German term

Swapausgleichszahlung

German to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities Bonds
The meaning here is clear but was wondering what the precise terminology was - swap compensation / adjustment payment?

Mit Hilfe dieses Zinssicherungsinstrumentes wird der feste Zinssatz der Anleihe gegen den variablen 6-Monats-EURIBOR zuzüglich Marge getauscht. Für 2006 ergab sich dadurch nur eine effektive Zinslast von EUR 22,944 Mio. (in 2005 EUR 18,352 Mio.), die sich aus folgenden Effekten zusammensetzte:
- Kuponzahlung an die Anleihegläubiger von EUR 31,5 Mio. (4,5% auf EUR 700 Mio.)
- Swapausgleichszahlung von EUR 31,5 Mio. zu Gunsten der Holding
- Zinsaufwand in Höhe von EUR 22,944 Mio. auf Basis einer Verzinsung des 6-Monats-EURIBOR zuzüglich Marge

Many thanks

swap receipt

probably the simplest route, 'swap payment received' also possible

as Ralf says, 'Ausgleich' (as so often) is misleading/superfluous here in English, and this has nothing to do with 'settlement', but however you phrase it, I think the notion of 'receipt/receiving' has to be conveyed somehow to distinguish the inward payment flow from the outward 'Kuponzahlung': both are fixed-rate payments

don't really mind which answer you use but I don't understand Robin's comment. This seems to me to be a standard fixed-to-floating swap: fixed amount out to investors, same fixed amount in from swap counterparty, floating amount out to swap counterparty. If Robin, Ralf or an interested passer-by could tell me why this isn't a 'classic swap cash payment', I would be grateful.

(credit) default payment

... but I found one "compensation payment" on Internet on www.ata-divisions.org/GLD/docs/47_conference/CreditDerivati...

"(credit) default payment" means "credit default payment" or "default payment", as you like it.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Kieran McCann : sorry, but credit default swaps are completely different from standard interest rate swaps which is what we are dealing with here.

OK. "credit" was not for "default swap", but for "default payment' , and was not even compulsory: "default payment" can be enough
disagree Ralf Lemster : Thanks for quoting me, but the presentation at last year's ATA conference was about credit derivatives; this is not about defaults at all

cash settlement (here: fixed-rate payment)

The IRS referred to here is an exchange of payment obligations, on fixed-versus-floating basis (as they're receving the fixed rate, this is a 'receiver swap' for them). Essentially, the company has exchanged its obligation to pay coupon interest (@ 4.5%) against an obligation to pay a variable rate (in the case at hand, 6m Euribor plus spread). Strictly speaking, therefore, the EUR 31.5 mn received is not a cash settlement, but the cash flow required under the fixed-rate leg of the swap. (I would actually add a comment indicating that the concept of 'Ausgleichszahlung' doesn't really apply here.)
Peer comment(s):

agree RobinB : And with your comments as well. This really isn't a classic swap cash payment.
