Homeplus on Bankruptcy Faces Opportunity for Dramatic Turnaround "Differences Narrow Over Securing 200 Billion Won in Emergency Operating Funds" Meritz Board Meeting to be Held Tomorrow... Passage of Agenda Uncertain Must Create Revised Plan If Court Accepts Appeal Procedures [Anchor] As the possibility of Homeplus, which was on the brink of bankruptcy, securing 200 billion won in emergency operating funds has increased, the likelihood of it resuming rehabilitation proceedings has grown. It is reported that major shareholder MBK Partners and Chairman Kim Byung-joo have promised a guarantee for the 200 billion won in emergency operating funds, and Meritz Financial Group, the largest creditor, is scheduled to hold a board meeting tomorrow to discuss the loan agenda. Reporter Cha Yoo-jung reports. [Reporter] Homeplus, which received a court decision to terminate its corporate rehabilitation proceedings on the 3rd. Homeplus, which was pushed to the brink after entering a temporary shutdown on the 13th due to the depletion of operating funds, has now encountered an opportunity for a dramatic turnaround. This is because it is reported that major shareholder MBK Partners and largest creditor Meritz Financial Group have narrowed their differences regarding the issue of securing a minimum of 200 billion won in emergency operating funds, which is the only way for Homeplus to enter the path of rehabilitation. Min Byeong-deok, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea's Euljiro Committee, who attended the general rally of Homeplus workers and merchants, officially formalized the resolution of the funding issue by stating that the Meritz board of directors would discuss a plan in which Meritz lends 200 billion won with MBK Partners and Chairman Kim Byung-joo providing a joint guarantee. With this dramatic agreement, Homeplus has averted immediate disaster and gained the possibility of keeping the flame of rehabilitation alive, but the road ahead is still not easy. First, it is reported that Meritz Financial Group plans to hold a board meeting this morning to finalize the loan proposal, but it remains uncertain whether the proposal will pass. If it passes the board hurdle, an immediate appeal must be filed by the upcoming 20th, and a revised rehabilitation plan must also be finalized by next month. With market competitiveness weakened by store closures and business suspensions, and the issue of restoring trust among customers and stakeholders remaining, board approval, court rulings, and the actual implementation of normalization plans appear to be key variables that will determine Homeplus's future fate.
