The journalist of Sky he focused in particular on the rumors linked to a possible agreement for a new loan between Steven Zhang and the US fund Pimco.
“In my opinion, Oaktree also expected someone to intervene – said Caressa on the frequencies of the radio station in via Massena – we are entering the last month. On Sunday evening I was quite convinced of the refinancing, now less so. The problem is that the more time passes the more you’re under pressure and you have to accept particular conditions, either you close it early or it gets worse and worse.”
The situation at Inter. On May 20th, now in less than a month, the deadline for repayment of the loan granted by Oaktree to Suning will expire, which in the meantime has risen to around 380 million euros considering interest. In recent weeks, several rumors have spread about a possible refinancing with another American fund, Pimco, for around 400 million over another three years. Some sources, for example the North American TV broadcaster Bloomberghowever, have raised doubts about this scenario.
