Bondholders of Codere SA will take control of the business as part of a deal to restructure its debt for the second time since the beginning of the pandemic.

The Madrid-based company reached an agreement with a group of creditors to convert about 350 million euros ($422 million) of debt into equity, according to a filing on Thursday. Bondholders will provide 225 million euros of new funds to boost Codere’s liquidity.

The gaming group has been heavily hit by Covid-19, as most of its sites in Spain, Italy and Latin America have either closed or operated with restrictions since March last year. Losses rose to 237 million euros in 2020, up from 67 million euros a year earlier.

The firm already extended the maturity of its debt and raised new super-senior debt in the summer to counter the negative impact of site closures.

As part of the new deal, almost half of its existing senior debt will be converted into equity. The remainder will be partially amended or converted into subordinated notes that pay interest with more debt. The new financing includes a new 100 million-euro loan, and 125 million euros of super senior notes.
