In a further blow to Eduardo Elsztain’s attempts to retain control of the IDB Development-Discount Investment group, IDB Development’s series 14 bondholders decided last week to present the debt to them for immediate repayment.
The series 14 bondholders have a lien on 70% of the shares in Discount Investment, and the upshot of their decision is that the bond trustee will act to foreclose on the shares. This decision follows a similar decision by the unsecured series 9 bondholders earlier last week.

Discount Investment holds controlling stakes in real estate company Property Building, telecommunications carrier Cellcom, citrus grower and exporter Mehadrin, high-tech investment company Elron, and Epsilon Investment House. Without Discount Investment, Elsztain, who through his companies IRSA and Dolphin has spent some NIS 3 billion trying to stabilize the IDB Development-Discount Investment group, will be left with no substantial activity in Israel.
