To determine the most promising prospects for originating a hybrid bond transaction, a bank would look at the entities' current capital structures, financial leverage (Net Debt / EBITDA), and history of hybrid issuance. Hybrid bonds are typically issued by capital-intensive companies to fund large capital expenditures while protecting their credit ratings, as rating agencies treat hybrid bonds partially as equity. 1. **Entity A (Terna S.p.A.)**: This is the most promising prospect. The data shows they are already an active user of the hybrid bond market, evidenced by the 989 million EUR recorded under `"Equity Instruments Perpetual Hybrid Bonds"` in 2022. In Investment Banking, a proven issuer with existing documentation, internal board approvals, and investor familiarity is always the first priority for repeat issuances or building out a hybrid curve. 2. **Entity C (Redeia Corporación S.A.)**: This is the second best prospect. They operate in the exact same highly regulated, capital-intensive sector (Transmission System Operator) as Entity A. Calculating their leverage yields an EBITDA of ~1.5 billion EUR and a Net Debt of ~6.4 billion EUR, giving them a high Net Debt/EBITDA multiple of roughly ~4.3x. Because they do not yet have hybrid bonds on their balance sheet, this high leverage makes them a prime candidate for an inaugural hybrid bond issuance to fund capex without triggering a credit rating downgrade. 3. **Entity B (A2A S.p.A.)**: This is the least promising prospect. A calculation of their financial leverage shows an EBITDA of ~1.5 billion EUR and Net Debt of ~4.3 billion EUR, resulting in a much lower Net Debt/EBITDA multiple of ~2.8x. Because they have comfortable headroom in their credit metrics, they can easily rely on cheaper, conventional senior debt rather than needing to issue more expensive hybrid bonds. A,C,B
