Scotiabank Strategic Priorities and Track Record
Canadian Bail-In Resolution Framework
•
Eligibility criteria for bail-in debt and conversion into common shares under the CDIC Act
-
-
Senior unsecured debt with original term to maturity > 400 days, issued or re-opened by a D-SIB after
regulations come into force
Tradeable and transferable; assigned a CUSIP, ISIN or similar designation
Excludes deposits, secured liabilities (e.g. covered bonds), eligible financial contracts (i.e. derivatives) and
structured notes
•
Mechanism - designed using no creditor worse off principle
-
-
Upon determination by OSFI that a bank has ceased to be viable, CDIC will take temporary
control/ownership and carry out bail-in conversion and/or other restructuring activities
Creditors should not incur greater losses through bail-in resolution than if institution had been wound-up
under normal insolvency proceedings
Respects relative creditor hierarchy; complete write-off of all subordinate ranking claims before converting
any bail-in securities (including legacy non-NVCC capital securities)
Legacy debt not subject to the bail-in regime but subject to other resolution regimes available to CDIC
Senior creditors should receive relatively better conversion terms vs. junior creditors
Bail-in risk mitigated by extremely low probability of event
Principles based approach to bail-in conversion
No explicit conversion ratio
