RedBird IMI ‘reaches agreement’ on package of loans to repay debts owed by Barclay family
The Abu Dhabi-backed investment fund RedBird IMI has said it is to take control of the Telegraph and Spectator after agreeing loans to repay debts owed by their publishing group’s previous owners, the Barclay family.
The deal would entail a joint venture between the US firm RedBird Capital and International Media Investments of Abu Dhabi providing loans to the family, allowing them to pay off their debts to Lloyds Banking Group and take back the publications within weeks.
