Lenders have agreed to waive this covenant breach until mid-November.The approach "does not change anything. Our main focus is on reaching a solution with lenders. Those discussions continue to make good progress and we are confident that an agreement would put the business on a firm financial footing," said Charlie Armitstead, an external spokesman for Endemol.
