Core Viewpoint - The restructuring plan proposed by CIFI Group has not received approval from investors, leading to a deadlock in negotiations [1][4]. Group 1: Restructuring Progress - As of July 22, 2025, CIFI has not reached a new repayment arrangement with bondholders and has failed to secure sufficient funds for repayment by the original due date [2][17]. - The initial restructuring plan was announced on May 23, 2025, and was further optimized on July 8, 2025, but the bondholders of "20 CIFI 01" did not approve the plan [2][14]. - Out of seven bonds involved in the restructuring, four have had their plans approved by investors, while the "20 CIFI 01" bond has not [2][15]. Group 2: Investor Meetings and Voting - The first investor meeting convened by "20 CIFI 01" bondholders was declared invalid, prompting the organization of a second meeting [6][21]. - The second investor meeting, held from July 11 to July 15, 2025, resulted in the approval of six proposals, with 70 investors present, representing 50.46% of the outstanding bond balance [11][15]. - The voting rules for "20 CIFI 01" require a "double 50%" approval, meaning both 50% attendance and 50% agreement from attendees are necessary for passage [17][20]. Group 3: Investor Reactions and Disagreements - A significant number of investors, approximately 80, declared they would not participate in CIFI's investor meetings, indicating strong opposition to the proposed restructuring [8][21]. - There is a division among investors, with some accepting the revised restructuring plan while others, led by Chen Guangchuan, continue to oppose it [17][22]. - The legal opinion issued for the second investor meeting indicated that the proposals passed would not be binding on CIFI unless confirmed in writing by the issuer [19][23]. Group 4: Implications of Non-Approval - The failure to approve the restructuring plan for "20 CIFI 01" raises questions about whether it constitutes a substantive default, with differing views between the issuer and investors [19][20]. - CIFI believes that the existence of cross-default waivers in previous agreements means that a default on one bond will not affect the restructuring of others [22][23]. - The company has taken steps to move forward with the four bonds that have received approval, although specific plans for these bonds have not yet been clarified [23].
