Country Garden (COGARD) is wrapping up its $14.1bn offshore debt restructuring after more than two years, with creditors approving its plan in a vote yesterday. COGARD obtained requisite vote majorities from its creditors for its class 1 scheme and class 2 schemes. The debt proposal aims to reduce the developer’s debt by as much as $11.6bn, offering creditors with cash payments, convertible bonds and new notes with a maturity as long as 11.5 years. The plan could cut COGARD’s total debt by over 20% if at least $7.5bn of offshore debt is converted into mandatory convertible bonds. Its dollar bonds continue to trade at deeply distressed levels of 9 cents on the dollar.
Separately, China Vanke was downgraded by S&P to CCC from B-.

This downgrade follows after the company announced earlier this week that it signed a framework agreement with Shenzhen Metro Group to draw upon its loan facility. Vanke 3.5% 2029s has fallen by 10 points since beginning of this month.
