New World Development (NWD) has secured commitments from about 10 banks for a HKD 87.5bn ($11.2bn) loan refinancing initiative, as per Bloomberg. Major lenders including Bank of China, HSBC, Standard Chartered have reportedly completed internal approvals, adding upto HKD 20bn ($2.6bn) in commitments.
NWD is said to be under pressure to complete the refinancing initiative by the end of June as a covenant waiver on its existing facilities is set to expire. The company also has coupon payments of about $116.6mn due in June for multiple bonds, including four perpetual notes. Recently, NWD had failed to issue a call notice for its outstanding 6.15% Perp. As per the bond’s terms, it had to provide notice at least 30 days prior to first call date on 16 June 2025. At current levels, this would imply a new adjusted coupon of ~10.20% (i.e., US 3Y Treasury yield plus the reset spread of 620.1bp).
