FLFL's lenders implemented One Time Restructuring on April 30, 2021. "Subsequently, in view of the non-repayment of the principal amount due under the said OTR, the accounts of the company were classified as Non-Performing Assets on May 31, 2022," the filing said.
Last Friday, FLFL in a regulatory update informed BSE that it is facing three petitions from its creditors to initiate insolvency proceedings against it before the Mumbai bench of NCLT.
"...The matters filed under the Code against the Company before the NCLT for their claim and are being defended by the Company before the NCLT. None of them has been admitted till date," it said.
FLFL has in-house retail chains Central and Brand Factory, exclusive brand outlets and other multi-brand outlets of nearly a dozen apparel labels, including Lee Copper, Champion, aLL, Indigo Nation, Giovani, John Miller, Scullers, Converse and Urbana in its portfolio.
The company was considering asset monetisation to pare its debts.
FLFL was part of the 19 group companies operating in retail, wholesale, logistics and warehousing segments, which were supposed to be transferred to Reliance Retail as part of a Rs 24,713-crore deal announced in August 2020.
The deal was called off by the billionaire Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd. in April. After that, Future group companies had several defaults on payments.
