2014 CoCo Supplement to the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions

(published September 15, 2014)

The CoCo Supplement allows parties to expand the scope of events that trigger a Governmental Intervention Credit Event under the 2014 Definitions to include the operation of a CoCo provision, i.e. a provision that requires (i) a permanent or temporary reduction of the amount of principal payable at redemption or (ii) a conversion of principal into shares or another instrument, in each case, if the specified capital ratio falls below a certain level. The parties can specify a “Trigger Percentage” to determine which CoCo bonds will qualify (with a fallback if no Trigger Percentage is specified). This supplement is designed for use only with the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions.
