He also said that last week, Damas signed a cascade deal by which the three brothers who ran the company previously, Tawhid, Tawfiq and Tamjid would repay USD167 million to the company and USD326 million to a group of lenders. Through the agreement, a number of secured creditors would be paid through the sale of the Abdullah brothers assets first, and then would come Damas as an unsecured lender.
