A Dana Gas default | FT Alphaville

From Bloomberg earlier on Monday:

*DANA ASKS HOLDERS TO CONFIRM WISH FOR SUKUK TRUST DISSOLUTION
*DANA GAS SAYS ‘DISSOLUTION EVENT HAS OCCURRED’ ON SUKUK
Nov. 5 (Bloomberg) — Co. asks certificate holders to confirm whether they wish for the trust to be dissolved, according to statement carried by the regulatory news service.

That notice, says Exotix’s Gus Chehayeb, officially confirms that a technical default has occurred on Dana’s $920m Islamic bond, and that there was no official standstill agreement in place.

The default could also be a first for UAE public bonds.
