Hungary: Masterplast has entered talks with a ‘major Hungarian lender’ to refinance its debt following concerns over its liquidity. It is reportedly requesting a one-time exemption from its bond obligations to allow for a new credit line of up to €7.6m for a three-year term, according to the producer. Its bondholders are currently voting on the proposal. Bne IntelliNews has reported that the developments follow ratings agency Scope Ratings’ downgrading of Masterplast’s rating to CCC.
Masterplast CEO Tibor David said that talks are ‘progressing well.’
