Troubled The Finance company PLC (TFC) yesterday (25) noted that the company has been approached by 03 interested parties to consider an investment in the finance firm, if a Banking License could be obtained.

“Since publication of the "Notice of Cancellation", TFC was approached by 03 interested parties to consider an investment on the basis Banking License could be obtained with the sufficient investment," the firm said in a stock exchange filling.

The Monetary Board of the Central Bank on October 23, 2019 issued a Notice of Cancellation of licence on TFC due to the severe liquidity crisis faced by the company.

However, The Board of Directors of TFC submitted its objection on 14th November 2019 for the "Notice of Cancellation" issued on TFC under the provision made in section 37 of FBA, which the company deem to consider as unessential, as it was facilitating the potential investors locally and overseas and some discussions with potential investors were ongoing.

Hence, the Board of Directors of TFC has requested CBSL to re-consider the notice of 30 days and avoid any License Cancellation and request 60 days of extension from the date of issuance of ,,Notice of Cancellation", while assisting the finance company to finalize the investors soon after the existed political situation settles.

“After the expiry of 60 days from the date of the Notice of Cancellation and after considering the objections, the Monetary Board may withdraw such notice of cancel the licence issued to TFC,” the Central Bank said.

Sri Lanka regulator disputes reports of investor interest in The Finance Co. banking license
Wednesday November 27, 2019 17:17:04
ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka’s Central Bank has called out reports that The Finance Company was in talks with three investors keen to acquire its banking license by injecting funds to revive the firm, as ‘not true and correct’.

The Finance Co. (TFC) earlier this week said in a stock exchange filing that it had asked the Central Bank for more time to negotiate with investors after the regulator issued the cancellation notice.

“Since publication of the ‘Notice of Cancellation’, TFC was approached by three interested parties to consider an investment on the basis the banking license could be obtained with sufficient investment,” the troubled sub-prime lender said in a statement earlier this week that was published in the media

However, the Central Bank on Wednesday questioned the credibility of the statement and denied any knowledge of the three investment proposals.

“Even though aforementioned news articles mentioned that TFC informed the Colombo Stock Exchange that it has been approached by three interested parties to consider investing in the company, no such proposals have been submitted to the CBSL, so far,” the Department of Supervision of Non-Bank Financial Institutions said.

“Therefore, CBSL wishes to clarify that the information published in the articles in newspapers and news websites regarding any potential investments is not true and correct.”

The central bank last month said it had decided to cancel the license of The Finance Co from 23rd October 2019, after failing to find an investor to revive the troubled finance company, with the aim of safeguarding the interests of depositors and other creditors.

“TFC is continuing to facilitate potential investors locally and overseas. Some discussions with potential investors are continuing,” TFC said in its statement to the stock exchange.

TFC had 27.7 billion rupees in deposits at the end of June 2019. Its loan book was 3.7 billion rupees. The firm had 10.8 billion rupees in assets to its liabilities of 30.9 billion rupees.

A crisis in the Ceylinco Group in 2008 hit TFC with a severe liquidity shortage.

The Finance Company PLC (TFC), is a Finance Company, carried its finance business activities under the Finance Business Act No. 42 of 2011 (FBA) and was severely impacted by the failure of a number of financial institutions within the Ceylinco Group in 2008. Since then, the financial status of the company deteriorated gradually, leading to a severe liquidity crisis.
All efforts made to revive the company through different strategies have failed and the continuity of current status will be further detrimental to the interest of the depositors and other stake holders of the company. Further, the depositors of TFC were unable to withdraw their money over the last fifteen months. 
As previously informed by the Press Release dated 23rd October 2019, The Monetary Board of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (MB) issued a Notice of Cancellation (NOC) of the finance business licence issued to TFC, in terms of the powers vested under the FBA, with effect from 23rd October 2019, in order to safeguard the interests of the depositors and other stakeholders of TFC.
TFC had failed to tender a valid objection to the MB against such NOC within the stipulated time in terms of the provisions available in FBA. Accordingly, licence of TFC can be cancelled after 21st December 2019 onwards in terms of the FBA. However, upon the request of the company, the MB allowed TFC to call for a fresh round of Expression of Interests to Department of Supervision of Non-Bank Financial Institutions 22nd May 2020
identify a credible investor with valid proof funds and a viable business restructuring plan to revive the operations of the company but TFC failed to identify such investor up to date.
Therefore, the MB decided to cancel the finance business licence issued to TFC, in terms of the FBA with effect from 22nd May 2020. Accordingly, TFC is not permitted to engage in Finance Business under the FBA with effect from such date.
Further, the Director of the Department of Supervision of Non- Bank Financial Institutions of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has decided to cancel the Certificate of Registration of TFC as a Registered Finance Leasing Establishment under the provisions of the Finance Leasing Act No. 56 of 2000.
The Sri Lanka Deposit Insurance and Liquidity Support Scheme of the CBSL will take necessary actions to pay compensation to the insured depositors under the applicable laws and regulations which would facilitate to settle 93% of the company’s total depositors in full (135,100 depositors out of 145,172 total depositors), while each of the remaining 7% depositors (10,072 depositors) will also receive Rs.600,000/-as a part of their deposit amount and the remaining balance may be able to recover in the process of liquidation subject to the priority of claims. Further information regarding the payment of compensation will be communicated in due course.
