A Signa Prime Selection creditor committee has rejected plans to sell a portfolio of Austrian property to the Schoeller Group, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The initial decision casts doubt on a deal that insolvent Signa Prime had hoped would help address a bottleneck in its restructuring efforts. Negotiations between the firm and its lenders are ongoing.
