AFM WORKSHOP MARCH21 - 2

May 8, 2026

This document contains questions and a case study related to financial management, likely for an exam or workshop. The case study describes Levanto, a company with long-term borrowing needs of $250 million for a project. They are considering issuing a new 4% bond at par, which corresponds to a market price of $98.71. The company also has existing bonds that are trading at a premium, with a yield of 5.67%. The document asks to calculate the expected percentage fall in the market value of the existing bond if Levanto's credit rating falls from AA to A. It also requires advice on the financial implications of two options for issuing the new bond: issuing at a fixed coupon of 5% at a premium or discount, or issuing at the market rate. Finally, it lists criteria used by credit agencies for establishing a company's credit rating, including industry risk, earnings protection, financial flexibility, and management evaluation. The document is structured with multiple choice-like questions and requires calculations and advice.
