Delaware Supreme Court Announced Byju’s At Default For $1.2 Billion Loan

Delaware’s supreme court decision created a new challenge for Byju’s. The company took a loan for $1.2 Billion. It was marked as default in March 2023. Glas Trust LLC mentioned that they did not receive any news from the company’s side for the re-payment. Thus, Glas Trust decided to take control over Byju’s Alpha Inc. It is a subsidiary company of Byju’s that is kept as collateral in case of default recovery.

The Delaware Supreme Court also announced the news in favour of the Glas Trust. According to the lenders, the company willingly and knowingly signed the contract for the credit. It is the reason that Delaware’s supreme court also decided to favour Glas Trust. They also thanked the court for their decision. According to the court, the lenders have the right to take control over Byju’s Alpha. The US subsidiary of Byju’s kept as the collateral for the loan will be used for the recovery of the loan.

It has been a big challenge for the company to overcome the situation. Byju also appealed to the court to dismiss the lawsuit as it has a pending case in New York court as well. However, the court denies the same. Delaware Supreme Court’s decision will also legally allow the lender’s representative Glas Trust to acquire control over the collateral company. Timothy Pohl will be the one handling the case. The situation clearly shows Byju’s default which it accepted itself. However, the lenders also highlight the time when Byju tried to show itself not at default.

Byju’s lenders also mentioned that Byjus’ tried to not re-pay the lenders their money trying to put different narratives in front. In conclusion, the Delaware supreme court declares Byju at default for not repaying the loan amount of $1.2 billion to Glas Trust (on the lender’s behalf). They believe that Byju was knowingly and willingly putting the credit agreement in default. Stay tuned for more information.
