Cementos Portland Valderrivas debt negotiations stall

11 May 2016

Spain: The refinancing of a Euro825m loan of cement producer Cementos Portland Valderrivas has stalled. Fomento de Construcciones & Contratas SA (FCC) offered a 10% ‘haircut’ to the loan which matures in July 2016 but the offer has been rejected by the company’s creditors.

After a recent Euro709m capital hike FCC has set aside around Euro300m to appease creditors, according to the Expansión newspaper.
