlying obligors and deposit into collection account give rise to commingling risk. Other Counterparty Risk – The presence of other counterparties like collection account bank, credit collateral provider etc. give rise to performance risk. Legal Risk
