Evergrande officially defaulted - DMSA is preparing bankruptcy proceedings against Evergrande Group
PR92957
BERLIN, Nov. 10 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
China Evergrande Group today again defaulted on interest payments to
international investors. DMSA itself is invested in these bonds and has not
received any interest payments until today's end of the grace period. Now DMSA
is preparing bankruptcy proceedings against Evergrande and calls on all bond
investors to join it.
China Evergrande Group, the second largest real estate developer in China,
defaulted on interest payments on two bonds back in September, with the 30-day
grace period still ending in October. However, shortly before the end of the
grace period, the public was misled by rumors about alleged interest payments.
The international media also took the rumors for granted. Only the DMSA -
Deutsche Marktscreening Agentur (German Market Screening Agency) already
recognized the default at that time and proved in a study that the bankruptcy
of Evergrande, the world's most indebted corporation, could ultimately lead to
a "Great Reset", i.e. the final meltdown of the global financial system.
(Note to journalists: See DMSA press releases dated Oct. 25 and Oct. 29, 2021,
and the DMSA study "The Great Reset - Evergrande and the Final Meltdown of the
Global Financial System"; all available via the DMSA homepage
www.dmsa-agentur.de.)
"But while the international financial market has so far met the financial
turmoil surrounding the teetering giant Evergrande with a remarkable basic
confidence - one can also say: with remarkable naivety - the U.S. central bank
Fed confirmed our view yesterday," says DMSA senior analyst Dr. Marco Metzler.
"In its latest stability report, it explicitly pointed out the dangers that a
collapse of Evergrande could have for the global financial system."
In order to be able to file for bankruptcy against the company as a creditor,
DMSA itself invested in Evergrande bonds, whose grace period expired today
(Nov. 10, 2021). In total, Evergrande would have had to pay $148.13 million in
interest on three bonds no later than today. "But so far we have not received
any interest on our bonds," explains Metzler. He adds, "With banks in Hong Kong
closing today, it's certain that these bonds have defaulted."
(Note to editors: Exact details of the bonds that have defaulted so far can be
found in the appendix to this press release.)
Particularly problematic for Evergrande: all 23 outstanding bonds have a
cross-default clause. "This means that if a single one of these bonds defaults,
all 23 outstanding bonds automatically have 'default' status" DMSA senior
analyst Metzler knows. However, this does not automatically result in a
bankruptcy for Evergrande Group. To determine bankruptcy, a insolvency petition
must be filed with the court. This can be done either by the company itself or
by one or more of the company's creditors. And this is precisely what is now
planned. Metzler: "DMSA is preparing bankruptcy proceedings against Evergrande.
We are already holding talks with other investors in this regard. We would be
pleased if other investors were to join our action group."
For the DMSA expert, it is clear: "As soon as a court opens insolvency
proceedings, Evergrande will also be officially bankrupt - and that is only a
matter of days."
