智通财经APP获悉,据报道,香港法院批准了远洋集团(03377)的离岸债务计划,为其强制所有债权人接受重组扫清了道路,尽管几个月来一个主要债券持有人团体一直在反对。
香港高等法院法官陈静芬强调,一些持反对意见的债权人担心,股东在该计划下可能会受到优待。她还询问了中国监管机构对新债发行的审批情况。远洋法律代表指,该公司预计将会获得批准。
据悉,因为旗下美元债受英国法管辖,远洋集团将通过并行的英国重组计划和中国香港协议安排实施境外债务重组。英国重组计划已于2月6日生效。
本月早些时候,英国法院批准了一项将约56亿美元贷款和美元票据转换为各种类型新证券的提议。2020年出台的法规,让英国法院得以在未获所有类型债权人完全支持的情况下批准一项债务计划。
英国的裁决帮助降低了该房企的清算风险,但这种跨类别“强制实施”,也打击了认为自己可以谈成更好条件的债权人,并为持有受英国法律管辖的不良债务的投资者敲响了警钟。根据高伟绅律师事务所本月发布的报告,这也可以作为先例,供其他考虑使用这种方式解决离岸债务问题的中国房企参考。
