FRANKFURT (Reuters) - TUI (LON:TUIT) struck a deal on Wednesday on a third bailout package as the world's largest holiday company secured help to ride out the coronavirus-linked travel slump.

TUI said it has reached an agreement with private investors, banks and the German federal government on an additional financing package worth 1.8 billion euros (1.6 billion pounds). The company received 3 billion in state loans in two tranches earlier this year.

The new rescue package includes a 500 million euros capital increase with subscription rights and a 420 million euro convertible silent participation supplied by Germany's economic support fund WSF.
