LONDON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - British travel firm Thomas Cook
on Friday said an extra 200 million pounds ($251.48
million) had been requested by stakeholders in talks to finalise
the restructuring plan to save the company.
The world's oldest holiday company, agreed the key terms of
a 900 million pound ($1.1 billion) recapitalisation plan in a
deal with Chinese shareholder Fosun last month, but on
Thursday a source said that lenders were demanding another 200
million pounds in underwritten funds.
"Discussions to agree final terms on the recapitalisation
and reorganisation of the Company are continuing between the
company and a range of stakeholders," Thomas Cook said in a
statement.
"These discussions include a recent request for a seasonal
standby facility of 200 million pounds, on top of the previously
announced 900 million pounds injection of new capital."
