Ah, I've got it! Surplus notes, that's the term for those hybrid instruments. I feel confident about this one - the description matches what I know about those types of financial products.

Surplus notes, no doubt about it. Although, I'd love to know who comes up with these names. 'Surplus notes' sounds like something you'd find in the attic, not a financial instrument.
