Global's $1.7bn debt restructuring plan rejected by creditors

  • Kuwait: Wednesday, November 14 - 2012 at 05:10

Kuwait's Global Investment House (Global) has said three of its creditors had failed to back a $1.7bn debt restructuring plan, and that it was looking at legal options to secure a deal, Reuters has reported. Under the debt-for-equity style plan, the unanimous backing of Global's lenders is required to secure an agreement. According to the plan, Global would offer KD122.2m ($433m) of new shares to creditors. "The company obtained the approval for the plan from more than 95% of the creditors. There was the exception of three creditors," the firm said. Global, which counts the governments of Kuwait and Dubai as major shareholders, would take all measures at its disposal to secure a deal, including legal proceedings under British law, it added.
