To determine the priority for originating a hybrid bond transaction, a bank will evaluate each entity's existing capital structure, familiarity with the product, and near-term refinancing needs based on their historical issuance behavior: 1. **First (Entity B - ELECTRICITE DE FRANCE):** EDF is the most promising prospect. The data shows they have a massive and active hybrid bond profile, evidenced by large recurring annual distributions ("Payments To Holders Of Perpetual Subordinated Bonds" of €606M in 2022 and €547M in 2021) and recurring issues ("Proceeds From Issue Of Subordinated Liabilities" of €994M in 2022 and €1.235B in 2021). They are a frequent issuer with a large stock of outstanding hybrids that require regular refinancing as call dates approach. Furthermore, their significant net losses in 2022 suggest a strong need for equity-enhancing capital like hybrids to defend their credit ratings. 2. **Second (Entity C - TERNA S.P.A.):** Terna is the second most promising prospect. The data shows they recently issued an inaugural hybrid bond ("Equity Instruments Perpetual Hybrid Bonds" of €989M recognized in 2022). Having successfully navigated the structuring, rating agency methodology, and internal approvals for a hybrid, Terna is now a proven issuer in this asset class. While they may not have an immediate near-term call to refinance like EDF, their familiarity with the product makes pitching subsequent hybrid tranches to fund their CapEx pipeline far easier than educating a virgin issuer. 3. **Third (Entity A - REDEIA CORPORACION SA):** Redeia is the least promising near-term prospect. There is no trace of perpetual or subordinated debt on their balance sheet. Pitching an inaugural hybrid transaction requires significantly more time, strategic justification (e.g., funding a major acquisition or defending a rating downgrade), and internal education for management and the board. Without an existing hybrid footprint or a stressed capital structure requiring immediate equity support, originating a trade here will be an uphill battle compared to repeat issuers. B,C,A
