The MTN program and senior unsecured bonds are supported by a deed of equity interest purchase undertaking and a keepwell deed between CHINA VANKE, Vanke Real Estate and the bond trustee.

Moody's also maintained the negative outlooks of the above entities.

The downgrade and negative outlook reflect further deterioration in CHINA VANKE's liquidity over the next 6-12 months, which is driven by persistently sluggish sales performance, Daniel Zhou, Assistant Vice President and Analyst at Moody's, said. In view of its sizable near-term debt maturities, Moody's expected refinancing risks to continue to heighten.
