Arcapita secures Islamic bankruptcy loan

  • Bahrain: Thursday, November 08 - 2012 at 11:31

Bahrain-based investment bank Arcapita has secured a court approval for a $125m bankruptcy loan from Fortress Investment Group, believed to be the first such Shari'ah-compliant loan, Reuters has reported. Approved by a US Bankruptcy Court in New York, the loan will fund Arcapita as it seeks to restructure debt after filing for bankruptcy in March. The Fortress agreement, which can be increased to the same $150m, lowers commitment fees, allows Arcapita to shop for better terms from other lenders, and limits the circumstances under which Fortress can terminate the loan.
