Cerberus subsidiary Promontoria Ram 2 collected about €914,000 on loans last year in advance of a likely liquidation.

The Irish-registered company took over a group of British commercial property that its parent, vulture fund Cerberus, bought from the Co-Operative Bank in 2016.

Accounts recently filed with the Companies Office show that it collected £785,031 (€914,000) on the outstanding debts last year.

In January, the company paid off a £35.1 million loan from Citibank used to buy the assets in 2016. It also repaid one of several interest-bearing loans from its parent in February.

Promontoria Ram 2 earned a profit of £71,294 in 2021, against an £865,242 loss the previous year.
