Kuwait’s Gulfinvest gets initial nod for debt plan

Gulfinvest International, dropped from the list of investment firms in Kuwait, on Sunday said its creditors may own a stake in the company as part of initial approval for its debt restructuring plan.

“Creditors will keep the guarantees they have and transfer the (debt) not covered by guarantees into a contribution in the company’s capital,” the company said in a statement on the Kuwait bourse website. This would mean the company has settled all its debts, it added.

Under the plan, current shareholders will have the priority to own a stake in the new capital, the company said, adding that a new strategic partner will be allowed in after consultation with the firm’s restructuring adviser.
