Woolworths lenders call in Deloitte

by AccountancyAge.com

27 Oct 2008

Burdale Financial, part of Bank of Ireland, and GMAC Commercial Finance have appointed Deloitte's corporate restructuring arm to be part of negotiations for Woolworths' business plan and budget forecast after they earlier, in January, jointly lent £385m to the group as part of a restructuring plan.

Deloitte met with KPMG, which has been appointed by Woolworths, for the first time late last week.

Further meetings are expected before the business plan and budget are settled in December.

A Woolworths spokesperson told The Independent the Deloitte's appointment was no surprise because the two lenders were always expected to be part of the discussions about next year's plans. The loan is secured against several assets, including Woolworths' stock.
