The Srivaddhanaprabha family have overseen Leicester City's rise to Premier League, their title success in 2016 and their FA Cup victory in 2021

Leicester chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has cleared the club's outstanding £194m debt to parent company King Power International (KPI).

 

The club owed the amount in loans to KPI, which is owned by the Srivaddhanaprabha family.

 

A debt-to-equity transfer to KPI was completed to relieve the club of its outstanding debts.

 

Leicester said the move was evidence of "KPI's commitment to supporting the club's long-term sustainability".
