Credito Valtellinese Scrl became the first bank to defer repaying callable bonds, opting to pay a penalty of 60 basis points in additional interest rather than face higher borrowing costs to sell new bonds. Barclays Capital, Credit Suisse Group and 27 other European banks have bonds callable this year, according to BNP data.
Banca Antonveneta SpA in Trieste asked the Bank of Italy to redeem 450 million euros ($707 million) of bonds due 2013 that become callable on April 23, the lender said yesterday. The bank faces a penalty rate of 150 basis points over interbank rates if it doesn't redeem the notes, more than the 145 basis-point yield spread on its existing debt, according to BNP.
``If the Bank of Italy doesn't authorize the call and the Antonveneta bonds step up, we would expect it to have some implications for the market,'' BNP's Frieser and Swenden wrote.
