SYMC has missed repayments of the following loans aggregating an amount of nearly 60 billion won (₹408 crore) which were due and payable on December 14, 2020:

JP Morgan: Principal amount of around 20 billion won (₹136 crore) and interest of 0.02 billion won ( ₹0.13 crore)

BoA: Principal amount of about 30 billion won (₹204 crore) and interest of 0.03 billion won (₹0.19 crore)

“Whilst the company has made a commitment to cover the above-mentioned loans given by the banks, its final liability will be limited to the extent not recovered from SYMC,” said M&M.

On the payment of the dues from the company to the banks, M&M will be subrogated to all the rights of the banks against SYMC and the company will step into the shoes of the banks as creditor, entitled to all the rights the banks had against SYMC with respect to these loans, it added.

M&M has been searching for a partner for the ailing SYMC.
