The gains come after Country Garden reportedly managed to pay $22.5 million in bond coupon payments on Tuesday, narrowing avoiding default. The bond payments were originally due in August, but Country Garden submitted the payments hours before a 30-day grace period expired.

Shares of Country Garden have fallen 53% so far this year while Logan dropped 18%.
