Noble wins $3.5b debt restructuring deal

The plan reportedly will allow creditors to cash-in on shares from a debt-to-equity swap.

According to Bloomberg, citing a Debtwire report, Noble Group Ltd. has reached the outline of an agreement with its creditors to restructure about $3.5b in debt, paving the way for an investor to take a controlling stake in the company.

The agreement with bondholders and lenders was reached after meetings in London earlier this week, according to Debtwire. If implemented, the plan would give Noble access to working capital at a cheaper cost, and allow creditors to cash-in on shares obtained from a debt-to-equity swap via a sale to the strategic investor, it said.

A framework had been agreed between the parties, with some issues to be worked through, according to the report. An external spokeswoman for Noble Group said she couldn’t immediately comment on the Debtwire report.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
