Ipic pays interest on Malaysian bonds amid dispute | The National

Ipic pays interest on Malaysian bonds amid dispute | The National:

"Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund paid interest on 1Malaysia Development Berhad’s (1MDB) bonds amid a dispute between the two on who was required to meet the debt obligations. 1MDB’s bonds surged.

1MDB defaulted on another coupon payment, the International Petroleum Investment Company (Ipic) said in a filing on the London Stock Exchange. Ipic paid US$52.4 million on 1MDB’s 5.99 per cent dollar-denominated notes that it had guaranteed, it said. 1MDB did not immediately comment on the Ipic statement.

The two funds have been locked in a dispute that spilt over to repayments on 1MDB bonds. That led to a default by 1MDB in April, hitting the reputation of the Malaysian government, which is its sole shareholder. Ipic subsequently made the $50m interest payment, and said yesterday that it was asking 1MDB and Malaysia for a reimbursement."
