Monitor the redemption of the 3.00% subordinated notes due 2031, which will be a liability management event. The new notes carry a higher coupon (6.219% vs. 3.00%), increasing annual interest expense by ~$12 million net. The improved total risk-based capital ratio (14.05% pro forma) is modestly positive for credit quality, but the lack of a public market for the Notes limits liquidity for holders.

Executive Summary
Valley National Bancorp is issuing $500 million of 6.219% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036. Net proceeds of approximately $495.8 million will be used to redeem its $300 million 3.00% subordinated notes due 2031 and for general corporate purposes. The offering is a debt refinancing that extends the maturity profile and improves Tier 2 capital ratios, but increases total long-term debt and interest expense.
