Yes, that is the date some old bonds get exchanged for new bonds as part of a work around and the remaining 10% or 15% of outstanding bonds due, actually default. It’s the credit default swaps, used as insurance, that will kick in on that 10% or 15% defaulting that is going to cause some pain to banks that wrote them (mainly banks here in the US). Have to wait and see how bad a hit is taken.
