Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Babcock & Brown Ltd.’s lenders demanded the company halt dividends to shareholders and interest payments on subordinated debt as conditions for granting a A$200 million ($128 million) loan, the Australian Financial Review said.
The loan would keep Babcock & Brown operating until the end of the year and one member of a 25-strong banking group has yet to agree to the new credit, the newspaper reported, citing unidentified people close to the company.
Babcock & Brown made an urgent request to its banks a week ago for extra funds, the Review said.
A small group of lenders, including Australia’s four biggest banks, agreed to provide the additional funds, which would take priority over existing facilities, the Review said, without citing anyone.
