Fresnillo Share News (FRES)

- 85.8 per cent of private creditors accept Greek bond-swap.- Miners on the fall, Fresnillo falls after downgrade.- Weir loses out to FLSmidth.It was a tentative start for the FTSE 100 on Friday as news of Greece receiving a high participation rate in its debt-swap deal underwhelmed investors with questions still remaining over the outlook for the debt-laden country. Stocks swung between gains and losses in the opening hour.Greece has announced that 85.8% of its private bondholders have decided to accept a "voluntary" 53.5% haircut on their debt. At the same time Athens has indicated that it plans to implement the collective action clauses (CACs) that will force all non-accepting investors to exchange their debt, thus resulting in a full participation rate of 95.7%. The Greek Finance Ministry stated that €172bn had been tendered in the offer, consisting of €152bn in bonds governed by Greek law (and thus subject to the CACs) and an additional €20bn governed by international law and issued by public companies. In this last case, only 69% of the bondholders accepted the deal, so the Hellenic Republic has decided to extend the deadline on the offer to March 23rd. The question remains as to whether this will be considered a default or not. The International Swaps and Derivates Association (ISDA) will meet this afternoon to discuss the question and to determine whether a credit event has occurred.FRESNILLO FALLS AFTER DOWNGRADESilver and gold miner Fresnillo was the heaviest faller after Deutsche Bank downgraded its rating on the stock from buy to hold and cut its target from 1,925p to 1,875p.
