Restructuring Proposal
China Evergrande Group ("CEG") announced a detailed financial restructuring proposal (the "Proposal") on 22 March 2023 following consultation and negotiation with a limited subset of its creditors. On 3 April 2023, CEG further announced that it had entered into restructuring support agreements ("RSAs") regarding its proposal with the members of an ad hoc group of certain series of notes issued by CEG and its subsidiaries.
CEG intends to implement the Proposal through schemes of arrangement in Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The Proposal contemplates the launch of schemes of arrangement by CEG (the "CEG Scheme"), Tianji Holding Limited (the "TJ Scheme") and Scenery Journey Limited.
Affected creditors have been given until 27 April 2023 to sign up to the RSAs if they wish to receive a 0.25% consent fee in the form of new payment-in-kind notes to be issued pursuant to the restructuring proposal (if implemented).
