Overview:

  • Woongjin Energy has undergone debt restructuring in the amount of W170 billion ($150 million).
  • As the company could not fully repay its warrant bonds, and its FX bonds are due and payable in December 2015, it convened a meeting of bondholders to change the terms of said bonds.
  • Woongjin Group has been struggling in recent years and Woongjin Holdings and its construction affiliate filed for a court restructuring programme back in 2012.
