They were reported to be involved with Hicks, surely theyd want their money back knowing the amount of risk involved in this transaction, or do they have to wait till the refinancing date looms before they can wield the axe on Hicks... or can they do that at all?

They can certainly put pressure on him to sell but i dont think they can force anything until refinancing is due. However if Hicks is struggling to find any investment he'd be stupid to let it get that far because he would lose any bargaining power he had. If it gets to the stage where refinancing is due and he can't find anyone to lend him more money he'd have no option but to sell meaning DIC could buy for a lower price.
But right now he owes a lot of money at a time when banks are getting very nervous, the people that have lent him the money know a buyer is there waiting so they can see their return there on the horizon, so im sure if they think theres any chance he won't be able to pay them back or if they think hes no longer a safe person to loan money too they'll put a lot of pressure on him to sell up.
