Daewoo Shipbuilding bondholders accept bailout plan
Seoul

The votes were held hours after Daewoo's biggest bondholder, the National Pension Service (NPS), said it had agreed to the proposal. That move made it likely that other bondholders would follow suit, creditor bank officials said, allowing the shipbuilder to meet conditions of a US$2.6 billion bank bailout.
