Dana, Creditors Battle for Better Terms on $920 Million Sukuk Repayment

By Nikhil Lohade

Dana Gas  DANA.AD 0.00% has failed to repay a $920 million Islamic bond that came due Wednesday, arguably the first U.A.E. company to do so. But not many are jumping to call it a default. Yet. Sure, the company technically still has a three-day grace period to meet its obligations after the bonds matured. But if they haven’t paid yet, the chances are slim that they will do so in the next 72 hours. Which leaves the sukuk holders—including two large asset management firms Blackrock Inc. BLK -0.29% of the U.S. and the U.K.’s Ashmore Investment Management, part of Ashmore Group PLC ASHM.LN -0.88%with no options but to seek legal recourse to retrieve the money that the company owes them. And that is what they are planning to do, according to a person involved in the matter. But Dana‘s response seems more feisty than you’d expect for a company that’s potentially facing claims on its assets. The Sharjah-based energy company graciously acknowledged on Thursday its failure to repay the bond on maturity, while noting that discussions are ongoing with the debt holders to amend the terms of the sukuk and extend its maturity. Two starkly different views are being played out publicly. The truth, though, likely lies somewhere in between. Dana’s inability to meet this debt repayment is not really surprising to most investors. The company had about $141 million in cash at the end of September and continues to be in talks with the governments in Egypt and Iraq’s Kurdistan region for about $570 million of late payments. The two sides–Dana and the sukuk holders–have been in talks over the debt repayment for months. Both are represented by high profile advisers. That they still couldn’t come up with a deal is difficult to digest. What is more likely is that both are hardballing each other for some last minute advantages, said one Abu Dhabi-based broker. A broader understanding is likely to be in place for Dana Gas to restructure its sukuk, while both sides may have held out for the due date to put more pressure on the other, he added. A legal battle may be an option, but it’s not one that either side would want to embark upon in a hurry. While some bits of the sukuk documentation are subject to the jurisdiction of the English Courts, the “Mudarabah agreement” itself (a shariah-compliant  agreement in which one party invests  the capital and the other manages the business) and asset pledges are governed by U.A.E. law. What is more likely is that Dana Gas and the sukuk holders over the next few days will thrash out a deal to restructure the sukuk. At least that’s what the market is betting on today: Dana Gas shares traded up 2.4% Thursday, after tumbling some 13% over the past two days.
