The new 200 million GBP facility has various conditions attached to it. These are discussed here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/...k-pays-high-price-for-100m-lifeline-deal.html "Thomas Cook pays high price for £100m lifeline deal" "The new facility, which is available until April 30 2013, comes with relaxed covenants that recognise Thomas Cookâs £800m seasonal swing in cashflow, but costs £10m in arrangement fees and is priced at 5pc over Libor. That ratchets up by 0.5pc a year each quarter. " "The banks will also take almost 5pc of the bombed-out company via warrants to subscribe for 42.9m new shares. They are exercisable at an average of last nightâs and next Mondayâs share price. The shares closed up1.67 at 18.02p before last nightâs deal, valuing the business at £158m.

I agree completely. However that won't stop the stock going up by a lot on Monday morning, because this news means bankruptcy is off the table for the rest of the year.
Looking at yesterday's high of day some lucky folk, who bought at last week's lows and sold at yesterday's high, have made a cool 300% gain. What a shame that I sold on Friday.:eek:
