Yes Bank unlikely to pay AT1 bond coupons despite bond holders demand, sources say

·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable

Yes Bank has indicated it may not pay coupons on its additional tier-1 bonds this fiscal year, despite bondholders demanding repayment based on a recent Supreme Court decision. This decision annulled a previous write-off of these bonds, leaving unsettled dues. The bank's stance raises concerns about its financial losses potentially impacting its ability to meet these obligations, which could have significant implications for its bondholders and the overall financial market. This situation may also affect investor confidence in Yes Bank's ability to manage its debt.
