"they won't be redeemed on May 21 as pmo doesn't have the money."
Yes, you are right, they've already had one in increase in the coupon, I can't remember the actual data, since the issue.
You are also correct, they rank pari passu with the 500,000,000 Euro issue, in fact they share the same base prospectus.
They've pretty much said that in a previous previous RSN. It's an attractive element of the ORB issue, it's seniority.
I expect they've will need to increase the coupon again and the maturity date and most people are holding out for that. I decided to book my profit and push it towards another retail issue with less moving parts, but I may join the party again in the next few days. Once we know what's going on.I haven't got it to hand, but I think revised YTM on what we know now should be c14% plus any change of terms payments. If you run the basic calc based on existing coupon and May 21 (as if that's going to happen) I came up with a YTM of 55% clean. Not sure how the LSE calculate that price, you'd expect it to be clean. I think there's some discussion about the terms, as if I'm correct, 14% YTM would still not be enough for me...
