Home Plus Restructuring Talks Hit Impasse Between Meritz and MBK Over Collateral and Funding (D-14)

According to Financial News, Home Plus debt restructuring negotiations have stalled as of July 4, with Meritz Financial and majority shareholder MBK Partners at odds over funding conditions and collateral requirements. Meritz has committed up to 100 billion won in DIP financing but insists on secured collateral and cash flow guarantees for any further support. MBK, however, prioritizes preserving enterprise value and opposes excessive asset pledging, fearing it could hinder future asset sales and investment recovery. The labor union has emerged as a third variable, opposing mass store closures and demanding employment protections as a condition for any new funding. Market analysts note that securing agreement among all three stakeholders—addressing Meritz's financial safeguards, MBK's capital responsibility, and union job security demands—poses significant challenges with only 14 days remaining before a key deadline.
