Two of Sino-Ocean’s dollar bondholders holding its 2025s said that they are yet to receive coupons on the notes that were due July 13. The coupons totaled $7.02mn and the notes have a 14-day grace period before non-payment would be considered an event of default. This has once again heightened fears of default risk about the company and also renewed the broad concerns around the sector. Sino-Ocean has about $380mn of debt payments due in Q3. HSBC’s credit analyst Keith Chan noted that Sino-Ocean would suspend offshore debt payments and instead pursue a holistic debt restructuring.
Sino-Ocean’s dollar bonds are trading at deeply distressed levels of 12-15 cents on the dollar.
