The difference between issuing corporate bonds and other financing methods
Compared with traditional financing methods such as commercial bank loans (indirect financing) and stock issuance, direct financing methods such as issuing corporate bonds, corporate bonds and short-term financing bills have the following advantages:
Relax the restrictions on issuers: state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, listed companies and unlisted companies can issue bonds as long as they are large enough to meet the conditions.
Term advantage: Corporate bonds are medium-and long-term financing with a term of 3- 10 years, which can be issued in two phases and three phases, and enterprises can choose freely; Bank loans are mainly short-term liquidity, which cannot meet the needs of enterprises for medium and long-term project funds.
Financing cost: reduce financing cost and spread financing risk. The financing cost of bonds is directly related to factors such as credit rating, guarantee and issuance period. Moreover, China is in the channel of raising interest rates, so issuing corporate bonds can lock in interest rates and avoid the risk of raising interest rates.
Efficiency of examination and approval: Corporate bonds are a kind of financing products strongly recommended and supported by the state. Once the issuance conditions are met, it will be approved, the funds will be in place in one step, and the balance will be underwritten by the brokerage firm.
Use of funds: The funds raised by corporate bonds are flexible and can be used for projects, supplementing liquidity, optimizing financial structure and repaying bank loans.
Innovate financing methods and expand financing channels. Keep pace with the times, innovate and develop, and the sources of funds are rich, and the foundation of enterprise development is of course more stable; Improve capital structure and improve management efficiency. Appropriately increasing the ratio of assets to liabilities and rationally using financial leverage can not only urge managers to strengthen internal management and external coordination, but also pay attention to operational efficiency and improve the unit profit level of enterprises;
Advantages and disadvantages of corporate bonds
One of the advantages is that the interest rate is unlimited. Article 18 of the Regulations on the Administration of Corporate Bonds stipulates that "the interest rate of corporate bonds shall not be higher than 40% of the bank's resident time deposit interest rate for the same period". There is no provision for interest rate in the Pilot Measures for Corporate Bond Issuance. In the interest rate hike cycle, corporate bonds have a broader space for innovation in the design of coupon rate.
The second advantage is that the issuance conditions are relaxed. Article 12 of the Regulations on the Administration of Corporate Bonds stipulates that "an enterprise must meet the following conditions when issuing corporate bonds: (1) the scale of the enterprise meets the conditions stipulated by the state; Staff management (2) The enterprise's financial accounting system conforms to the provisions of the state; (3) Being solvent; (4) The enterprise has good economic benefits and made profits for three consecutive years before issuing corporate bonds; (5) The use of raised funds conforms to the national industrial policy ". Article 7 of the "Pilot Measures for the Issuance of Corporate Bonds" stipulates that "the issuance of corporate bonds shall meet the following conditions: (1) The company's production and operation conform to the provisions of laws, administrative regulations and the company's articles of association, and conform to the national industrial policy; (2) The internal control system of the company is sound, and there are no major defects in the integrity, rationality and effectiveness of the internal control system; (3) The credit rating agency has a good credit rating on the bonds; (4) The audited net assets of the company at the end of the latest period are in compliance with laws, administrative regulations and relevant provisions of China; (5) Interest on corporate bonds with an average annual distributable profit of not less than one year in the last three fiscal years. (6) The accumulated balance of corporate bonds after this issuance shall not exceed 40% of the net assets at the end of the latest period; The accumulated corporate bond balance of financial companies is calculated according to the relevant regulations of financial enterprises. "
In contrast, the corporate bonds of real estate project management companies do not have the requirement of making profits for three consecutive years, and of course there are requirements for the balance ratio of bonds. As for the distributable profits, it is not high for most listed companies.
The third advantage is that the issue time is wider and it can be issued in stages. Article 15 of the Regulations on the Administration of Corporate Bonds stipulates that "after the issuance of bonds is approved by the People's Bank of China, the issuer shall start issuing bonds within three months from the date of approval, otherwise the original approval documents will automatically become invalid; If the enterprise still needs to issue bonds, it shall be submitted for approval separately. " Article 21 of the Pilot Measures for the Issuance of Corporate Bonds stipulates that "to issue corporate bonds, you can apply for approval at one time and issue them in installments. From the date when China approves the issuance, the company shall issue the first issue within six months, and the rest shall be issued within twenty-four months. If it is not issued within the time limit stipulated in the approval document, it must be re-approved by China before it can be issued. "
The fourth advantage is that you can avoid guarantees. Article 36 of the Regulations on the Administration of Corporate Bonds stipulates that "the issuer shall provide guarantee before the issuance of bonds, except that it may be exempted from providing guarantee with the approval of the People's Bank of China. Only after the guarantee work is approved by the People's Bank of China can bonds be issued ". There is no mandatory provision for the issuance of corporate bonds.
The fifth advantage is that it can be traded across the market. Article 7 of the Regulations on the Administration of Corporate Bonds stipulates that "the custodian-the China Government Securities Depository and Clearing Co., Ltd. which handles the general registration and custody of book-entry bonds and the lead underwriter who handles the registration and secondary custody of such bonds". The "Pilot Measures for the Issuance of Corporate Bonds" does not adopt the provision in the Exposure Draft that "corporate bonds shall be uniformly registered and managed by China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation", which means that corporate bonds may be managed by China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation or by China Government Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation, which will enable corporate bonds to be traded in the exchange market and the interbank market at the same time. /kloc-0 At the beginning of 0/0, the People's Bank of China announced its support for the issuance, trading circulation and registration and custody of corporate bonds in the inter-bank bond market. According to the principle of market-oriented operation, corporate bonds approved by other administrative departments can be issued, traded and registered in the inter-bank bond market after corresponding procedures are fulfilled, which further clarifies the way of cross-market trading of corporate bonds.
