Majority of lenders who were part of $1.2 billion Term Loan B (TLB) secured by BYJU’S have filed an insolvency petition with NCLT Bangalore against the company, according to people aware of the development.

While the filing has not been made public yet, BYJU’S has termed the claims as “premature and baseless’.

The case has been filed through Glas Trust Company, which represents over 80 per cent of lenders that were part of the TLB loan – which is granted by institutional lenders instead of banks.

On the petition, a BYJU’S spokesperson said, “As we have stated before, the validity of lenders’ actions, including acceleration of the term loan, is pending and under challenge in several proceedings, including before the New York Supreme Court. Hence, any proceedings by lenders before NCLT are premature and baseless.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
