2. Commercial Paper

Page 10: CITI Recruiting Presentation (Nov-12)

Overview of Commercial Paper

What is Commercial Paper (“CP”)?

Promissory note with a fixed maturity of 397 days (13

months) or less

Issued by high quality banks, corporations and asset-

backed commercial paper issuers (“conduits”) that

typically are rated no lower than A-2/P-2 (BBB/Baa2)

Average tenor of the CP market is between 30 and 60

days

Deep source of liquidity for issuers with tight bid / ask

spreads and large ticket sizes ($50 million to $500

million)

CP is normally sold at a discount from the face value

specified on the note; the discount represents the

interest component to be paid to investors at maturity

CP is exempt from SEC registration requirements

under the Securities Act of 1933

Characteristics of CP

Standard documentation

Continuous offering process whereby the borrower is

constantly issuing paper to pay off or refund maturing

paper

Unlike bank borrowing facilities, a CP program allows

an issuer to issue CP with a call to its dealer during the

morning of the day it needs the funds

CP settles in same day funds and is paid at maturity in

same day funds

At maturity, CP can be repaid with the issuance of new

CP (“rolled”), paid-off completely or replaced with

permanent financing (e.g., long-term debt)

Wide range of financing applications, including:

working capital financing, receivables funding,

acquisition funding and bridge financing

The U.S. commercial paper (“USCP”) market has approximately $1.0 trillion in outstandings split between three

main sectors: asset-backed, bank/financial and non-financial commercial paper.

6 Commercial Paper

Page 11: CITI Recruiting Presentation (Nov-12)

Commercial Paper Considerations

Cost Efficiency ▲ On a comparative basis, CP is one of the most cost efficient, short-term taxable financing vehicles available

Flexibility ▲ CP offers a highly flexible form of financing by allowing issuers to structure the issuance and maturity dates of its

program to meet specific cash flow needs as well as investor preferences. CP can be used as a form of pre-

payable debt and is an alternative to floating rate debt

Structural Simplicity ▲ Documentation for a program is relatively simple and standardized, and the associated implementation costs are

minimal

Administrative Ease ▲ Once a program is up and running, ongoing administration should require relatively minimal time for one or two

people

Financing Versatility ▲ CP is an enormously flexible financing tool with a broad variety of applications for issuers, including:

– Working capital financing

– Receivables financing

– Acquisition funding

– Share repurchases

– Bridge financing

Ratings Driven Quality and ease of execution is directly related to the stability of an issuer’s ratings. Ratings deterioration can

be disruptive to market access

Bank Capacity Issuers are required by rating agencies to maintain a liquidity backstop for any CP notes outstanding.

Committed banklines are traditionally used to back-stop CP programs

Currency USCP market is U.S. dollar denominated only, while ECP is a multi-currency market

CP provides issuers with a cost effective, flexible capital markets funding tool.

USCP Outstandings vs. Money Fund Holdings Sample USCP Investor Breakdown

2a-7 money funds are the largest and most important investors in the USCP space
