Pimco bond fund has already recorded a profit of 17 percent on paper on its part of the Emergency Cases of Emergency Cases of £ 3 billion, which other lenders have set up to provide a sick Thame Water service.

News of profit come before appeal against the loan at the appellant’s court, starting on Tuesday.
Temma waterThe largest British water company with 16 million customers in and around London, last month, requested a high court approval to borrow up to £ 3 billion from its highest Class A creditors. Already fighting under the £ 19.5 billion, pounds of debt, the additional borrowing is designed to give it a breathing space to raise capital from new investors and negotiate their debts.
The court approved the agreement, despite the opposition of environmental activists and the rival group group. However, in the final obstacle to the loan of rescue, the Liberal Democrat MP Charlie Maynard and the junior creditors of the utility company challenge the agreement.
In addition to Pimco, the rescue loan is provided by lenders, including US HEDGE Funds Elliott Management and Silver Point. The consortium charges the themes of the water with a interest rate of 9.75 percent plus other fees and sweeteners, which could cost the utility total An excess of £ 800 million.
Although the loan has not yet been completed, bond investors have already traded debt on the basis of being approved. Some traders quoted 112 percent of their faces.
Pimco’s accounts show that class loan as a level 3 assets, which means that its assessment is based on factors that are not just market prices. Pimco refused to comment.
The time of Pimco’s applications means that the property manager recorded a loan gain after committing himself to the financing package, but before the new money was approved by the High Court.
Justice Lech, a referee who approved a loan agreement last month, said his interest rate was “very, very high”, and the total cost of the financing package would leave customers “scared”.
He added that “the immediate price of” loan trading in the secondary market suggested that Thames Water “may have found better conditions on the market than new donors.”
The agreement offered by the creditors of the older class A faced the competition of a group of creditors relating to the “Class B juniors”, including the London Capital Capital Fund, which suggested its own £ 3 billion financing package at cheaper 8 percent interest rates.
Maynard and others argued that the temporary nationalization of the Temza water in accordance with the government’s special regime of the Management Board would spare the utility service of the payment of hundreds of millions of pounds in interest and compensation for lenders.
“Our case is strong and not strong, we would not get all four reasons for the appeal we were looking for,” Maynard told the Financial Times of the Appeon. He added that the acceptance of the case was the Supreme Court if the appealing court against him was an “option”.
Speaking after the verdict last month, class creditors said that the administration “would signal a regulatory failure and impose billions of additional costs to taxpayers in the UK”.
