Euro Disney SCA has refused to comment on reports that it is planning to raise 250m euros ((£167m) through a new share issue as part of its financial restructuring.

Media reports have suggested the group is close to agreeing a deal with shareholders and lenders ahead of the 31 May deadline set by creditors to reorganise its 2.3bn euro (£1.5bn) debt.

They also claimed that US-based Walt Disney Corporation, Euro Disney’s main shareholder, will guarantee 100m euros (£67m) of the capital increase.

Euro Disney, however, has released a statement saying its policy is “not to comment on unofficial information regarding the status or content of its financial restructuring negotiations.”
