Following a Bloomberg news story citing unnamed officials outlining a tapering strategy to end bond purchases by the ECB, the generic 10-year German government bond yield increased by 14bp from a week earlier to the close yield on Friday of 0.054%. • The ECB’s asset purchase programmes are scheduled to end in March 2017 and ECB-watchers are looking towards the central bank’s December meeting for a decision on how (and if) the purchase programme will be extended. • Over the weekend, there was no notable development in the Deutsche Bank situation as no agreement had been reached between the US Department of Justice and Deutsche Bank management. • iTraxx indices range-traded during the week and ended the week marginally wider, except for the Senior Financials, which tightened 3bp w/w. • Last week we saw EUR5.6bn in non-financial EUR deals, circa NOK2.5bn in NOK and SEK2.3bn of non-financial volume in the SEK market, of which one-third was high-yield.

In total the ECB has now purchased bonds under the CSPP totalling EUR32bn. In relation to total purchased volume, the average holding of each ISIN (dividing the total purchased amount by the number of ISINs held) has continued to rise to a staggering EUR50m per ISIN., compared with an average issue size of EUR725m for the ISINs purchased so far. • See table on the right for newly purchased issues. Some of the new issues were also new issues in the market, indicating a number of primary participations by the ECB. • In terms of the split of purchases so far, bonds from German issuers represent a much larger share of purchased issues than the ECB’s benchmark would imply, based on outstanding market volumes. Over time, the purchases should reflect the market benchmark.

This, together with a forthcoming asset sale, suggests potential for some further improvement in credit metrics (end Q2 reported LTV: 47%; with S&P’s adjustments 53%). • We also expect Akelius’s secured LTV to decline gradually towards its 25% target for 2018 (end-Q2 33%). In our view, this means that at some stage S&P should remove its notching from Akelius’s bonds. • Considering the high likelihood of a ratings upgrade, we consider Akelius 3.375% 2020s (currently rated BB+) in EUR to offer an attractive pick-up relative to other European real estate names. • Chart 1. Relative value, indicative mid spreads 50 Looking at historical property prices, it appears residential property prices normally decline much less than commercial property prices during an economic downturn. At end June, Akelius unencumbered assets to outstanding bonds and CPs was a high 5.0x. • See Property Sector Update: Sweden and Finland: focus on residentials, 12 September 2016 • See Trade idea - Buy Akelius 2020s in EUR - Buy Victoria Park 2020s in SEK , 15 September 2016 350 160 300 140 120 100 200 80 COFBBB (NR/NR) 1,929% '22 SATOYH (Baa3/NR) ATRSAV (NR/BBB-) SATOYH (Baa3/NR) 2,375% '21 4% '20 SDAVFH (NR/NR) 2,25% '20 3,375% '18 CITCON (Baa1/BBB) CITCON (Baa1/BBB) 1,25% '26 2,5% '24 SATOYH (NR/NR) CITCON (Baa1/BBB) 3,375% '19 2,375% '22 100 • 250 AKFAST (NR/BB+) ATRSAV (NR/BBB-) 3,375% '20 3,625% '22 SDAVFH (NR/NR) 2,375% '20 150 Akelius has a strategy to focus on growth through investing in low-risk residential properties that generate stable cash flow over time.

Swedish residential companies on average have a lower leverage than peers in the commercial property segment. • Considering Victoria Park’s focus on the more stable residential market and its long average debt maturity profile, we consider its bonds to be attractively priced compared with sector peers such as D. Carnegie, Heimstaden and Hemfosa. • As of end-June, Victoria Park reported a gross LTV (excluding preference shares in debt) of 64% (net LTV 52%). Following recent transactions we estimate a gross LTV of around 65%. • Chart 1. Relative value, indicative mid spreads 350 300 250 200 150 • In mid-July, Victoria Park announced its largest acquisition to date, totalling 1,900 apartments in Malmö and Karlskrona for a total price of SEK1.8bn. Earlier this week the company made an equity issue, raising SEK344m in new equity, which to us demonstrates its commitment to its stipulated financial policy (Max LTV: 65%). • See Property Sector Update: Sweden and Finland: focus on residentials, 12 September 2016 • See Trade idea - Buy Akelius 2020s in EUR - Buy Victoria Park 2020s in SEK , 15 September 2016 101.2 CORESS FRN '19 CORESS FRN '19 (SEK)VICPAS FRN '20 (SEK) FPARSS (SEK) FRN '20 FPARSS FRNKLOVSS '19 FRN '20 (SEK) (SEK) (SEK) SAGAX FRN '21 (EUR) CORESS FRN '18 FPARSS FRN '19 (SEK) SAGAX FRN '21 (SEK) (SEK) HEIMST FRN '19 SAGAX FRN '20 (EUR) KLOVSS FRN '19 (SEK) VICPAS FRN '18 SAGAX FRN '19 (EUR) (SEK) (SEK)FRN '18 FPARSS SAGAX FRN '20 (SEK) (SEK) SAGAX FRN '19 (SEK) CORESS FRN '17 KLOVSS FRN '18 (SEK) KLOVSS (SEK)FRN '18 SAGAX (SEK) FRN '18 (SEK) FPARSS FRN '16 (SEK) 400 Victoria Park is a Swedish real estate company, which specialises in acquiring, developing and managing housing properties in growth areas in Sweden.

HRC steel is SSAB's largest product in its European operations, about 80-90% of volumes in Europe (so about two-thirds of steel business revenues). The duties on Plate were higher than the market had expected, while the duties on HRC were slightly lower. HRC prices have risen since the beginning of the year (from EUR320/t to EUR452/t on 7 October). Part of the rise has been in anticipation of import duties from the EU, which has already led to reduced imports from Asia (remember that duties can be applied to exporters retrospectively). Nonetheless, this is positive as it will serve as a hand under European steel prices. Note that this will not impact the stainless steel market (i.e. Outokumpu). We have a Marketweight recommendation on SSAB as we believe its trades tight relative to the 'B+' implied industrial rating curve. PostNord (MW): For the past couple of months, there has been significant media attention regarding PostNord. In essence, the number of complaints about late and missing deliveries has risen dramatically this year. Most of this is attributable to the significant restructuring that PostNord is undertaking as mail volumes are falling. We believe the recent turmoil will make a chance of a nearterm IPO of PostNord even more remote, as politicians and the public demand increased focus on the mail delivery service obligation, rather than cost efficiency or new ventures. This should increase the importance of PostNord’s credit standing for the government. Unfortunately, reform of the postal legislation in Sweden will be impeded. A report preceding legislation has recently suggested some increased flexibility in e. g. delivery times, which is now increasingly unlikely, putting pressure on PostNord’s earnings and cash flow. Looking ahead, a potential risk is that PostNord’s brand will be impaired in the logistics and growing e-commerce businesses, impairing top-line as well. In the past years, PostNord has managed to protect earnings despite volume decline and large capex, but we will look out for signs in coming quarters that the current problems impact the business in a significant way. PostNord’s SEK 2019 bonds are trading some 15bp wider than credit quality peers like Skanska and Telia, which is fair given current uncertainty. We have a Marketweight recommendation on PostNord. Implication Credit positive Credit neutral Source: Danske Bank Markets 11 Company news from the past week (high yield/unrated) Name News SAS (B2/S) reported decent traffic numbers for September with a 7.6% increase in traffic on the back of a 7% increase in capacity - leading to a slight increase in capacity utilisation to 77.6%. The weak spot is a 8% currency-adjusted decline in average ticket prices. SAS stated that: ‘the overall Scandinavian market capacity has increased resulting in intensive competition. This combined with lower jet fuel prices has put pressure on the yield that has declined more than anticipated in 2016’. SAS We have seen the same trends from other carriers in recent months. SAS 2017 priced to call (call @102.25). SAS Conv. 2019 looks attractively valued trading wider than the B curve and some c.180bp pick-up to the NAS 19. However, this reflects a weaker operating model with no asset backing left in SAS. Overall we see traffic numbers as credit neutral to SAS. On 6 October, Victoria Park (Overweight) and Heimstaden (Marketweight) announced with Balder (Marketweight) and the municipal property company in Malmö MKB that they plan to form a new joint venture in relation to a development project called ‘Culture Casbah’ in the area of Rosengård in Malmö. Rosengård is a troubled area but with a fairly central location in the city and the idea is to make the area part of central Malmö by developing it further. Part of the project includes the construction of Victoria Park, 200 new apartments, some 30 commercial facilities and a new 22-story tower. The new company will Heimstaden and also acquire some 1650 existing apartments in the area. The project is still in a very early phase and consequently there is no financial information available yet, but we assume that the participating Balder companies will put in their pro rata share of equity in the new company while the remaining part should be debt-financed. Business-wise we regard the announcement as positive especially for Victoria Park that is already present in Rosengård and hence could benefit in case property values rise as the area is developed in a positive way. We maintain our Overweight recommendation on Victora Park's SEK bonds with a Marketweight on Heimstaden and Balder. NAS reported continued high increase in passenger traffic (up 21% y/y) in September on the back of a 19% capacity increase - primarily intercontinental. This resulted in a load factor increase of 1.2pp to 89.4% in September - solid! However, after several months of almost unchanged average ticket prices y/y despite the high increase of capacity, NAS reported an 8% decrease in average ticket prices in September. Although some of it could be currency related, we believe investors could see this as a first Norwegian Air sign that NAS is not immune to the increased capacity and hence price pressure in European-based Shuttle (NAS) aviation. Over the past months we have seen several profit warnings from peers like Lufthansa, BA and easyJet. However, we do not want to exaggerate the impact of one month’s traffic numbers and we will watch the coming month’s traffic numbers and average ticket prices closely. Overall we believe NAS will report strong Q3 results on 20 October, which should support the bonds. We see bond spreads as fair at current levels. Implication Credit neutral Credit positive Credit negative Source: Danske Bank Markets 12 Company news from the past week (high yield/unrated) Name Corem News Regarding Ericsson's announcement of a potential closing down/reduction of production in Borås and Kumla, this will affect Corem (Marketweight) that has logistics/office facilities in both cities with Ericsson as its main customer. According to Corem, Ericsson today constitutes roughly 4% of total rental income (with its share having been reduced in recent years). Contracts have been renegotiated relatively recently and currently expire around 2019. This gives some time for adaptation. Clearly Ericsson's announcement is a negative but Corem has previously been through a similar process in Hudiksvall and Falun, which are weaker cities, and as both Borås and Kumla are decent from a logistics perspective, the adaptation process should be easier this time around. We maintain a Marketweight recommendation on Corem.

Being ‘BBB+’ rated, Caruna trades between the ‘BBB-’ and the ‘BBB’ curve. • We believe the Caruna 1.5% 2023s trade at wide levels due to a lack of name recognition. Caruna is a relatively new issuer and we believe many investors have yet to get properly acquainted with this name. • Caruna’s business risk profile is excellent. This is because 100% of its earnings originate from Finnish power distribution activities. Income from these assets is fully regulated by the Finnish authorities. This provides a very high degree of earnings and cash flow visibility in the short to medium term The regulator has recently adjusted the model to the benefit of Caruna. • Chart 1. Relative value, indicative mid spreads Mid Spread (EUR)* 90 • Despite being a fairly new company, Caruna’s operating activities have a very long track record, as the company is based on Fortum’s Finnish distribution activities. • Caruna is the result of a leveraged acquisition, with infrastructure and pension funds acquiring Fortum’s Finnish grid in a leveraged transaction. This has made the ownership structure and corporate structure relatively complex. We consider inter-creditor agreements and covenant protections adequate to offset the complexity risks. • We struggle to justify the recent underperformance of Caruna relative to its Finnish peer Elenia. • See Initiation of coverage - Caruna, 24 August. • See Buy Caruna 1.5% 2023 outright, 3 October 2016.

Carlsberg states this is illogical and contradicts government policy to reduce alcohol abuse. Overall this underlines the difficult market conditions in Russia. The Russian beer market is dominated by foreign companies and hence makes it an easy target for the Russian government to find additional tax revenue. Russia accounts for c. 15% of Group EBIT for Carlsberg, hence this move will only have minor impact on group earnings/metrics. In 2010 Russia accounted for around 50% of Group EBIT! Overall Credit neutral. TDC (MW). Article in 7 October edition of Berlingske on the Apollo/TDC story and possible reasons for a potential PE take-over. The article argues that the most likely rationale for a PE fund to take over is to split off TDC's cable business (YouSee) and merge it with Com Hem. The article establishes an old link between Apollo and BC Partners (the current owner of Com Hem). Both PE funds were in a (losing) bidding consortium back in 2005 when TDC was taken private initially. By merging YouSee and GET (TDC's cable business) with Com Hem, the PE funds could create a strong Nordic cable provider which would have more leverage when negotiating with cable content providers. The remaining parts of TDC (mobile, corporate mobile and wholesale) could be sold to other participants on the Danish market or to participants wishing to enter. The article does not change anything, in our view, but provides an interesting perspective as to why a PE take-over is not as farfetched as some market participants think it is Nordea (UW). According to a Dutch newspaper, Nordea and ABN Amro have discussed merging and the Dutch have rejected the proposal. As Nordea is about twice the size of ABN, it would be the acquiring unit and Nordea could move its head office to Amsterdam. The reasoning behind the merger should be to avoid the tougher capital requirements in Sweden. We doubt that such a large merger between banks would be approved by the authorities given the intensive work on avoiding banks being too-big-to-fail and too complex. Regarding ‘Tier 3’. On Wednesday the ECB announced that it has changed its eligibility criteria for senior unsecured bonds and from 2017 senior unsecured bonds that are statutorily subordinated will be eligible, while contractual subordinated senior bonds will not – this is clearly a support to German senior debt. In our view, the ‘non-preferred’ senior (Tier 3) to be introduced in France should also be eligible. For Sweden, this could push a solution similar to the one expected in France, which would also make sense given that its documentation in Tier 2 currently conflicts with contractual subordination.

Last Monday after market close Moody's placed its BBB+ rating on review for downgrade following the announcement of a new structure with separation of the energy businesses. Moody’s stated the review will result in a downgrade of at least one notch, although ultimately the rating will depend on the amount of debt that will be allocated to the Shipping division as well as any remaining ownership interests in the Energy division. APMM has stated that it will target an IG rating in A.P. Møller - Maersk A/S (bond issuer entity) but has not commented if this means BBB or BBB-. We believe APMM will target a BBB rating as the Group will be much more exposed to shipping, which is poorly rated by rating agencies and volatile. Therefore we believe APMM will want to keep some slack in its metrics to prevent a downgrade to HY when/if the shipping industry is under pressure. Short-term maturities are trading tight vs a BBB rating but will continue to do so in our view due to the ample liquidity of APMM. Mid-dated maturities (EUR2021-2022) are trading at the BBB- curve, which is fair in our view due to the rating pressure combined with earnings pressure in key segments. Longer-dated bonds trade significantly wider than the BBB- curve and are attractively priced in our view but reflect uncertainty about the future rating level and the poor state of the shipping industry in general. We keep our Marketweight on APMM. Ericsson (MW) has come to a decision regarding its jobs cuts in Sweden. Ericsson has decided to cut 3,000 jobs (about 2% of its global work force) mainly in the Swedish operations. Both blue and whitecollar positions affected (Production, R&D, Sales and Administration). There has been a lot of speculation during the process where as much as 4-5,000 job cuts had been anticipated by some media sources, i.e. the number announced is somewhat lower than expectations most likely due to tough negotiations with unions. At the same time Ericsson announced that it will recruit about 1,000 people in R&D over the coming three years so the net cut will be closer to 2,000. The cuts will not increase savings beyond the SEK9bn 2017 target previously announced by Ericsson. Overall this announcement should not affect spreads to any significant degree, in our view. APMM (MW). The South Africa Competition Commission raided container shipping companies including Maersk - for potential rate fixing. However, this happens quite often and we note that alliances in the shipping industry are approved by i.e. the EU Commission, simply because they do not really impact rates – it is pure demand/supply that matters. Hence, we do not believe that this news will impact spreads. The short-term spread driver continues to be the uncertainty regarding the targeted credit rating. APMM has stated it will target IG but it is set to be BBB or BBB-. In a BBB- scenario investors will fear that APMM will not be able to keep metrics commensurate with IG in times of shipping downturns - hence some investors are worried that APMM could become a x-over case in reality. Implication Credit neutral Credit neutral Credit neutral Source: Danske Bank Markets 20 Company news from the past week (investment grade) Name Nordea News Nordea (UW). The Swedish FSA published a statement and held a press conference last Monday afternoon that clarified why the results of its SREP 2016 including a review of corporate risk weights and the results of its initial investigation of Nordea’s corporate risk weights opened in April differed. The initial investigation resulted in an extra capital need of up to SEK50-80bn (leaked in the media in June) compared to the SEK13.8m added to its capital requirements following the results of its SREP 2016 published 3 October. One of the primary reasons for the significant difference is that the initial analysis ‘made the assumption that Swedish economic conditions were representative for all of Nordea’s exposures to corporates, even though a significant portion of Nordea’s operations are outside of Sweden’. In relation to the SREP 2016, the FSA has had access to new data and worked closely together with other relevant regulatory authorities. Furthermore, it was clarified at the press conference that the question regarding Nordea’s corporate risk weights posed back in April has been answered/closed with this review, which should provide some comfort to the market.
