JC Flowers Asset Reconstruction Company in Advanced Talks to Merge with Assets Care
JC Flowers Asset Reconstruction Company (JCF ARC) is in advanced talks to merge with Assets Care Enterprise (ACRE) through a stock-swap deal, which would create one of India's largest bad-loan aggregators. The merger would see JCF ARC winding down its India operations and surrendering its Reserve Bank of India license. A formal proposal is expected soon. JCF ARC gained prominence after acquiring a 48,000-crore stressed loan portfolio from Yes Bank in 2022 and has since resolved nearly 38,000 crore in non-performing assets.
