China Vanke, one of China's largest property developers, has requested a 30-day grace period for bond payments worth 2 billion yuan (approximately US$283.6 million) that matured on December 15, 2025. The original grace period was only five days, but Vanke is seeking to extend this to 30 trading days.

Key Proposals in the Request

The company has made several key proposals as part of its request:

1. Extended grace period: Seeking to change the grace period from 5 days to 30 trading days
2. Deferred principal payment: Proposing to defer the principal payment for one year
3. Interest payment: Committing to pay 60 million yuan in interest by December 22, 2025

This development comes amid ongoing challenges in China's property development sector, where several major players have faced liquidity issues. Vanke's proposal indicates the company's efforts to manage its debt obligations while navigating these difficult market conditions. The outcome of this request will be closely watched by investors and could have implications for the broader Chinese property sector.
