Ukraine’s largest pipe and railway wheel producer
Interpipe (INPIP) announced on Oct. 18 that it expects to finish the
restructuring of its debt on Oct. 25.
Recall, Interpipe plans to issue a total of USD 309 mln of new Eurobonds with
a 10.25% coupon and 3,086 units of performance securities in order to
restructure its entire debt (the total principal of USD 1.17 bln as disclosed
earlier).
Dmytro Khoroshun: Interpipe’s
debt restructuring will be the most sophisticated deal so far between a
Ukrainian debtor and international creditors. Interpipe’s new Eurobond will
allow for international investors diversifying their exposure to Ukrainian
credit.
