BT SECURITIES CORPORATION MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INCORPORATED The date of this Prospectus Supplement is April 25, 1996. BANKERS TRUST NEW YORK CORPORATION GENERAL Bankers Trust New York Corporation (the "Corporation") is a bank holding company, incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1965. At March 31, 1996, the Corporation had consolidated total assets of $108.1 billion. The Corporation's principal banking subsidiary is Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers"). Bankers, founded in 1903, is among the largest commercial banks in New York City and the United States, based on consolidated total assets. The Corporation concentrates its financial and managerial resources on selected markets and services its clients by meeting their needs for financing, advisory, processing and sophisticated risk management solutions. The core organizational units of the Corporation are Investment Banking, Risk Management Products & Services, Trading & Sales, Investment Management, Client Processing Services, Australia/New Zealand, Asia, Latin America and Corporate. Among the institutional market segments served are corporations, banks, other financial institutions, governments and agencies, retirement plans, not-for-profit organizations, wealthy individuals, foundations and private companies. Bankers originates loans and other forms of credit, accepts deposits, arranges financings and provides numerous other commercial banking and financial services. Bankers provides a broad range of financial advisory services to its clients. It also engages in the proprietary trading of currencies, securities, derivatives and commodities. The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, including Bankers. There are various legal limitations governing the extent to which the Corporation's banking subsidiaries may extend credit, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to, or engage in transactions with, the Corporation or certain of its other subsidiaries. The rights of the Corporation to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon its dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization or otherwise are subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that the Corporation may itself be a creditor of that subsidiary and its claims are recognized. Claims on the Corporation's subsidiaries by creditors other than the Corporation include long-term debt and substantial obligations with respect to deposit liabilities, trading liabilities, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and commercial paper, as well as various other liabilities. The Corporation's principal executive offices are located at 280 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10017 and its telephone number is (212) 250-2500. CONSOLIDATED RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 31, ------------------------ ------------- 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1995 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ Excluding Interest on Deposits.... 1.40 1.44 1.71 1.28 1.05 .73 1.18 Including Interest on Deposits.... 1.22 1.28 1.48 1.21 1.03 .80 1.14
For purposes of computing these consolidated ratios, earnings represent income (loss) before income taxes, cumulative effects of accounting changes and equity in undistributed income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, plus fixed charges excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges represent all interest expense (ratios are presented both excluding and including interest on deposits), the portion of net rental expense which is deemed representative of the interest factor, the amortization of debt issuance expense and capitalized interest. For the three months ended March 31, 1995, earnings, as defined, did not cover fixed charges, excluding and including interest on deposits, by $231 million, as a result of a net loss recorded during the period. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Corporation earned $138 million, or $1.52 primary earnings per share, in the first quarter of 1996. The first quarter earnings improved from both the fourth quarter 1995 results of $126 million, or $1.36 primary earnings per share, and from the first quarter 1995 loss of $157 million, or $2.11 primary loss per share. Return on common equity increased to 12% in the first quarter of 1996. S-2 Details with respect to the foregoing are set forth in the Corporation's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 15, 1996, which is incorporated herein by reference. CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS On January 1, 1996, Frank N. Newman, the former Deputy Secretary of the Treasury who had been elected president of the Corporation and Bankers on October 19, 1995, assumed the role of chief executive officer and on April 16, 1996 assumed the additional title of Chairman of the Board. In early February 1996, Richard H. Daniel, the former chief financial officer of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, joined the Corporation and Bankers as chief financial officer. Following the sharp increase in interest rates during the first quarter of 1994, various counterparties that had entered into leveraged derivative transactions with certain subsidiaries of the Corporation experienced losses and some of those counterparties have made claims against the Corporation. The Corporation has settled some of the claims made by certain counterparties and is contesting allegations made by others. In the fourth quarter of 1994, Procter & Gamble brought a lawsuit against Bankers. In the first quarter of 1995 the suit was amended to include BT Securities Corporation. The suit seeks to void and rescind two interest rate swap transactions entered into with Bankers and claims $195.5 million in compensatory damages and unspecified punitive damages. In the third quarter of 1995, the suit was further amended to add claims under Title IX of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970. There can be no assurance that there will not be other such actions or claims in the future. On December 22, 1994, BT Securities Corporation ("BT Securities"), a subsidiary of the Corporation, entered into a settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") concerning all investigations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries by those agencies with respect to the conduct of its privately negotiated over-the-counter derivatives (the "Derivatives") business. As part of that settlement, the Commission and the CFTC agreed not to further pursue Bankers Trust related entities concerning Derivatives matters prior to the settlement date (although they did reserve the right to pursue individuals), and BT Securities paid $10 million in civil penalties and agreed to and has retained independent consultants to examine its conduct of the Derivatives business. The Corporation also has agreed to implement the consultants' recommendations. The Corporation, Bankers and BT Securities have also entered into a Written Agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Memorandum of Understanding with the New York State Banking Department concerning the Corporation's leveraged derivative transactions business, both of which call for an independent counsel review. The Corporation cannot predict the effect on the derivatives business generally, or the Corporation's derivatives business in particular, of these events or of the current legislative, regulatory and media attention being given to the derivatives industry. Details with respect to the foregoing are set forth in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, which is incorporated herein by reference. S-3 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA AND OTHER INFORMATION The following selected consolidated financial data at and for each of the three years ended December 31, 1995, have been derived from and are qualified in their entirety by the detailed financial information and consolidated financial statements of the Corporation included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 ("Form 10-K") which is incorporated herein by reference. The consolidated financial data at and for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Corporation's results of operations for such periods have been made. All such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three months ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or any other interim period.

N/M--Not meaningful S-4 CERTAIN TERMS OF THE OFFERED NOTES GENERAL The Corporation's 7 3/8% Subordinated Notes due May 1, 2008 offered hereby (the "Offered Notes") will be limited to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will mature on May 1, 2008. The Offered Notes may not be redeemed prior to stated maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund. The Offered Notes will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1992, between the Corporation and Marine Midland Bank (formerly Marine Midland Bank, N.A.), as Trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of January 15, 1993, between the Corporation and the Trustee (collectively, the "Subordinated Indenture"). The Offered Notes will bear interest at the rate of 7 3/8% per annum from April 30, 1996, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 in each year, beginning on November 1, 1996, to the persons in whose names the Offered Notes (or any predecessor Offered Notes) are registered at the close of business on the April 15 and October 15 next preceding such interest payment date. The Offered Notes will be issued in fully registered form, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The paying agent, registrar and transfer agent for the Offered Notes will be the corporate trust department of Bankers in The City of New York. Reference should be made to the Prospectus for a description of other terms of the Offered Notes and the information contained herein concerning the Offered Notes is qualified by reference to the provisions of the Subordinated Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms. See "Description of Debt Securities." Defined terms used but not defined in this Prospectus Supplement have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prospectus. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM The Offered Notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Securities (collectively, the "Global Security"), which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), as depository for the Global Security (the "Depository"), and registered in the name of DTC's nominee. Transfers or exchanges of beneficial interests in the Global Security may be effected only through a participating member of DTC. Under certain limited circumstances Offered Notes may be issued in certificated form in exchange for the Global Security. See "Book-Entry Securities" in the Prospectus accompanying this Prospectus Supplement. In the event that Offered Notes are issued in certificated form, such Offered Notes may be transferred or exchanged at the offices described in the second following paragraph. Payment of principal of, and interest on, Offered Notes registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security. None of the Corporation, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any other agent of the Corporation or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. In the event that Offered Notes are issued in certificated form, principal and interest will be payable, the transfer of the Offered Notes will be registrable and Offered Notes will be exchangeable for Offered Notes bearing identical terms and provisions at the office of the agent of the Corporation in The City of New York designated for such purpose, provided that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Corporation by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto. S-5 SAME-DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT Settlement for the Offered Notes will be made by the Underwriters in immediately available funds. All payments of principal and interest will be made by the Corporation in immediately available funds or the equivalent, so long as the Depository continues to make its Same-Day Funds Settlement System available to the Corporation. Secondary trading in long-term notes and debentures of corporate issuers is generally settled in clearinghouse or next-day funds. In contrast, the Offered Notes will trade in the Depository's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and secondary market trading activity in the Offered Notes will therefore be required by the Depository to settle in immediately available funds. No assurance can be given as to the effect, if any, of settlement in immediately available funds on trading activity in the Offered Notes. SUBORDINATION THE OFFERED NOTES WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE SUBORDINATED INDENTURE AND DESCRIBED IN "DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES--SUBORDINATION OF SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES" IN THE PROSPECTUS, AS SUPPLEMENTED BELOW.

The Subordinated Indenture does not limit or prohibit the incurrence of additional Senior Indebtedness, which may include indebtedness that is senior to the Offered Notes but subordinate to other obligations of the Corporation, including obligations of the Corporation in respect of Other Financial Obligations.

The Corporation has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Corporation has been advised by the Underwriters that the Underwriters presently intend to make a market in the Offered Notes, although the Underwriters are under no obligation to do so and the Underwriters may discontinue any such market making at any time in their sole discretion. Accordingly, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading markets for, the Offered Notes.
