Greenland launched the consent solicitation on May 27 where it proposed extending the bond with a 10% upfront payment on the original maturity date whilst the coupon would remain unchanged. The bonds, issued by Greenland Global Investment and guaranteed by the parent, are trading at 46.4 cents on the dollar. Prior to the consent solicitation, they were trading at about 90 cents on the dollar.
