Vestel Elektronik (ISIN TRAVESTL91H6) offered bondholders two restructuring choices on October 20, 2026, as the Turkish appliance maker seeks to reshape USD 500 million of 2029 debt. Bloomberg reported that investors can accept a 45 percent principal haircut or extend maturity by six years.

Two paths for bondholders

The first option preserves principal and extends maturity from May 15, 2029, to May 15, 2035, while cutting the annual coupon from 9.75 percent to 4.00 percent. The second exchanges existing notes for new bonds due in 2032 and worth 55 percent of the original principal, with a 6.00 percent coupon, according to Turkiye Today.

What does the restructuring mean?

The proposal highlights the pressure on Vestel's balance sheet. In the first half of 2026, revenue fell 47.8 percent year over year to TRY 46.9 billion, while net loss reached TRY 10.3 billion and net financial debt stood at TRY 106.1 billion, Turkiye Today reported on October 21, 2026. The figures make the choice between dilution of bond principal and a longer repayment schedule central to the company's recovery effort.

Credit pressure has deepened

Vestel proposed restructuring bank debt to a 2041 maturity with a two-year grace period on principal and interest on June 26, 2026. Moody's then cut the company's long-term corporate family rating from Caa3 to Ca on October 2, 2026, while the rating on its 2029 bonds fell from Caa3 to C, as CNBCE reported.

Bondholder dates are next

Voting instructions for the exchange offer are due by 4:00 p.m. London time on November 6, 2026. Bondholders are scheduled to vote at an online meeting at 10:00 a.m. London time on November 11, 2026, according to Turkiye Today. The exchange requires bondholder approval and regulatory clearance for the new 2032 securities.
