MANILA -- Philippine tycoon Dennis Uy's Udenna holding company said on Monday that a key subsidiary has settled its obligations after lenders had warned of a damaging potential debt default.

Fears of a default had sparked a share sell-off in listed units of Udenna on Monday morning, following news over the weekend that a consortium of banks had delivered "notice of declaration of default" to the company.
