China Evergrande ( OTC:EGRNF ) ( OTC:EGRNY ) said Wednesday it has reached binding agreements with an ad hoc committee of holders of its existing U.S. dollar denominated notes that give creditors a range of options in exchanging their existing notes for new securities.
The group represents a number of major holders of its $13.9B of existing notes and $5.23B of notes issued by its Scenery Journey subsidiary, the company said.
Holders of the parent's existing offshore notes have two options, the company said in a Hong Kong filing . They can exchange their notes at one-to-one conversion ratio for new notes with a tenor of 10 to 12 years and will be repaid over time.
