To prioritize the most promising prospects for originating a hybrid bond transaction, a bank would typically look for companies that already utilize hybrid capital (as they are familiar with the instrument and will likely need to refinance existing hybrid bonds at their call dates) or those with significant capital expenditure programs requiring rating-supportive funding. 1. **Entity C (ENGIE):** ENGIE is the most promising prospect. They have the largest outstanding stack of hybrid capital, recorded as "Deeply Subordinated Perpetual Notes" amounting to €3.39 billion at the end of 2022. Furthermore, their cash flow statements show active "Operations On Deeply Subordinated Perpetual Notes" (-€451 million in 2022 and -€275 million in 2021), indicating that they are actively managing, calling, or repurchasing these instruments, which brings immediate refinancing and liability management opportunities for a bank. 2. **Entity A (TenneT Holding B.V.):** TenneT is the second most promising prospect. They have a substantial and stable existing hybrid bond stack ("Hybrid Capital" of €2.125 billion). Additionally, their financial data shows massive, ongoing capital expenditures (over €4.4 billion in 2022) with long-term borrowings jumping from €12.3 billion to €19 billion. This aggressive increase in leverage makes them a prime candidate for originating new hybrid bonds to support their credit ratings while funding their grid investments. 3. **Entity B (REDEIA CORPORACION SA):** REDEIA is the least promising prospect. A review of their balance sheet reveals no existing hybrid capital or deeply subordinated notes. Pitching a hybrid bond transaction to a first-time issuer is generally a heavier lift compared to pitching to active or existing issuers, placing them last in the priority list. C,A,B
