China Vanke is proposing to extend repayment on a RMB 2bn ($293mn) bond maturing on April 23. Vanke is offering bondholders 40% of the principal upfront with a one-year extension on the remainder. The terms mirror its earlier proposals on three other local bonds. The plan requires approval from over 90% of noteholders to be effective. Vanke will share the final proposals by next Tuesday and meet bondholders on April 17 to discuss the extension plans. The move underscores Vanke’s deepening liquidity crisis. Earlier, Vanke posted a record RMB 88.6bn ($12.8bn) loss for FY2025 and has over RMB 11bn ($1.6bn) in upcoming bond maturities due through July. It is weighing broader debt restructuring options including maturity extensions of up to 10 years, a potential tender offer, and an asset-backed trust structure, while also needing to renegotiate loan interest payment terms. Buying time on the April bond i expected to allow the developer to work toward a more comprehensive resolution. For over two years, Vanke has heavily relied on loans from its state-owned shareholder Shenzhen Metro Group to stay intact, though it remains uncertain whether further support from them is forthcoming.
Vanke’s dollar bonds continue to trade at distressed levels of 37-40 cents on the dollar.
