Vedanta Resources (VRL) has launched a consent solicitation for an extensive liability management exercise. The company is seeking consent from noteholders of its four bonds to extend the maturities of three of the bonds (the January 2024, August 2024 and 2025 notes) to 2027-2028. There will be no haircut on the principal, and the coupon for the August 2024 notes and 2025 notes will be increased to match that of the January 2024 notes. In our opinion, the terms of the proposal are mixed and the timeline is very tight. Failure to receive the requisite consent may lead to the company defaulting on the January 2024 notes. The new financing cannot be used to repay the January 2024 notes if the liability management exercise does not go through. In this case, there would be no time for VRL to come up with a revised proposal before the maturity of the January 2024 notes. We acknowledge the company's efforts in terms of the improved security packages and higher coupons. We recommend that noteholders accept the proposal and provide consent.
