The Late New Bonds contain provisions, commonly known as “collective action clauses.” Under these provisions, which differ from the terms of the Republic’s public external indebtedness issued prior to April 22, 2016, the Republic may amend the payment provisions of any series of debt securities issued under the Indenture (including any series of the Bonds) and other reserved matters listed in the Indenture with the consent of the holders of: (1) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series; (2) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, if certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually. See “Description of the Late New Bonds—Meetings, Amendments and Waivers—Collective Action.”

Queste condizioni sono nettamente meno vantaggiose per gli obbligazionisti rispetto a quelle sui titoli in euro condivise da @Ventodivino qualche giorno fa. In quel caso infatti si richiede l'85% dell'ammontare complessivo, mentrew qui è il 75% ('se certe condizioni sono uniformemente applicabili') o addirittura i 2/3, con un minimo del 50% per ogni singola serie. I titoli emessi sotto Macri godono di ristrutturabilità più agevole, parrebbe. Non so comunque che impatto avrebbe questo in caso di ristrutturazione, se cioè ci sarebbe una differenza significativa fra le condizioni proposte sui titoli in euro rispetto a quelli in dollari.

Beh... rifinanziare, al solito, sarebbe la vittoria.
Si passa il cerino ad altri prestatori e le obbligazioni in corso, fanno il loro naturale corso. È il tipico best case scenario su una speculazione sul distressed debt.

Se con riprofilare si allude soprattutto al profilo delle scadenze per evitare ingorghi di pagamenti nei prossimi anni, se si toccassero solo le maturità, i prezzi attuali anche per le più vicine, già lo sconterebbero ampiamente, forse pure con ampi margini di profitto se davvero ci si limitasse solo a spostare le date di rimborso.
In fin dei conti oggi si emettono sempre più spesso Matusalem bonds a tassi infimi se teniamo conto della durata (la stessa Argentina lo ha emesso, anche se a tassi già HY). Se i flussi di cassa promessi fossero percepiti poi, oggi giorno, come sicuri, non è il "rischio tassi" in se un problema gran che percepito. Anche un debito a 100 anni di un titolo di stato al 4%, se percepito quel 4% come assolutamente sostenibile dall'emittente e ci si sente ragionevolmente sicuri di percepirlo, beh oggi stiamo andando verso scenari in cui lo si potrebbe arrivare a strapagare. Che poi sia corretto questo basso livello di preoccupazione per possibili futuri rischi inflazione, su questo non entro nel merito. Che i bond complessivamente sono in bolla e siamo in un clima di repressione finanziaria è evidente. Quindi si cercano rendimenti, finché ancora ci sono, poiché siamo finiti anche a tassi negativi su alcuni asset di debito, su cui forse si punta solo in chiave speculativa per apprezzamenti ulteriori da QE o in chiave protettiva (rifugio nel bund per eventualmente salvarsi da una rottura dell'eurozona). Quindi anche la riprofilazione delle maturity è già ampiamente nei prezzi e ovviamente non riguarderebbe i titoli che già oggi sono a lungo termine.

Al solito il problema è la ristrutturazione, dovendo stimare quanto profondamente vorrebbero incidere sui flussi di cassa attesi per l'obbligazionista. Taglio cedole ? Di quale entitá ? Haircut ? Entrambi ?

Io dico che se questa volta, almeno in una prima fase, e intendo lunga fase, per almeno i prossimi 5-7 anni, non si provi con tutti i modi, con misure eroiche, anche a spese dell'FMI, di calciare la lattina lontano lungo la strada e rimandare il problema, limitandosi a fare la minima riprofilazione indispensabile e più market friendly possibile.... se non fanno così, dicevo, l'Argentina è fuori dai mercati per un secolo. In questo caso si facesse bastare i soldi che ha arraffato con l'ultimo bond secolare, perchè capitali freschi da privati investitori non ne vede più per un pezzo :D.

Se dovessi entrare adesso su un corporate , ce ne sono parecchi, come detto, anche con due notches sopra al governativo (nemmeno downgradati nell'ultimo giro) , scarterei YPF visto il blocco imposto da alcuni giorni dal governo a YPF al prezzo alla pompa (avevo letto su un quotidiano cartaceo in PDF di perdite milionarie per YPF derivanti da questo provvedimento).
IMHO.

Argentina Bonds May Be Worth Less Than 40 Cents in a Default (1)

  • Citi sees recovery value at low-30s range, BofA says below 40
  • Massive sell-off sent implied probability of default to 85%
(Bloomberg) --
Less than two years after Argentina made a splash in markets by selling a $2.75 billion, 100-year bond, another debt restructuring is a real possibility after President Mauricio Macri was routed in a primary election.

Money managers and analysts from firms including Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. say investors are likely to recoup less than 40 cents on the dollar on its notes if Argentina reneges on its debt for the third time in two decades.

Bonds got fairly close to testing those levels last week, when some notes traded as low as 45 cents on concern Alberto Fernandez and his running mate, former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, would undo Macri’s market-friendly agenda. Yields on the shortest-term dollar bonds Argentina has outstanding shot up above 50%. While assets have had a mild rebound since, the implied probability of default over the next five years is at 83%, according to data from CMA.



“The probability of a restructuring is high next year given large financial needs, limited market access and fiscal challenges amid a recession,” Claudio Irigoyen, head of Latin America fixed-income and foreign-exchange strategy at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York, wrote in a note. “The fiscal and financial situation is vulnerable and the markets show low credibility so far.”

If that happens, a recovery would probably be below 40 cents for dollar-denominated bonds, according to Irigoyen. That is slightly more optimistic than Citigroup, which says bondholders would likely get something in the low 30-cent range in case of non-payment for the sovereign notes. Bonds rose around 1 cent on Wednesday, with the century notes being traded at 49.2 cents on the dollar as of 8:50 a.m. in New York.

“In external debt, we think that more certainty on the plans of the next administration is needed, as the market is not yet pricing a worst-case recovery value,” Citigroup emerging-markets strategists including New York-based Donato Guarino wrote in a note, adding that it may only come “closer to the election.”

There have been some clues on what Fernandez would do if he wins the Oct. 27 vote. In several interviews with local newspapers on Sunday, the front-runner spoke about what he considered successful debt talks during his time as cabinet chief that led to a restructuring of bonds and the need to negotiate with bondholders. While he didn’t say he would necessarily push for a restructuring, he said that “no one knows better than us the damage caused by default.” He also pointed to securities tied to economic growth, which were offered in the 2005 and 2010 restructurings, as one way to invite investors to be “partners in our growth.”

On Monday, his economic adviser Guillermo Nielsen said Fernandez has no plans to restructure the country’s debt.

Some investors have speculated that Kirchner, Macri’s predecessor who led Argentina through a period of radical policies including capital controls, may be the one to set policy for a Fernandez administration.

The likelihood that Argentina will need to restructure its debt is higher now regardless of who ultimately makes policy decisions after the presidential election, said Alejo Czerwonko, an emerging-markets strategist for the Americas at UBS AG in New York. A scenario in which Kirchner calls the shots on economic policy would be the most damaging to bond investors, followed by an outcome where she and Fernandez clash, resulting in “erratic policy,” he wrote in a note.

Raphael Marechal, an emerging-markets money manager at Nikko Asset Management in London, said Argentina notes already mostly price in a default, considering a historical recovery rate of about 40% in emerging markets plus coupon payments until the event potentially happens.

When Argentina defaulted on $95 billion worth of bonds in 2001, a large majority of holders accepted an exchange for new debt worth about 30 cents on the dollar, according to Alejo Costa, a strategist at BTG Pactual Argentina in Buenos Aires.

The IMF’s stance is likely to be key to any debt restructuring. The fund, which last year granted a $56 billion bailout to the South American country after a slump in the peso, will soon decide whether to disburse about $5 billion of additional funds next month.

An immediate debt restructuring under the IMF’s guidance would allow Fernandez “to blame Mr. Macri for the unsustainable debt position he inherited,” Edward Glossop, a Latin America economist at Capital Economics Ltd. in London, wrote in a note to clients. “This would result in smoother debt-restructuring talks and higher recovery values on bonds.”

Glossop estimates that under that scenario, which he sees as the most likely, recovery values would be between 50 and 60 cents. But if there’s a breakdown in the IMF deal and the government ends up using foreign reserves to pay near-term debts, he says the peso would likely slump and prompt a disorderly default, which could bring those to between 30 and 40 cents.

Argentina May Rely on Capital Control to Spare Reserves: Amherst

“If the next administration doesn’t manage to have market confidence, funding will be limited and will require a haircut to face obligations,” said Carolina Gialdi, a senior fixed-income strategist at BTG Pactual Argentina in Buenos Aires.
