Case Study

Debt Restructuring for a $120M Hospitality Group

Client Profile

A hospitality group operating 15 hotels across India and Southeast Asia facing liquidity pressure post-pandemic.

The Challenge

The group carried $120M in debt across 6 lenders with varying terms, covenants, and maturity profiles. Cash flows had recovered to 70% of pre-pandemic levels but covenant breaches were imminent on 3 facilities.

Our Approach

Nirji led a comprehensive debt restructuring: consolidated lender negotiations, designed a unified repayment waterfall, negotiated covenant relief and maturity extensions, and structured a $15M working capital facility to bridge the recovery period.

Solution Delivered

Restructured $120M in debt with 18-month maturity extensions, covenant holidays, and a blended interest rate reduction of 180bps. Avoided default and preserved the group's credit rating.
