
Morgan Stanley has
developed a trade
confirmation for use with
European leveraged loans

European Leveraged Loan CDS Market
Key Features of Trade Confirmation




Morgan Stanley has
developed the leveraged loan
CDS from the standard ISDA
form as a baseline
The CDS is not linked to any
single tranche, rather to a
ranking within the capital
structure
Adjustments were made to
accommodate the unique
nature of the loan product
and to enable the ISDA form
to deal with security and
ranking
•
Reference Entity – all obligors
•
Reference Obligation – Reference Credit Agreement, plus, New Tranches (permits the
ability to add tranches, for e.g., in the instance of a recapitalization, provided certain
tests are met)
•
Termination Event – full refinancing of all tranches relating to CDS
•
Any tranche within credit agreement can be delivered – cheapest to deliver concept
•
Credit Events:
1) Failure to Pay
2) Bankruptcy
3) Restructuring:
Voting rights were added to
ensure the Seller had the
ability to influence any future
creditor decisions
- Restrictions apply only if Buyer triggers under Restructuring
- Maturity limited to later of Mod Mod R or longest dated tranche before Restructuring
- Security diminished in Restructuring causes credit event, but cannot be delivered by Buyer
•
Physical settlement is the default, however, Seller has cash settlement option if unable
to receive physical or unwilling to accept participation

Leveraged LCDS:
Trading Strategies
Please see additional important disclosures at the end of this report.
24
Back-of-the envelope Pricing
Two possible approaches:
• Calculate premium/discount of loan in basis points (i.e., loan trading at 101 = 100bps premium)
• Divide premium/discount by number of years to maturity/repayment (i.e., assuming 2yr takeout: 100/2 = 50bps)
• Add discount to or subtract premium from spread of underlying loan (i.e., 225 – 50 = 150bps) OR
• Assume bond CDS and Loan CDS have same default probability and the recovery rate for LCDS is 70%
and for bond CDS is 40%
• Spread LCDS/Spread bond CDS = 1-R/1-R (where R is the recovery rate)
• 1-70%/1-40% = 30/60 = 0.5 (LCDS spreads should be 0.5 times bond CDS spreads)
