Vedanta Resources Ltd is widely reported to be exploring asset-liability management related to the USD bonds due in 2024 and 2025. The plan apparently involves: [1] repaying USD 500 mn of the secured USD 1 bn 13.875% January 2024 notes, while rolling the remaining principal into the unsecured USD 9.25% 2026 notes; [2] converting the USD 950 mn 6.125% August 2024 notes into new secured notes due in 2026; and [3] redeeming USD 250 mn of the USD 1.2 bn 2025 notes, while exchanging the remaining principal into a new bond due in 2027. The proposal might not be well-received by the affected bondholders, who would likely expect full repayment at maturity. We move to “Hold” on the VEDLN notes from “Buy”.
