CREDIT RATING RATIONALE

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION RATINGS

JULY 2011

MALAYAN BANKING BERHAD

– Initial Rating & Rating Update

RAM Ratings has reaffirmed Malayan Banking Berhad’s (“Maybank” or “the

Group”) long- and short-term financial institution ratings at AAA and P1,

respectively. At the same time, the respective issue ratings of Maybank and

Cekap Mentari Berhad (“Cekap Mentari” – a subsidiary set up to issue

subordinated notes) have been reaffirmed while a AA1 rating has been assigned

to Maybank’s proposed up to RM3 billion Tier-2 Capital Subordinated Notes

Programme. All the long-term ratings have a stable outlook.

Notes: 1 The 1-notch rating differential between Maybank’s AAA long-term financial institution rating and the AA1 ratings of its Subordinated

Bonds reflect the subordination of the debt facilities to its senior unsecured obligations. 2 The 2-notch rating differential between Maybank’s AAA long-term financial institution rating and the AA2 ratings of its Innovative and

Non-Innovative Tier-1 Capital Securities reflect the deeply subordinated nature and the embedded interest-deferral feature of the

hybrid instruments.

Cekap Mentari Berhad

Up to RM3.5 billion Subordinated Notes (2008/2038) Reaffirmed AA2 Stable

Note:

The up to RM3.5 billion Subordinated Notes are part of the up to RM3.5 billion Non-Innovative Tier-1 Capital Securities transaction.

Each issue of Capital Securities will be stapled to the Subordinated Notes issued by Cekap Mentari. The Subordinated Notes carry

the same rating as the Non-Innovative Tier-1 Capital Securities.

The ratings reflect Maybank’s significant systemic importance, excellent

franchise and sound credit fundamentals. The Group currently commands the

largest share of loans and deposits in the Malaysian banking system, and is

supported by stable funding and liquidity positions as well as sound capitalisation

levels. With an asset base of RM380 billion as at end-March 2011, Maybank is

the largest domestic banking group in Malaysia. While the Group remains the

largest financier in the country in terms of gross loans, commanding

In January 2011, Maybank announced the acquisition of Kim Eng, a leading

Singapore-based regional securities and investment broking group. Maybank

completed the acquisition of an initial stake in May 2011 and subsequently

launched a mandatory general offer for the acquisition of the remaining Kim Eng

shares. The transaction is expected to be completed in August 2011, and is

funded through a combination of internal and external funds.

Although Maybank will take some time before it can reap the full benefits from

Kim Eng’s franchise, this acquisition will enable the Group’s subsidiary, Maybank

Investment Bank Berhad (rated AAA/Stable/P1), to gain a strong regional

foothold and allow instant access to the ASEAN market. In fiscal 2010, Kim Eng

chalked up SGD412 million of operating income and SGD113 million of pre-tax

profit. Its operating income was dominated by stockbroking fees (74%). By

addition to a strong presence in Singapore, Kim Eng also boasts solid positions

in the equity markets of Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Post-acquisition, the Group’s investment-banking division will become a larger

business driver, with an estimated pro forma contribution of 8%3 to Maybank’s

pre-tax profits - compared to 2% in the financial year ending June 2010 (“FY

June 2010”). RAM Ratings notes, however, that investment-banking income is

typically volatile, and is subject to the vagaries of the capital markets.

In May 2011, Maybank had announced the receipt of Bank Negara Malaysia’s

approval to commence talks with RHB Capital Berhad and its major shareholders

on a possible merger of their businesses. Negotiations for the potential merger

were terminated in June 2011. Maybank intends to become a regional financial-

services leader by 2015, with its international operations making up 40% of its

pre-tax profits. The Bank’s targeted markets include the Middle East, China and

India, on top of its existing regional operations in Singapore, Indonesia (through

Bank Internasional Indonesia, (“BII”), Pakistan (via MCB Bank Ltd) and Vietnam

(through An Binh Bank). The Group’s strategies include gaining leadership in the

domestic insurance sector and turning its subsidiary, Maybank Islamic Berhad

(rated AAA/Stable/P1), into the largest Islamic bank in ASEAN.

For FY June 2011, Maybank has set a 12% growth target for its overall loan and

debt securities. Its Malaysian and Singaporean operations have aimed for

respective 12% and 5% growth rates. Meanwhile, BII’s lending portfolio is

expected to augment 24%, reflective of Indonesia’s vastly unbanked population

and favourable growth prospects. In 3Q FY Dec 2011, the Group’s gross loans

expanded an annualised 18% to RM242 billion. The growth had been primarily

driven by an annualised 22% jump in the loan books of BII, and an 25%

annualised loan growth for Maybank Singapore. On the other hand, loans of

Maybank’s domestic operations had increased at a more moderate annualised

rate of 15% (FY June 2010: +10%). Meanwhile, Maybank’s international

operations account for approximately 34% of the Group’s loans; its 2 largest

overseas markets are Singapore and Indonesia, with respective contributions of

20% and 8% to total gross loans.

In July 2010, Maybank adopted the FRS 139 recognition criteria for impaired

loans4. As at end-March 2011, its group-level gross impaired-loan (“GIL”) ratio

worked out to 3.7%5 (restated ratio as at end-June 2010: 4.6%) - within RAM

Ratings’ expectations. At the same time, the Group’s net impaired-loan ratio

stood at 2.4% (restated ratio as at end-June 2010: 2.8%). We expect FY Dec

2011 credit costs to be lower than the previous year; credit costs in 9M FY June

2011 came up to an annualised 0.27% of average gross loans (FY Dec 2010:

0.58%). With the adoption of FRS 139, some adjustments to loan impairments

had been made against retained earnings at the start of the current financial

year.

Maybank achieved a pre-tax profit of approximately RM4.5 billion in 9M FY June

2011 (9M FY June 2010: RM4.0 billion), supported by stronger net interest

income contributions from its expanding loan books and lower loan-loss charges.

The Group’s Malaysian operations accounted for the majority of its pre-tax profits

(about 75%), followed by Singapore and Indonesia. Maybank’s net interest

margin clocked in at 1.99% in 9M FY June 2011 (FY June 2010: 2.09%6);

competitive pressures had compressed interest margins on its domestic

mortgage and hire-purchase portfolios. All said, RAM Ratings expects the

Group’s current-year pre-tax profit to surpass the RM5.4 billion achieved in FY

June 2010.

Approximately 67% of the Group’s deposits are sourced domestically. Maybank’s

funding capabilities are viewed to be unrivalled in Malaysia - it commands 15% of

the local banking industry’s deposits (as at end-March 2011), and has a large,

low-cost base of current and savings account deposits (approximately 43% of its

4 The GIL ratio is numerically higher than the previous measure, i.e. gross non-performing-loan ratio,

due to more stringent loan-impairment classification criteria; loans less than 3 months in arrears are classified as impaired if they exhibit signs of impairment.

5 By geographical segment, the GIL ratio of its Malaysian operations stand at 4.5% as at end-March

2011; its international operations record a corresponding GIL ratio of 2%. 6 Net interest margin quoted as a percentage of total assets.

total deposits). The Group’s domestic loans-to-deposits ratio of 88.2% as at end-

March 2011 exceeded the Malaysian industry average, but it remains well within

the norm for a bank of its size and market position. Elsewhere, BII’s loans-to-

deposits ratio had climbed up to 94% as at end-March 2011 (end-December

2009: 83%), because loan growth (an annualised +27%) in 9M FY June 2011

had outpaced deposit expansion (+19%, annualised). With a liquid-asset ratio of

25.3% as at end-March 2011, Maybank’s liquidity profile is considered healthy.

Under Maybank’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”), announced in March

2010, the Group’s shareholders can elect to either receive their dividends in cash

or reinvest a portion of it in Maybank shares. RAM Ratings understands that the

election rate for the DRP (on dividends declared for FY June 2010) came up to a

high 88.59%, thus bolstering its capital base. Assuming a conservative full

payout of proposed dividends7 in cash, the Group’s overall and Tier-1 risk-

weighted capital-adequacy ratios (“RWCARs”) would stand at a respective 13.6%

and 11.1% as at end-March 2011. While the acquisition of Kim Eng may dent its

capitalisation levels, we expect Maybank’s overall RWCAR to remain above

12%. In April 2011, Maybank issued SGD1 billion Subordinated Notes under a

USD2.0 billion Multicurrency Medium-Term Note programme; these

Subordinated Notes qualify as tier-2 capital. On the whole, Maybank’s

capitalisation position is viewed to be sound.

7 Interim dividend for FY Dec 2011 of 28 sen per share (21 sen net dividend, of which 3 sen

represents the cash portion while 18 sen is the electable portion).

Objectives of the Proposed Issue

Proceeds from the issuance of the Subordinated Notes under the proposed up to

RM3 billion Tier-2 Capital Subordinated Note Programme (“the Programme”) will

be used to fund Maybank’s working capital as well as for general banking and

other corporate purposes. Coupons under the proposed debt facility will be paid

semi-annually, in arrears.

The Subordinated Notes issued under the Programme are expected to be

classified as Tier-2 capital, for inclusion in the calculation of Maybank’s RWCAR.

The Programme has a 20-year tenure, commencing from the date of its first

issuance. Meanwhile, each issuance of Subordinated Notes will be structured to

have one of the following tenures: (i) 10 years, on a non-callable basis; (ii) 15 -

years, on a 15 non-callable 10 basis, (iii) 12-years, on a 12 non-callable 7 basis

or (iv) 10 years, on a 10 non-callable 5 basis. Subordinated Notes with a call

option shall be callable on each coupon payment date in the 5 years prior to the

maturity date.

The aforementioned terms and conditions of the Subordinated Notes issued

under the Programme are not exhaustive. Investors will need to review the Trust

Deed and Programme Agreement for a comprehensive understanding of the

terms and conditions.
