ciao MARK bentornato.
Non conosco bene i motivi della tua assenza ma spero sia tutto ok !!!
venedo alle cose materiali, hai news sul hellas II ???
il prezzo è ancora compresso verso i 13/15, le scatole son sempre quelle, sembra ci sia un qualche interesse ad assorbire i debiti...insomma, c'è qualche cavaliere bianco ???
Ciao Nick, come si era detto, il problema della società è nel debito, e nel fatto che, occorrendo ristrutturare, i creditori seniores reputano che i bondholders il cui debito è subordinato al loro debbano accontentarsi di poco rispetto all'ipotesi default, in quanto il valore della Wind Hellas, ove fosse lasciata fallire sarebbe tale da lasciare i bondholders di Hellas II con niente o quasi...
Ovviamente i bondholders non sono di questo avviso e si sta negoziando... i bh stanno preparando un'offerta di ristrutturazione, i seniores si sono offerti di anticipare gli interessi da pagare sul debito affinché la trattativa possa procedere...
Chi compra i bond punta su un accordo che soddisfi anche i bondholders con un haircut che faccia emergere del valore ed eviti il default, da quanto intendo...
Wind Hellas bondholders prepare restructuring offer

* Bondholders ready Wind Hellas restructuring proposal
* Senior lenders offer loan to cover interest payment
* Bondholders object to low valuation of company

LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Bondholders of debt-laden Greek telecom company Wind Hellas [WINVTH.UL] will submit an offer in the next few days to help restructure the company's finances, major bond investor Aladdin Capital said on Tuesday.
Competing restructuring offers are due shortly as Wind Hellas -- Greece's third-largest telecom company -- seeks to manage a 3.2 billion euro ($4.74 billion) debt load and see it past a looming interest payment deadline.
A committee of bondholders, coordinated by Aladdin, plan to submit a proposal as part of the financial restructuring, Aladdin's Michael Hodges told Reuters.
The deadline for proposals is next week, a week later than originally announced by parent company Hellas Telecommunications II, a source close to the situation said.
Only one proposal has been received so far: an offer from senior lenders to provide a loan to cover the 67 million euro Oct. 15 interest payment, the source said.
Wind Hellas declined to comment. At June 30 Wind Hellas had just 32 million euros of cash, company reports show.
Bondholders, who rank behind senior lenders in the repayment queue, are concerned a restructuring could squeeze out their holdings because 1.8 billion euros of senior debt stands in front of their claims.
"The company has too much leverage on it but we don't believe that deleveraging leaves us with zero," Hodges said.
Hodges said Wind Hellas is a "good asset" and is worth substantially more than 2 billion euros, meaning bondholders retain an economic interest in the restructuring. Others have suggested valuations of less than 2 billion euros.
Hodges co-ordinates a so-called "ad-hoc committee" of bondholders owed some 500 million euros.
He said the committee "fundamentally disagree(s) with a low valuation of the company" and said some committee members were interested in exploring a buyout of the company to take advantage of what they thought was an under-valuation.
Other restructuring offers may come from current owner Naguib Sawiris or from Apax Partners and TPG, reports have said. The private equity pair sold Wind Hellas to Sawiris's company Weather Investments in 2007.
Advisers to the bondholder committee are PricewaterhouseCoopers and Jones Day. Morgan Stanley and Ernst & Young are advising Wind Hellas
