As the digital asset landscape matures, investors face a choice between the hardware manufacturers and the infrastructure operators.

Braskem SA , the Brazilian petrochemical company, will present a debt restructuring plan to creditors that will include debt maturity extension, reduced coupon payments and more grace periods, according to a person familiar with the situation. The plan, which is expected to be presented soon, will not include a capital injection or a debt to equity swap, said the person, who asked not to be named discussing private conversations. Braskem is seeking backing from creditors to begin an out-of-court restructuring process ahead of debt payments scheduled for July, Bloomberg previously reported. The plans come after the Braskem shares owned by Novonor SA were transferred Wednesday to a fund run by private equity firm IG4 Capital, which now has joint control of Braskem with Petrobras SA. Braskem is trying to keep control of a Mexican subsidiary, Braskem Idesa, which it owns along with the Mexican firm Idesa. Braskem Idesa is currently trying to renegotiate contracts with Pemex after failing to make certain debt payments, the person said. The Brazilian parent company is said to be evaluating a potential out-of-court restructuring filing once it secures support from holders of one third of its debt. Reaching that threshold would allow the company to obtain a 90-day standstill on debt payments. If the standstill is agreed to, Braskem is aiming to enter the out-of-court process with the agreement of bondholders and banks on the broad terms of its restructuring, the people said. In the 90-day period, the company would seek support from creditors representing a majority of the debt, which is needed to approve a final restructuring plan. Seeking court protection through a so-called precautionary measure remains a possibility, some of the people said. Braskem didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment.
