LLC; Tilden Park Capital Management LP; OHA (UK) LLP (part of Oak Hill Advisors); Silver Point Capital."

Financial results delayed

"This exceeds the 45 day period from the end of the relevant quarter as stipulated under Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015," it added.

Meanwhile, India Ratings and Research downgraded Yes Bank's long-term issuer rating to 'A-' from 'A', while maintaining it on rating watch negative. It the rating agency's third downgrade for the bank in a year.
