    Press Release Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited February 08, 2019 Ratings Amount Facilities Rating1 Rating Action (Rs. crore) CARE AA+; Credit Watch with Revised from CARE AA+; Long-term Bank negative implications 125.00 Credit watch with Facilities [Double A Plus; Credit watch with developing implications negative implications] CARE A1+; Credit Watch with Revised from CARE A1+; Short-term Bank negative implications 80.00 Credit watch with Facilities [A One Plus; Credit watch with developing implications negative implications] 205.00 Total Facilities (Rs. Two hundred and five crore only) Details of facilities in Annexure-1 Detailed Rationale& Key Rating Drivers The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEEL) have been placed on credit watch with negative implications on account of the reduced financial flexibility of Essel Group as an after effect of the recent decline in the market capitalization of the listed entities belonging to the Group. As on December 31, 2018, amongst the total promoter holding of 41.62% in ZEEL; 59.37% has been pledged. The promoters have conveyed their intentions to sell/divest up to 50% of their equity stake to a strategic partner, which is expected to improve the liquidity position of the group. However, in view of the recent developments, the ability of the group to sell its desired stake in ZEEL at the valuations envisaged forms a key rating sensitivity. Also, these recent developments have resulted in a reduction in the promoter’s stake in ZEEL from 41.62% (as on December 31, 2018) to 39.08%. As reported by the company to the stock exchanges, the lenders of the Group have provided a formal consent wherein no event of default is expected to be declared till September 30, 2019 on account of sharp decline in the prices of the pledged shares.
