Times China Holdings Limited has pushed back both the Electronic Consent Deadline and the Voting Deadline for its ongoing consent solicitation relating to two series of zero-coupon secured guaranteed mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs) maturing in 2027.
The new cut-off point for bondholders to submit Consent or Ineligible Bondholder Instructions is 4:00 p.m. London time on 15 June 2026, one month later than the previous 15 May deadline.
Bond profile • MCB I: Outstanding principal of US$790.90 million. • MCB II: Outstanding principal of US$240.73 million. Combined, the programme represents US$1.03 billion of debt subject to the solicitation.
Updated timetable • Voting Deadline (post-extension): 15 June 2026, 4:00 p.m. London time. • Bondholder meetings (if required): 17 June 2026 at 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Hong Kong time for MCB I and MCB II respectively. • Should electronic consent thresholds be met by the new deadline, the extraordinary resolutions will take effect without convening the meetings, and supplemental trust deeds will be executed “as soon as reasonably practicable” thereafter.
Key reminders • Any delivered Consent Instruction is deemed an irrevocable undertaking for the holder to refrain from enforcement actions tied to specified defaults. • Times China urges remaining bondholders to lodge instructions promptly; failure to do so leaves them bound by any approved amendments and waivers. • Kroll Issuer Services Limited continues as Information and Tabulation Agent, with documentation and updates available at https://deals.is.kroll.com/timeschina-consent.
Risk note The company cautions there is no assurance that the required consent thresholds or eligibility conditions will be achieved. Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in Times China securities.
