FT Alphaville: ISDA Greece Credit Event Around Here?

Personally I don’t think it will be a Credit Event at this stage. They have tried to make the new ECB bonds as similar as possible to the old bonds.  Is not being subjected to a law the same as being made senior? I think it is worth a shot, but not sure it wins. On the other hand, English law bonds which have pari passu clauses and some tender protection may have a case for an event of default under their bonds- which would then trigger ISDA.

In any case, even if ISDA says this “subordination” is not a Credit Event, they will likely make clear (again) that triggering CAC’s would be a Credit Event.
