In addition to the defaults listed in the table above, Sonel and Kribi in Cameroon and Saurashtra in India have been classified as discontinued operations. As of September 30, 2013, Sonel and Kribi had debt in default of $255 million and $256 million; and net assets of $398 million and $46 million, respectively. Although currently not in default, debt of $21 million at Saurashtra has been classified as current because a covenant violation is probable within the next twelve months. Net assets at Saurashtra as of September 30, 2013 were $2 million. For further information please see Note 16 — Discontinued Operations and Held-for-Sale Businesses.
The above defaults are not payment defaults, but are instead defaults triggered by failure to comply with other covenants and/or other conditions such as (but not limited to) failure to meet information covenants, complete construction or other milestones in an allocated time, meet certain minimum or maximum financial ratios, or other requirements contained in the non-recourse debt documents of the borrower.
In addition, in the event that there is a default, bankruptcy or maturity acceleration at a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that meets the applicable definition of materiality under the corporate debt agreements of The AES Corporation, there could be a cross-default to the Company’s recourse debt. As of September 30, 2013, none of the defaults listed above individually or in the aggregate results in a cross-default under the recourse debt of the Company.
