What might Nakheel 2010 bondholders be offered?

FINANCIALS

Nakheel [NAKHD.UL] is one of two property arms of state-owned conglomerate Dubai World [DBWLD.UL], which stunned global markets in November when it asked for a delay in repaying $26 billion in debt. IMF estimates suggest that 80 percent of Nakheel's bondholders are local UAE banks.

Sources told Reuters that repayment is unlikely but all options remain on the table.
