Further to the decision of the Delhi High Court, the Debenture Trustees sold the entire shares of Zee Entertainment Enterprises and recovered ₹92.35 cr (across four schemes), which is slightly higher than the value at which Essel Infraprojects’ NCDs were valued in these schemes, it said.

“We will continue our efforts to recover the outstanding investment proceeds in the best interest of the unitholders,” said Franklin Templeton.

The e-voting and unitholders’ meet continue to remain suspended till further directions from the Karnataka High Court. Active monetisation of assets of the schemes and distribution of investment proceeds to the unitholders will be possible only after successful e-voting, it said.
