TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

The French-based car rental firm said on Tuesday it’s seeking talks with creditors on restructuring its debts, in an effort to stop following its larger and more famous peer Hertz into bankruptcy.

Europcar stock fell as much as 30% on the news, while its bonds due in 2024 and 2026 fell as much as 13 points, to trade around 37% of face value. If that’s all the bondholders think their investment is worth, then current shareholders, first and foremost French investment firm Eurazeo (PA:EURA) – are looking at a very negative outcome.
