Cox and Kings India delays financial results
Cash strapped Travel company Cox and Kings India has been unable to declare its quarterly financial results, and has been granted a 180-day delay to finalise a resolution plan.
The company has been in dire financial straits for some time and has defaulted on multiple loan repayments in the past few months.
In a stock exchange filing it intends to extend the submission for Q1 results.
"The revised date of the meeting to consider the said quarterly financial results shall be communicated at the earliest date possible."
It says more than two-thirds of lenders, which include the Satate Bank of India, have signed the InterCreditor Agreement for a 180 day period so that the resolution plan can be completed.
IATA suspended the company’s licence to sell tickets and Cox & Kings independent director Subhash Chandra Bhargava resigned from the board last week.
Its financial troubles are tied to the collapse of Superbreak and LateRooms Ltd in the UK which are undergoing insolvency proceedings.
Cox & Kings India had a 49% shareholding in Malvern Group Ltd.
Meanwhile, Cox & Kings, The Americas assured its customers it is not affected by the India based company’s financial plight as it operates as an independent business.
"This has resulted in some confusion as to the distinct businesses under the brand and how they are differentiated, which is important, given the operational independence of each one."
