  • Quite pleased with outcome
  • Voluntary nature of exchange remarkable
  • Portugal, Ireland would not want painful restructuring
  • Greek debt to be cut EUR 100 bln by Monday
  • 83.5% of bondholders came into deal voluntarily
  • Inserted CACs retroactively was unfortunately; should have been done at issuance
