20 Advantages of CDR to the Company Approval to package by Super Majority is binding on all CDR lenders. Availability of cash flows on account of deferment of principal repayment/ funding of interest, which helps the Company in focusing on its operations and come out of the stress. Irregular portion in CC/ devolved LCs may also get converted into WCTL to be repaid over a period.

21 Advantages to the Company (contd.) Reduction in interest rate in WC & TL helps improve the profit margin for the Company. However, interest re-set (after 3 years for TL & 1 year for WC) would be there. Conversion of a part of unsustainable debt into equity/ equity related instruments to improve the debt servicing/ interest servicing capability of the Company, if acceptable to lenders.

22 Advantages to the Company (contd.) Retention/ Restoration of Standard Asset Classification by the lenders, in most cases, helps the Company by way of more positive approach from the lenders including grant of any additional funds (Working Capital and/or Term Loan), if necessary. Monitoring Institution (MI) & Monitoring Committee (MC) play an important role and therefore, Company may interact mainly with MI & MC members instead of a large no. of lenders (ranging from 10 to 30 in many cases).

23 Advantages to the Company (contd.) After admission of the case itself under CDR System, Standstill Clause & Holding on Operations are available to the Company which helps them arrest any further deterioration. There is time-bound approach under CDR. Package gets approved within 60/90 days and implementation within 120 days of the approval.

24 Advantages of CDR to the Lenders Lenders can retain/ restore Standard Asset classification, if not repeated restructuring. Atleast 25% of lenders sacrifices has to be brought by the Promoter. Additional security of pledge of Promoters shares & Personal Guarantee of Promoters. Lenders can convert part of debt into equity whereby provision requirement will reduce. Further, they can possibly enjoy the upside in equity in future.

25 Advantages to the Lenders (Contd.) Provisioning on account of sacrifice is usually lesser than it would have been required to make upon account being downgraded to Substandard/ Doubtful. Further, provision requirement in CDR case gets reduced each year whereas it increases each year in case of NPA accounts.

26 Advantages to the Lenders (Contd.) Lenders may agree for the package only if viability is established. For this purpose, they can get TEV Study carried out to satisfy themselves regarding the viability. Lenders can stipulate to bring back investments in subsidiary companies, if any. Sale of idle or non-core assets/ unprofitable units can be part of the package to reduce the debt.

27 Advantages to the Lenders (Contd.) There is better monitoring in CDR cases by way of MI & MC being there. Further, usually Concurrent Auditor/ Lenders Engineer is appointed to have a control on Company s operations/ accounts. TRA is stipulated to capture entire cash flows and also ensure better financial discipline in the Company.
