Lloyds Banking Group has taken control of the Telegraph Media Group (TMG) in an unprecedented move by a bank in modern times.
The Daily and Sunday Telegraph newspapers and the Spectator magazine will be put up for sale after their parent company was forced into receivership by the Lloyds Banking Group over £1bn of debts owed by the Barclay family, who own the titles that have dominated rightwing media discourse in the UK. The bank has put B.UK, a Bermudian-based holding company that ultimately controls the Telegraph Media Group, into receivership, Lloyds confirmed on Wednesday. In a personal blow to the family, Aidan Barclay and Howard Barclay, the sons of the late Sir David Barclay, have been removed as directors of TMG and The Spectator.
The owner of the Telegraph Media Group has been threatened with receivership by lender Lloyds Banking Group over a longstanding debt owed by the parent company controlled by the Barclay family. AlixPartners, the restructuring group, has been lined up to act as receivers of Press Acquisitions, which controls the Telegraph newspapers, if Lloyds decides to take action against the operating companies for not paying off a decades-old debt, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. It is not clear how much money is owed by the group to Lloyds, although one person close to the talks described it as in the “hundreds of millions of pounds”.
