Dana Gas Asks Bondholders for Standstill After Payment Miss
This article is for subscribers only.
Dana Gas PJSC said it’s in talks for a so-called standstill agreement with bondholders after the United Arab Emirates fuel producer failed to pay almost $1 billion in Islamic debt on maturity last week.
The company and a committee of bondholders “are currently negotiating the necessary standstill and lock-up agreement which the parties are working together to conclude soon,” Dana Gas said in a statement to the Abu Dhabi bourse today. Under a standstill accord, creditors agree not to make an effort to collect debt payments or claim assets backing a security.
