ArcelorMittal-led CoC to decide on resolution plan for KSS Petron
Live MintThe ArcelorMittal Group, which has bought out the loans of KSS Petron Pvt Ltd, now holds all the cards in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. The KSS Petron resolution professional told the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal on Wednesday that the UK-based steel major now owns 99.76% voting rights in the company. “After paying the financial lenders of KSS Petron, ArcelorMittal now owns 99.76% voting rights in KSS Petron,” advocate Jitendra Kumar, appearing for the KSS Petron resolution professional, informed the bench. “The development came after the Supreme Court order of 4 October when the apex court had asked the company to pay dues for Uttam Galva Steel and KSS Petron to be eligible to bid for Essar Steel,” said Kumar. Earlier, on 1 January, NCLT had granted KSS Petron exclusion of 38 days from the time lost in the corporate insolvency resolution process from 31 December 2018.
