Buenos Aires Province Ends All Overseas Bondholder Lawsuits With 2021-Style Deal

By matching the 2021 swap, the deal extends maturities to 2037, clearing remaining holdout claims.

Overview

  • The economy ministry said New York judgments were settled and German actions were withdrawn, closing all remaining cases tied to the 2021 non-exchanged bonds.
  • Holdouts will receive the same quantity of dollar Bonos A due 2037 they would have obtained in the 2021 swap plus a cash payment equal to debt service accrued and paid since then.
  • Media citing official explanations report $38.7 million in cash and Bonos A valued around $67 million to resolve a revised U.S. judgment of $169 million.
  • The accord caps disputes left by fewer than 3% of creditors after the 2020–2021 restructuring that exchanged 97.66% of foreign-law bonds issued heavily between 2016 and 2019.
  • Officials describe a good-faith, mutually beneficial mediation that reinforces debt sustainability and planning as provincial finances face reduced national transfers and halted public works.
