Private Equity Investor Lion Capital is thought to be looking for new funding to save struggling lingerie chain La Senza.
Lion Capital bought the retail group from Dragon’s Den participant Theo Paphitis in 2004 and currently owns 40 per cent of the £100m debt they raised to buy the chain. However, The Times has reported that Lion Capital has broken its loan agreement with GSO Capital and owes the creditor millions of pounds.
GSO has reportedly agreed to wait for La Senza’s Christmas trading update this week before making a decision as to whether or not to push the retailer into administration. Paphitis has been rumoured to be considering buying back the chain for £1 – equal to his original bid in 1998. He left the board in May but still owns a 10 per cent share in the company.
