WASHINGTON, D.C., 9th September 2019 – The Office of Foreign Assets Control decided to modify General License 5, which authorizes transactions related to the PDVSA 2020 bond guaranteed by 50.1% of CITGO’s shares. The previous license would have allowed the creditors of the 2020 bond to get the collateral after the expected default of PDVSA this Monday, when $913 million of the bond’s principal are due.
