Telewest Shareholders Give Go Ahead To Financial Restructuring

Telewest Shareholders Give Go Ahead To Financial Restructuring

Telewest shareholders gave the go ahead to one of the company’s many financial restructuring steps, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on Friday 21 May.

The groups shareholders passed a resolution to transfer most of the company assets in to Delaware, a subsidiary of Telewest Global.

Telewest chairman, Cob Stenham said: “We thank our shareholders for today’s vote. It is a key step toward the completion of Telewest’s financial restructuring.”

After reaching debts of £5.3 billion, the group took steps to restructure its finance by borrowing £2 billion. It has since converted £3.5 billion of its debt in to shares/bonds and holders of these now have a 97% stake in the group (see Telewest Positive On Restructuring Plan).
