Rationale for Discover Bank Debt Issuance
Provides capital benefits both at the Discover Financial
Services consolidated and Discover Bank levels
Enhances Tier 2 capital to both the Discover Financial
Services consolidated and Discover Bank capital structure
Currently Tier 2 capital includes only loan loss reserves
and, at the Discover Bank level, certain inter-company
debt
Provides additional liquidity
