Dana's bondholders pleased with new restructuring deal
- United Arab Emirates: Monday, November 26 - 2012 at 05:45
Sharjah-based Dana Gas, in talks to restructure a $920m Islamic bond, is offering bondholders cash and an average 8% coupon on two new sukuk to replace the existing one, Reuters has reported, citing two sources. Bondholders will be paid between $80m and $90m in cash, and the new bonds will be equally split between a sukuk and a convertible bond, one person familiar with the matter said. After the cash payment, the balance on the Islamic bond - which is mainly held by investment firms such as Ashmore Group and BlackRock - will be replaced by two equal tranches that mature in 2017. "Bondholders are quite happy with the offer which does not include a haircut as the market had previously expected," the source said. "The other alternative of seizing the underlying assets wasn't the bondholders' best option."
