Reliance Future Deal
Reliance cancels Rs 24,700 cr deal with Future group after secured creditors oppose it
Mumbai: A day after secured creditors, primarily banks and financial institutions, of Future Retail rejected the Rs 24,713 crore deal with Reliance Group, billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Saturday said that the scheme of arrangement cannot be implemented.
In a regulatory filing to the BSE, RIL said that Future Group companies comprising Future Retail Limited (FRL) and other listed companies involved in the scheme have intimated the results of the voting on the scheme of arrangement by their shareholders and creditors at their respective meetings.
"As per these results, the shareholders and unsecured creditors of FRL have voted in favour of the scheme. But the secured creditors of FRL have voted against the scheme. In view thereof, the subject scheme of arrangement cannot be implemented," RIL said.
Debt-laden Future Group had in August 2020 announced the deal to sell its retail, wholesale, logistics and warehousing segments to Reliance group.
In August 2020, Future Group announced the Rs 24,713-crore deal to sell 19 companies operating in retail, wholesale, logistics and warehousing segments to Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd (RRVL).
