OTS - CHINA EVERGRANDE GROUP / International bondholder and DMSA file an allegation of criminal conduct against defaulted Evergrande Group (part 2)

Berlin, 23 February, 2022 (APA/OTS) -
For example, in November 2021, Evergrande sold its stake in the
streaming service provider HengTen Network Group for the equivalent
of 273.5 million US dollars. This "gave" Evergrande a loss of the
equivalent of 1.09 billion US dollars. Incidentally, the stake was
sold at a 24 percent discount to the closing price at the time of
the acquisition. As a result, HenTen's share price plummeted by 24
percent.
In addition, Chinese authorities ordered Evergrande founder and
chief executive Hui Ka Yan to sell some of his private assets -
including high-end art, calligraphy and three properties - to
compensate Chinese Evergrande bondholders. It is feared that this
has led to unequal treatment of Evergrande creditors, as it is
unclear whether creditors were given preferential treatment.
"In this respect, it would have been best for Evergrande's
international creditors if the group itself had taken action
earlier and filed an insolvency petition with a provisional
restructuring plan in accordance with the bankruptcy laws of the
Cayman Islands," explains DMSA CEO Michael Ewy. The management of
the Evergrande holding company has been guilty of delaying
insolvency for some time now.
From Dr. Metzler's perspective, there is virtually no hope for
Evergrande's turnaround. "The restructuring analysis I have from
Fitch Ratings - one of the three largest rating agencies in the
world, where I started my career as a financial analyst years ago -
assumes that Evergrande would be liquidated with a restructuring
rate of zero to ten percent." That means creditors would get back a
maximum of one-tenth of their invested capital.
What's more: Evergrande is not the only one struggling at the
moment. A number of other Chinese developers - such as Kaisa Group,
Fantasia Holdings, Modern Land China, and Guangzhou R&F - are also
having great difficulty refinancing. Some have also already
experienced payment defaults.
No wonder that Ewy and Dr. Metzler consider the insolvency of
Evergrande and other Chinese property developers to be inevitable.
In their wake, there would then likely be a host of other
bankruptcies. "To avoid internal unrest, China would be forced to
return to a hard communist line," concludes Dr. Metzler. This would
ultimately imply that all of China's international debt of around
585 billion U.S. dollars would no longer be serviced and that
equity investments by foreign investors of around 600 billion U.S.
dollars would also have to be written off completely - with
devastating consequences for the global banking system and the
entire world economy.
