HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shares of embattled Chinese developer Country Garden were set to open up more than 3% in resumed trade on Tuesday following a more than nine-month trading suspension.

On Monday, Country Garden's lawyer told a Hong Kong court the company expects to reach terms with creditors next month regarding the restructuring of $16.4 billion in offshore debt.

The stock was set to open at HK$0.500, compared with the last trading price of HK$0.485 before the suspension.
