Abengoa SA won support from creditors to allow more time to approve a 9.4 billion-euro ($10.5 billion) debt restructuring and avoid insolvency.
More than 75 percent of the company’s lenders agreed to continue talks for as much as seven months, Seville-based Abengoa said in a regulatory filing Monday. The support from creditors is higher than the 60 percent required to extend the acceptance period and puts the engineering-services company on track to approve its final restructuring plan, Abengoa said in a separate e-mailed statement.
