Based on the guidelines, the issuer most likely to need a hybrid bond is the one that is regulated, faces deteriorating credit metrics, has a material leverage improvement opportunity, and has an imminent refinancing need. - **Entity A (TenneT)** is a regulated transmission‑system operator with highly visible cash flows and currently shows negative net profit, a sharp rise in debt and a low FFO‑to‑debt ratio. A hybrid issuance would materially improve its leverage, help preserve its investment‑grade rating and address an upcoming hybrid‑refinancing requirement. This fits the “Strongly suitable” profile. - **Entity C (ENEL)** is a large utility with visible cash flows and also qualifies as “Strongly suitable.” Its leverage is high and a hybrid would improve ratios, but its credit metrics are more stable and the need to refinance an existing hybrid is less urgent than for TenneT. - **Entity B (ENI)** is an integrated energy company that is more industrial than regulated. Its credit profile is strong, leverage is low, and any hybrid issuance would be opportunistic rather than necessary, placing it in the “Marginally suitable” category. Therefore, the priority order for engaging the issuers is: **1. TenneT (A) – most urgent and strongly suitable** **2. ENEL (C) – strongly suitable but less immediate need** **3. ENI (B) – marginally suitable, lower priority** A,C,B
