At the beginning of this week, a joint statement was released from the three major bondholders’ groups (Ad-Hoc, Exchange and ACC) rejecting the "final" proposal to exchange bonds with foreign law. Although in legal terms they accepted some proposals made by the government, in terms of present value the new counterproposal presented by the bondholders differs by approximately USD 3 compared to the last Argentina offer. In several public statements, Guzmán again expressed that the offer made was the last and that it is the greatest effort the country could make. If these 3 groups of bondholders finally reject the proposal, the swap runs the risk of not being carried out due to their high holding percentages and the minimum participation threshold that was incorporated in the amended prospectus. We are cautious about the government's ability to negotiate with these groups, but we also believe that the distance that separates the 2 offers is relatively small to end in a total breakdown of negotiations and taking into account their level of progress.

The final the sovereign debt swap proposal was disclosed. Initial analyses indicate that there was a strong improvement with respect to the initial offer, many the results of negotiations with bondholders groups. Although the present value of the offer is very close to creditor’s requests, prospectus presented to the SEC continues to maintain some controversies such as the redesignation of series. The positive side is that it was accepted that bondholders of the previous swap can keep the 2005 contract in the new bonds. Although some smaller funds (Gramercy, Fintech) have already made public their support for the proposal, the largest groups (Ad-Hoc and Exchange) answer was initially negative and we understand that the acceptance of these groups will depend on the success or not of the exchange.

Finally, the final proposal for the sovereign debt exchange was disclosed. Our first analysis indicates that there was a strong improvement compared to the initial offer, mostly as a result of negotiations with bondholders groups. Although in present value the offer is close to creditors’ requests, the prospectus filed at the SEC continues to maintain some controversies such as the redesignation of series. The positive side is that it was accepted that bondholders of the previous swap may keep the 2005 contract in the new bonds. Although some smaller funds (Gramercy, Fintech) have already made public their support for the proposal, it remains to be seen the position of the larger funds of the Ad-Hoc committee, which have just disclosed that small improvements should be included, indicating that the final offer was not consensual.

During last week there were no major news regarding the debt exchange. Although the latest proposals note a small difference in present value (approximately USD 5-7) between the bondholders' proposals and the official offer, the discrepancy seems to be on the contractual and legal side. Argentina wants to issue the bonds under the 2016 indenture, while certain groups seek all or part of the issue under the 2005 one, with broader legal clauses and greater protection for the creditor. On the other hand, there would also appear to be discrepancies between contingent coupons and current interest payments.

In harsh cross-statements, the government and the various groups of bondholders appear to have frozen the debt exchange negotiations. Although the latest proposals show a small difference in present value (approximately USD 5-7) between the bondholders' proposals and the official offering, the discrepancy seems to be on the contractual side. Argentina wants to issue the bonds under the 2016 indenture, while certain groups seek all or part of the issue under the 2005 one, with broader legal clauses and greater protection for the creditor. On the other hand, there would also appear to be discrepancies between contingent coupons and current interest payments.
