•GREECE ISSUES STATEMENT ON DEBT SWAP

The biggest sovereign debt restructuring in history is now, well, history. The headlines are finally come in:

  • GREECE COMPLETES DEBT SWAP
  • GREECE SAYS EU172 BLN OF BONDS TENDERED IN SWAP
  • GREECE GETS TENDERS, CONSENTS FROM HOLDERS OF 85.8%
  • GREECE SAYS 69% OF NON-GREEK LAW BONDHOLDERS PARTICIPATED

We learn that €152 of the €177 billion in Greek law bonds have tendered, which is 85.8%. This means that €25 billion in Greek law bonds have not - these are the hedge funds that could not be Steven Rattnered into participating, and will now sue Greece for par recoveries.This is also the number that ISDA will look at today to determine if, in conjunction with the CAC, means a credit event has occurred. And yes, the CACs are coming, as is the Credit Event finding: by http://www.zerohedge.com/
