China Evergrande Group’s main unit Hengda Real Estate Group has reached an agreement with bondholders to delay payments for a 4.5 billion yuan ($707.52 million) onshore bond, Hengda said in a filing on Thursday.
The company had been seeking a six-month delay for redemption and coupon payments on its 6.98 percent January 2023 bond at a meeting with bondholders held Jan. 7-13.
The putable bond gave holders the right to sell them back to the issuer early on Jan. 8.
