大唐地產提出美元債交換要約 尋求債務經營平衡
去年以來,隨着融資環境的持續收緊,房企現金流承壓,選擇進行債務要約交換的企業數量明顯增多,規模也明顯增長。安信證券數據顯示,2021年全年共15家房企的20只地產美元債進行交換要約。行業形勢依然嚴峻,而人民幣今年2月以來的持續貶值,則對於房企償付美元債進一步加劇影響,進行債務展期的趨勢2022年仍在延續。
5月23日,大唐集團控股(2117.HK)在港交所發佈公吿,就旗下12.5%的3億美元債提出要約交換,債務到期日為今年6月。
據公吿,該筆美元債將同比例置換成展期後的新票據,並結算與支付2022年6月到期債券的應付利息。新票據將展期至2023年5月30日,新票據維持12.5%的舊券利率不變。2022年5月30日下午四時正(倫敦時間)為交換屆滿期限。
據其2021年財報,大唐地產去年整體業績相對穩健,銷售金額達到505.8億元。但今年前4個月,市場持續低迷,疊加疫情反覆,大唐銷售也同比下降超40%。此次公吿中也顯示,受到行業波動以及境內外融資收緊,以及不斷出現的信貸負面事件影響,波及公司銷售融資承壓,導致短期流動壓力。擬通過要約交換方式緩解債務壓力,並將以持續穩定的經營發展,改善提升現金流。
據知情人士透露,大唐提出交換要約,實為平衡債務處理與穩定經營,大唐方面已積極開展與債券持有人的溝通,並已獲得絕大部分投資人支持意向。
當下,融資環境有所改善,但對於民營房企來説並無大的趨勢變化。在此背景下,在集中到期的美元債管理上,多數房企也並未“躺平”,進行要約交換已成為債務雙方選擇度最高方案,更有利於保障投資人本金安全。
值得一提的是,本次交易大唐並未使用附加修訂債券條款同意徵求(退出同意徵求,Exit Consent),在近期交換要約中較為少見。上述知情人士表示,債券條款同意徵求主要目的是將債券條款儘可能修改成更有利於債券發行人,從而使投資者面臨更大壓力接受交換要約。大唐此次未附加同意徵求,表明公司對通過此次要約交換充滿信心,也做到了對投資者的尊重。目前的溝通結果也充分表明了投資者對大唐的理解與支持,對大唐的中長期發展堅定看好。
大唐方面也表示,基於嚴峻形勢下的短期流動性困難,並未使得公司經營面發生實質性變化。除該筆美元債外,境外再無其餘存續債務,希望通過此次積極的債務處置,全力抓銷售、保交付與穩經營,提升現金流,同時也對行業市場的逐步回暖與進入良性發展循環充滿信心。
