Coronavirus: Sir Philip Green's retail empire is racing to raise tens of millions of pounds to secure its immediate future

It was unclear on Wednesday night whether an imminent deal with a new lender was likely.

Arcadia has also been trying to conserve cash by withholding rent payments, and securing the agreement of its pension trustees to defer its £2m-a-month contributions to its retirement scheme. Sir Philip's businesses employ about 18,000 people, making his operations one of the UK's largest privately owned employers.

In return, Arcadia signalled its intention to close dozens of stores and reduce rents at hundreds more.
