It's all about refinancing ... this will jump 30p if the refinance goes through with no significant dilution .. mgmt might reject the first counter offer as they've got until November and by then there should be a lot more cruise activity and pre-bookings to give the bond holders confidence.Guessing 2021 cruising will be subdued ... and 2022 will be epic

V.Quiet on here - although the market seems to like the update even though it was largely non comital about 2021 prospects

? You'll have to talk me through that one, Sbb1x.

52 weeks takes us back to February 2020, not December 2020.

Bailed out, too risky, unclear how the bond situation will be resolved. Will be watching from the sidelines.

But on the positive side if the present situation can be weathered:Oceania Cruises' 2023 world cruise sold out in one day, according to a statement from Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), which owns the Oceania Cruises brand along with Norwegian Cruise Line and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/24340-cruise-demand-surges-as-oceania-world-cruise-sells-out-in-a-day.html?s=0

Something up? Mandleson selling :)

Don't look good here.

Guessing the counter offer by bondholder forgiveness is a 99% equity grap and the present equity is now worthless

Ok ... bonds trading up now at 82.50. This is getting refinanced. Go on the website, you have to request a copy of the proposal to bond holders, but don't have to be a bond holder. Not unreasonable terms, around 6.5% cash paid or 8% pik for a couple of years. I guarantee you as soon as the pensioners are vaccinated (less than two months now) the first thing slot of them will be doing is booking a cruise. ..

Refinancing of Eurobond

Isletmeleri A.S. (the "Issuer") has today published a proposal to the
holders of its $250,000,000 8.125% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 (the
"Notes") for the refinancing of the Notes.

This aims to address the upcoming maturity and provide the business with a
more stable, deleveraged capital structure.

The documentation related to such proposal is subject in full to the
disclaimers set out therein. By accessing this documentation, you will be
deemed to have acknowledged, accepted and agreed to be bound by such

It says it will lead to a more stable deleveraged capital structure.

You can draw your own interpretation but this implies less bonds going forward...

I don't know what the prospectus says

[dartboard1] 08/1/2021 10:55

Please post a link if anyone finds details of the proposal

[dartboard1] 08/1/2021 10:39

So, GPH have sent a proposal to their bond holders today. Not sure details are publicly available yet.But, the price of the bonds has risen lately from 72 up to 79... this is looking good for the refinancing and removing the main downward pressure on the share price (other than no boats coming to their ports... lol) .. I bought these as a bet on them refinancing these, so hopefully it's in motion

And yes, they've sold the commercial port (or agreed to sell it), but the Eurobonds were issued in 2014 when their cruise business was much smaller, so passenger numbers and revenue stream is much bigger now (or at least it is when they're allowed to open). Meanwhile the price of the bonds which traded down to 45 is back up above 70 implying quite a good chance of repayment... under the circumstances

[dartboard1] 08/12/2020 11:28

The parent company won't want to dilute their own equity, and looking at their own balance sheet doesn't look like they could fund it themselves. So pretty sure the idea is to refinance the Eurobonds with a new bond. If ships start to sale again, then it shouldn't be a problem just will depend on what interest rate they need to pay investors. Remember they raised a $150m bond at 8% to fund Nassau and this was at peak Corona panic in May
