What happened

Filed document

Brightwater Energy completed an exchange of its 2030 notes into secured 2033 notes. Participating holders also voted to remove most covenants from the old notes.

As stated in: Exchange offer results.

Why it may matter for CDS

CDSBench interpretation

Whether the exchange is a Restructuring depends on whether it binds all holders; exit consents bind non-participants only to the covenant changes. The new secured notes may become the cheapest-to-deliver if a later event occurs.

CDSBench’s reading, not part of the source and not a statement that a Credit Event has occurred. General information, not legal or investment advice.

What is established

  • 87% of the 2030 notes were exchanged.
  • Covenants on the remaining 2030 notes were removed.

What remains unresolved

  • Whether the covenant strip is treated as binding all holders.
  • The effect on the Reference Obligation.
