SPD BANK(SH:600000) Zheng Quan Shi Bao Wang·2025-08-13 05:51Core Viewpoint - The rapid conversion of convertible bonds into common stock by Cinda Investment in Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPDB) highlights a new trend in managing convertible bond maturity pressures, reminiscent of the "Everbright model" [1][4]. Group 1: Convertible Bond Conversion - On June 27, Cinda Investment converted nearly 118 million SPDB convertible bonds into approximately 912 million shares of common stock, increasing SPDB's total share capital to about 30.264 billion shares [1][2]. - Prior to the conversion, SPDB had only seen a minimal conversion of its convertible bonds, with 99.9971% remaining unconverted as of March 2023 [2]. - Following the conversion, Cinda Investment holds about 912 million shares, representing 3.01% of SPDB's total share capital, placing it among the top ten shareholders [2]. Group 2: Background on Cinda Investment - Cinda Investment, established in August 2000, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Cinda, a central financial enterprise with total assets exceeding 1.6 trillion yuan as of the end of last year [2][3]. - The core business of China Cinda includes non-performing asset management and financial services [2]. Group 3: Market Context and Trends - The trend of converting convertible bonds into equity is seen as a strategy to alleviate maturity repayment pressures, especially when the underlying stock performs poorly [4][5]. - The case of Everbright Bank, where China Huarong converted a significant amount of its convertible bonds before maturity, serves as a precedent for this approach [4][5]. - As of June 30, SPDB's stock price was 13.88 yuan, which is 20% above the latest conversion price of 12.91 yuan, indicating potential challenges in achieving widespread conversion [6]. Group 4: Broader Market Dynamics - The banking sector has seen a rise in convertible bond conversions, with several banks triggering strong redemption clauses due to rising stock prices [7]. - Demand for bank convertible bonds remains high due to their strong credit quality and risk resistance, despite a stagnation in new issuances since 2023 [8].
