Zee Entertainment shares fall as lenders challenge NCLT repayment plan
Zee Entertainment’s share price fell sharply on the stock market.
It dropped more than 14% at one point on Monday, 31 August.
Three lenders objected to a repayment plan approved by a tribunal.
The plan would distribute ₹6.25 crore among creditors.
It would also set aside ₹25 lakh for the insolvency process.
The lenders say they will challenge the decision.
Their appeals will be considered by another tribunal called the NCLAT.
Investors sold Zee shares as the dispute increased uncertainty around the company.
Zee Entertainment shares fell as much as 14.3% to ₹87 on the BSE on Monday, 31 August.
The stock opened at ₹100.85, compared with its previous close of ₹101.55, and later traded nearly 9% lower at ₹92.45.
Canara Bank, Union Bank of India and LIC Housing Finance said they would challenge the NCLT-approved repayment plan.
The plan allocates ₹6.25 crore to creditors and ₹25 lakh for insolvency-process costs.
The lenders’ appeals will take the dispute to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.
