We believe China South City's (CSC) proposed bond extension is overall acceptable to bondholders. The company plans to continue paying coupons in cash, albeit at a reduced coupon rate. In addition, the absence of a haircut would preserve bondholders' claims.
We note negatively that the amortisation payments would only begin in 2026. This reflects the company's very tight liquidity, considering its failure to pay the coupon in November 2023 and the dismal H1/23-24 results. Moreover, CSC is not proposing to add new credit enhancement measures, even though the latest extension has demonstrated the failure of the existing keepwell deed and asset pledge to ensure offshore debt repayment. CSC has ceased disclosure of quarterly contracted sales since 2022, and we believe it has now fully shifted business focus to commercial properties. However, the company's commercial properties were affected by a depressed macro market and lower demand for leasing, and we do not foresee a related turnaround in the near future. Liquidity was extremely weak, with Cash/ST Debt of only 9% as of end-September.
