Shinkin International Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Shinkin Central Bank) was established in London in 1990 as an overseas base for securities business. The main goals of the company are to arrange and place private EMTN draw-downs, to trade secondary eurobonds and to provide broad investment opportunities. These activities are driven by the combined requirements of Shinkin Central Bank individual banks among the extensive shinkin network (approximately 80% of shinkin banks have bought EMTNs) other investors in Japan and elsewhere (sourced both through direct marketing and in co-operation with other arrangers). We are regulated in the UK by the Financial Services Authority.

Until 2004 the majority of deals were bermudan callable structures but a drop in the number of deals being called has made it more difficult to sell such notes since then. Significantly higher deal numbers and volumes achieved in 4 of the past 5 years due to bullet transactions which are now mostly vanilla. 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Total Issuance (JPY bn equiv) 600.0 500.0 400.0 300.0 200.0 100.0 0.0 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Shinkin International 14 Analysis of Deal History JPY has always been our most important issuance currency since many of our investors only have domestic operations in Japan. Extended marketing coverage in 2004 resulted in more USD flow and this was rekindled in 2009 as a result of a favourable cross-currency basis swap. Demand for EUR issues has been more sporadic but in 2009 we saw good demand. Proportion of callable business has declined progressively and last year accounted for just 4% of the total amount issued (but still 20% in terms of the number of transactions executed).

For the majority of these issuers we provide regular financing - in 56% of cases 3 or more transactions have been executed and there are 9 issuers benefitting from over 40 completed trades. Since 1999 we have added an average of 18 new issuers every year - but since the credit crunch investors have been much more conservative about taking new names.

Approximately 40% of all our issues have been arranged for the core European countries of Germany, France and the Netherlands plus the UK.
