惠譽-台北/香港/新加坡-2010年5月19日:惠譽國際信用評等公司今日將第一金融控股股份有限公司(第一金)已發行在外之次順位債券之國內長期評等自‘A+(twn)’調降至‘A(twn)’。此評等結果與惠譽修訂後之混合型證券評等準則一致(詳見‘Rating Hybrid Securities’,公佈於www.fitchratings.com),且為惠譽檢視台灣金融機構已發行在外債券之結果。
評等的調降主要反映此債券吸收損失的特質,當第一金資本適足率低於法定要求(100%)時,將暫停債券的利息及本金支付。在2009年底,第一金的資本適足率為119.69%。評等調降後,此次順位債券之評等較第一金國內長期評等‘AA-(twn)’低兩個評級。該次順位債券之權益權重(equity credit)為25%。
相應之評等準則請參考惠譽網站www.fitchratings.com:「Rating Hybrid Securities」,2009年12月29日公佈,及「Equity Credit for Hybrids & Other Capital Securities」,2009年12月29日公佈。

Note to editors: Fitch’s National ratings provide a relative measure of creditworthiness for rated entities in countries with relatively low international sovereign ratings and where there is demand for such ratings. The best risk within a country is rated ‘AAA’ and other credits are rated only relative to this risk. National ratings are designed for use mainly by local investors in local markets and are signified by the addition of an identifier for the country concerned, such as ‘AAA(twn)’ for National ratings in Taiwan. Specific letter grades are not therefore internationally comparable.
