CDS relevance

• Forbearance and restructuring support agreements usually come before a distressed exchange, a missed payment or a court-supervised restructuring.
• A restructuring that binds all holders and reduces principal, interest or seniority can be a Restructuring Credit Event under some CDS terms; many US contracts trade without that event.
• A filing is not a Credit Event: for standard contracts only the Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee decides that, and whether single-name CDS reference this legal entity must be checked separately.

What to watch next

• Whether the agreement leads to an exchange offer or a Chapter 11 filing.
• Which obligations and which legal entities the agreement covers.

General information about how CDS documentation treats this kind of event, not legal or investment advice, and not a statement that a Credit Event has occurred.
