Goldman Sachs is said to be looking to buy a portion of the debt owed by NWD. As per sources, Goldman has approached lenders to purchase parts of a $11bn loan at a discount of at least 15 cents on the dollar. The loan was given to NWD in June, making it one of the largest refinancing packages in Hong Kong, helping the developer just days before key debt deadlines at the time. Analysts note that the move by Goldman Sachs indicates value in the developer’s physical assets. Unlike some of the developer’s other debts, this loan is secured by high-value property, including the company’s headquarters. This collateral is said to act as a safety net if the developer fails to pay, wherein the lenders can claim the building. The sources added that talks were still only in preliminary stages and that there was no guarantee that a deal would materialize.
NWD’s dollar bonds were trading stable, with its 9% Perp trading at 95.8.
