Zee Entertainment, IndusInd Bank Settle Dispute Over Insolvency Proceedings

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd and IndusInd Bank Ltd told an Indian tribunal today that they have settled a dispute over a loan default, paving the way for the media company's merger with a local unit of Sony.

IndusInd started bankruptcy proceedings against Zee Entertainment late last month over a default of 830.80 million rupees ($10.10 million).

Zee Entertainment challenged the move in the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLT), which put the insolvency proceedings on hold.

IndusInd Bank, on Wednesday, told the NCLT that it would also withdraw its objection to Zee Entertainment's merger with a local unit of Japan's Sony.

Zee Entertainment's shares jumped as much as 4.4% to a nearly one-week high.
