Core Viewpoint - Far East Consortium International Ltd. is exhibiting unusual behavior by repurchasing its perpetual bonds and then selling them at a loss, signaling a lack of confidence in its own financial outlook [5][11].

Group 2: Market Implications - The termination of a significant asset swap deal with The Star Entertainment, which was expected to benefit all parties involved, further reflects the company's deteriorating position and strategy [13][14]. - The company is reportedly preparing for new debt issuance, raising questions about its credibility given its recent actions regarding perpetual bonds and dividend payments [16][17]. - The company's strategy of "self-shortening" may be aimed at creating conditions for a low-cost redemption of its perpetual bonds, which could complicate its ability to issue new debt in the future [18][19].
