The Ministry of Finance has announced the successful completion of its Eurobond debt exchange and consent solicitation process.<\/p>\n
The initiative, which aims to restructure Ghana\u2019s Eurobond debt, has received overwhelming support from bondholders, marking a significant milestone in the country\u2019s economic recovery efforts.<\/p>\n
Launched on September 5, 2024, the offer invited eligible holders of Ghana\u2019s Eurobonds to exchange their existing bonds for new ones under two menu options\u2014Par and Disco.<\/p>\n
As of the final expiration deadline on September 30, 2024, 98.6% of bondholders, representing the recognized principal amount of the existing bonds, participated in the offer.<\/p>\n
During the bondholder meetings on Thursday, October 3, holders of the 2013, 2014, and 2015 WB-Guaranteed Notes passed extraordinary resolutions with over 90% representation, enabling the restructuring process to proceed smoothly.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, for Aggregated CAC Notes, consents exceeded 98.7%, meeting the required thresholds for the exchange.<\/p>\n
A majority of bondholders (91% of the principal amount) opted for the Disco menu of new notes, while 7.6% chose the Par menu, which remained under its cap of U.S. $1.6 billion, leaving a balance of U.S. $605 million available for future allocation.<\/p>\n
Subject to the terms of the exchange, a total of U.S. $126 million in consent fees will be distributed to eligible bondholders who submitted their instructions by the early consent deadline.<\/p>\n
The new bonds are expected to be issued on or around October 9, 2024, with full settlement to follow shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n
The successful completion of this exchange is a critical step in Ghana\u2019s broader debt restructuring efforts under its International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, further strengthening the country\u2019s path towards debt sustainability and normalizing relations with international capital markets.<\/p>\n
The Government of Ghana expressed gratitude to bondholders for their participation and support, emphasizing that this successful outcome reflects a shared commitment to restoring the country\u2019s economic stability.<\/p>\n
In preparation for the issue date, all existing Eurobonds, including those for which no consent or exchange instructions were given, will be blocked from trading to ensure a smooth final settlement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
