据路透社10月12日消息,委内瑞拉国家石油公司PDVSA周三晚间宣布,已再次将本期债券置换期限从10月12日延长至10月17日。
现金流紧张的委国油本月早些时候已将此期限延长一次,并曾表示债券持有人参与度低于一项关键阈值。
委国油上月在其美国子公司西果控股公司的支持下,提出将未兑现的71亿美元旧债券置换为新债券,以此缓解现金流紧张的问题。
但是该提议引起了市场疑虑,总部位于加拉加斯的委国油上月下旬优化了条款,为兑换2017年到期债券而提供了更多的2020年到期债券。

Venezuela PDVSA again extends bond swap deadline
Oct 12 Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA said on Wednesday night it was again extending a deadline for a bond swap to Oct. 17 from Oct. 12.
The cash-strapped company had already extended the first deadline earlier this month and said that bondholder participation was below a key threshold.
PDVSA last month offered to swap $7.1 billion in outstanding issues for a new bond, backed by its U.S. subsidiary Citgo Holding Inc, to boost its cash-strapped coffers.
But the proposal drew market scepticism, so the Caracas-based company late last month sweetened the terms, offering more 2020 bonds in exchange for bonds maturing in 2017.
