Ukrainian Railways (RAILUA) has paid on time a USD 150
mln amortization payment on its 2021 Eurobond along with coupon, CEO Yevhen
Kravtsov wrote in his blog on Sept. 16. In this way, the company has paid a
total of USD 300 mln in amortization on the USD 500 mln bond this year. The
remainder of the bond will be amortized over the next two years.
Alexander Paraschiy: Unlike the March amortization payment, this time the company had
enough liquidity to smoothly pay the bond after raising USD 500 mln in July from 2024 bond
placement and additionally almost
USD 100 mln from a tap placement in September. With its recent placements, Ukrainian Railways has enough liquidity to
smoothly serve the next repayment tranches in 2020.
