That deal involved about ten banks and other stakeholders, including the Fosun Tourism Group of China, Thomas Cook’s largest shareholder. The company’s airline and tour business would be separated, with Fosun taking control of the latter and a minority stake in the former. Thomas Cook’s debtholders and banks would in turn have the majority of the airline and a smaller stake in the tour business. That debt-for-equity swap involves Fosun contributing £450 million, the banks £300 million and the debtholders £150 million. A source close to funding talks said: “Thomas Cook hangs in the balance. People are still working in good faith to find a solution.”
Fosun, which has largely remained publicly silent in recent months, issued a statement yesterday. “Our proposed contribution of £450 million has not changed throughout this process,” it said. “As a minority investor in Thomas Cook, and with no board representation, we are still working tirelessly with a large number of other stakeholders and interested parties to find agreement on the company’s proposed recapitalisation plan.”
Although Thomas Cook’s fate could be determined this weekend, it is facing other key deadlines this month. Stakeholders are due to vote on August’s agreement on Friday and the Civil Aviation Authority, which administers the Atol scheme covering travel companies, has to decide whether to renew Thomas Cook’s licence at the end of this month for another 12 months.
Thomas Cook’s share price was down another 22.7 per cent to 3½p yesterday. The CAA has confirmed that the Atol scheme has funds of more than £170 million available to bail out holidaymakers, with an additional insurance cover totalling a further £400 million.
Heading: Holiday giant on the brink of collapse
Sub-heading: Ministers set to reject Thomas Cook bailout.

Thomas Cook is on the brink of collapse with the government poised to reject a last-ditch appeal for a bailout. Up to 150,000 Britons could be stranded abroad.
The world’s oldest travel company turned to ministers yesterday to request £200 million in emergency funding after lenders threatened to pull out of a rescue.
The Times understands, however, that the government is unlikely to intervene amid concern about the longer-term viability of the company. The tour operator’s board is expected to meet tomorrow, but a source close to the talks said it was “more likely than not” that it would enter administration.
Thomas Cook employs more than 21,000 people, including 9,000 in Britain, where it has 544 high-street travel agents. Its collapse would leave 150,000 Britons stranded and require the country’s biggest peacetime repatriation.
An emergency cabinet meeting would be convened in the event of a collapse to put the repatriation plan, codenamed Operation Matterhorn, into action. Frantic queries to Thomas Cook were being made last night by customers, some of whom have spent tens of thousands of pounds on holidays and weddings, over whether booked trips would go ahead and concerns that those overseas could be stranded. The cost of bringing home passengers has been estimated at £600 million.
John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, told The Times: “It’s critical the government intervenes urgently to protect British holidaymakers, who through no fault of their own are facing this nightmare.”
The Thomas Cook group, founded in 1841 by a cabinetmaker and former Baptist preacher, runs more than 100 aircraft and 199 own-brand hotels. The surprise breakdown of a £900 million rescue agreed last month has thrown into doubt the plans of hundreds of thousands of customers.
About 600,000 people, including 150,000 Britons and about 300,000 Germans, are abroad with the operator. Thomas Cook has been brought to the brink by £1.7 billion of debt, uncertainty over Brexit affecting bookings, the heatwave last summer and competition in popular destinations.
The problems come after lenders, including Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds, required Thomas Cook to secure an extra £200 million to cover any shortfall over the winter season, on top of the £900 million agreement.
