Clarifies throughout the issuance is part of a debt restructuring proposal, not a new fundraising plan
Oct 29 (Reuters) - Chinese property developer Sino-Ocean Group 3377.HK said on Tuesday it planned to issue new zero-coupon, two-year mandatory convertible bonds and new interest-bearing, perpetual securities to creditors for a total value of $4.02 billion.
The state-backed company received a winding-up petition late June, filed by The Bank of New York Mellon BK.N in a Hong Kong court.
This issuance, along with new debts worth $2.2 billion, forms a part of the indebted developer's $5.64 billion offshore debt restructuring plan.
The plan, subject to creditors and courts' approval, is facing strong opposition from a key bondholder group.
Sino-Ocean was one of the Chinese property firms that defaulted on offshore bonds after the country's property sector collapsed in mid-2021.
