Fitch Rates Bank of Ceylon s Subordinated Debt AA(lka)(EXP) Ratings Endorsement Policy
12 Sep 2013 3:14 AM (EDT) Fitch Ratings-Colombo/Mumbai/Singapore-12 September 2013: Fitch Ratings Lanka has assigned Bank of Ceylon s (BOC; BB-/Stable) proposed subordinated debentures of up to LKR8bn an expected National Long-Term rating of AA(lka)(EXP).
The debentures are to be listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange. BOC expects to use the proceeds to strengthen the bank s regulatory Tier 2 capital base and reduce asset and liability maturity mismatches.
The final rating is pending final documents that confirm information already received, including details about the amount and tenor. A full rating breakdown is provided at the end of this commentary.
The proposed debentures are rated one notch below BOC s National Long-Term Rating of AA+(lka) to reflect their gone-concern loss-absorption quality in the event of a liquidation, in line with Fitch s criteria for rating such securities.
Key Rating Drivers
BOC s Long-Term Rating is driven by the government of Sri Lanka s high propensity but moderate ability to provide support to the bank under extraordinary circumstances. In Fitch s view, the state s high propensity to support BOC stems from the bank s systemic importance as the largest bank in the country, its quasi-sovereign status, its role as a key lender to the government and full government ownership. The state s moderate ability to provide timely support to BOC is reflected in the BB- /Stable rating.
Rating Sensitivities
Any change in Sri Lanka s rating or the perception of state support to BOC could result in a change in BOC s National Long-Term Ratings. The subordinated debt rating will move in tandem with the Long-Term Ratings.
Full list of BOC s ratings:
Long-term Foreign- and Local-Currency Issuer Default Ratings: BB-; Outlook Stable
Viability Rating: b+
Support Rating: 3
Support Rating Floor: BB-
USD senior unsecured notes: BB-
National Long-Term rating: AA+(lka) ; Outlook Stable
Outstanding subordinated debentures: AA(lka)
