In a 'Best-Efforts' deal, the 'Initial Price Thoughts' (IPTs) are released at 250 bps. During the day, the market weakens and investors demand 300 bps.

What is the most likely result?

  1. The bank must itself pay the 50 bps annual spread difference to the investors every year.
  2. The deal prices at 300 bps, or the issuer decides to withdraw the deal if 300 bps is too expensive.
  3. The investors who first saw the IPTs are now legally bound to accept the original 250 bps spread.
  4. The bank's CEO must personally step in and guarantee the original 250 bps spread to the buyers themselves.
