Feb 9 (Reuters) - Ukrainian state-owned natural gas
company Naftogaz, which is in default, on Thursday offered new
terms to bondholders and said it had held meaningful
consultations on restructuring its liabilities.
Last year holders of two of its three main international
bonds refused to sign up to a debt payment deferral plan.
"Naftogaz has already held several meaningful consultations
on the restructuring of its liabilities," the firm said in a
message on Telegram.
Naftogaz is offering to defer paying the principal on a 2022
Eurobond until July 19, 2024. It also proposes paying back the
principal on a 2026 Eurobond, with half due on Nov. 8, 2027 and
half due on Nov. 8, 2028.
"We are negotiating with the holders on terms and conditions
that may be acceptable to both parties - for investors and our
group of companies," Naftogaz Chief Executive Oleksiy Chernyshov
said in the Telegram message.
