Hindustan Motors Ltd. said the private sector lender ICICI Bank has picked up the company's 5.15 percent stake, as part of settlement with the cash strapped maker of Ambassador car.
Hindustan Motors said ICICI Bank has acquired 1,07,43,600 equity shares of the company, totaling to 5.15 percent stake, on September 29.
"ICICI Bank has received 1,07,43,600 equity shares of Hindustan Motors in lieu of settlement of Right of Recompense (RoR) payable to the lenders on the exit of HML from the purview of corporate debt restructuring (CDR)," the company said.
On September 29, the board of Hindustan Motors had alloted securities on a preferential basis to the lenders, banks and financial institutions, in accordance with approval of corporate debt restructuring process.
Earlier this year, the cash-strapped company's management had declared suspension of work at its Uttarpara plant in the West Bengal. The Uttarpara plant, which manufactures Ambassador car, had been facing severe cash crunch, and orders for manufacturing cars could not be executed. Since then the company has suspended the production of the Ambassador car.
At the BSE, Hindustan Motors shares are currently trading at Rs.9.70, up 3.30 from the previous close.
