Dubai-based Emirates REIT withdrew the restructuring proposal for its $400 million Islamic bond after a group of investors successfully opposed the deal.
Emirates REIT said Monday that 57% of sukuk-holders who voted were in favor of its exchange offer. It said 79% of its bondholders cast votes, without providing further details. The outcome fell short of the 75% the fund required to push through the proposal.
