China South City gets consents to extend maturity of two 2022 notes

By Rebecca Melvin

Concord, N.H., Jan. 26 – China South City Holdings Ltd. has received sufficient support from holders of its $350 million 11˝% senior notes due 2022 (ISIN: XS2085883119) and its $350 million 10 7/8% senior notes due 2022 (ISIN: XS2120092882) to extend their respective maturities, according to an announcement.

The main purpose of the consent solicitation is to extend the maturities of the notes to improve the company’s liquidity and cash flow management and to allow the company to optionally redeem the notes at any time at par plus accrued interest.

The company had received sufficient consents, or at least 75% of the notes for each series, as of 11 p.m. ET on Jan. 25, two days prior to the solicitation’s expiration at 11 a.m. ET on Jan. 28.

The company is now able to push the maturity date on the 11˝% notes to Aug. 12, 2022 from Feb. 12, 2022 and to push the maturity date on the 10 7/8% notes to Oct. 26, 2022 from June 26, 2022.

Early consenting holders will receive $5.00 per $1,000 note, and holders who consent after the early deadline but before the final expiration time will receive $1.50 per $1,000 note.

Payment of the consent fee will be made on Feb. 10.

As previously reported, the company has plans to later try to refinance the notes at lower borrowing costs.

China South City is getting a new equity investment for HK$1,909,500,000 from municipal state-owned enterprise SZCDG. The investment should improve the management and operational efficiency as well as enhance the financial capability of the company.

Credit Suisse (Hong Kong) Ltd. is the solicitation agent.
