Dr. Peng Telecom & Media Group: On Ventilator

Dr. Peng Telecom & Media Group Company Limited (Dr. Peng) is a guarantor of Dr. Peng Hong Kong Holding Limited, an issuer of USD500m bonds maturing 1st June 2020 (CHEDRP 5.05% 6/20s). This report focuses on the liquidity situation, and the maturity extension request.

 The company’s credit outlook over the next 12 months remains negative, in our view, given its weakening liquidity and the asset sale which we believe will increase execution risk and take away recurring revenue in the long run.

 As we expected, Dr. Peng has approached bondholders to ask for a maturity extension. The 7-May offer of multiple installments and consent fee is more attractive to bondholders than waiting for the company to default and salvage on a recovery value of 46.6 cents on the dollar (EXHIBIT 4), which is based on the upcoming sale of the Company’s internet data center and the redemption of CNY1bn bonds in April.
