Cohort restructure post P1 + PPLX A/B/C/D research integration
Material changes vs v1.0: (1) Schön Klinik demoted from marquee to REJECT — PPLX-D Hospital Private Debt deep-dive identified 3 simultaneous H-rule failures (sub-IG Fitch B+, floating TLB, 6-7yr tenor); P1 score 47/A was wrong because it lacked TLB structural detail. (2) Helios → Fresenius rebrand — Helios is a cashflow division (~53% group revenue, ~40% EBIT) of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA; the underwriting target is the parent. (3) Encavis demoted from marquee to watch — corporate refi window closed Feb 2026 (€485m IG PP + €1.4bn senior facilities, KKR Capital Markets / Crédit Agricole / CIBC); future access = project-level only. (4) Mileway DE promoted to marquee to fill Schön slot. (5) Vonovia €610m / Mar 2026 fact correction — actually €850m, matured 28 Jan 2026, repaid via Nov 2025 €2.25bn 3-tranche proactive refi.
Strategic frame (PPLX-A): Germany has no Matching Adjustment — German life insurers use Volatility Adjustment (Art 77d). Appetite is inferred from Sicherungsvermögen / Deckungsstock allocations + the 8th AnlV Amendment 5% infrastructure quota tailwind (Feb 2025). MEAG (Bayerl, Schroff, Hemming) is the central node — sole arranger on €450m DB Regio rolling stock + €300m Spain hybrid renewable + Portugal Margalha solar. AllianzGI won €500m VBL infrastructure debt mandate Aug 2025. EUR/GBP cross-currency hedge cost is 0–15bps annualised — does not kill GBP investment economics for EUR insurers given UK rate premium ~170bps.
SONG innovation slot (PPLX-B): 15-30yr senior fixed-rate EUR bilateral is structurally vacant in the German real-asset debt market 2024-26. Banks max 24yr (LBBW only, project finance). Public bonds max 15yr senior. Insurer bilaterals max 15yr (ERGO/Vonovia precedent). The 15-30yr slot is open — SONG positioning identical to French analysis. ERGO/Vonovia 15yr secured bilateral (€150m + €75m 2024) is the most important structural template — same insurer doing exactly what GCCP wants UK BPA insurers to do.
H3 framework (PPLX-B): German PRS H3 is INAPPLICABLE — Mietspiegel is local market reference (biennial reset), not CPI/HICP contractual indexation. SONG fixed cashflow sits at loan-level debt service; rental variability sits at borrower level. Vonovia / LEG / GCP (Germany-only ringfenced pool) all clear H3. GCP whole-platform = FLAG (London social tenant CPI/RPI). LEG cleanest (Mietspiegel-only, Indexmiete non-standard).
Pricing anchors (PPLX-B): PRS 15yr public ~4.0–4.2% (Vonovia Nov 2025); Logistics 12yr public 4.375% (PELF Jul 2024); Utility 30yr hybrid 4.125–4.625% (RWE Jun 2025); Renewables 24yr bank 0–15bps over Bund (LBBW/ENERPARC Mar 2025). SONG bilateral 15-25yr secured targets ~4.0–4.5% EUR fixed for IG PRS, ~4.7–5.2% for hospital 15yr above SSD ceiling.
