Talks to rescue U.K. shopping mall owner Intu Properties Plc collapsed after lenders including Canada Pension Plan Investment Board balked at a request to grant a moratorium on debt payments until the end of next year.

Intu, which owns nine of the U.K’s top 20 shopping centers, fell into administration on Friday after failing to reach a deal with its creditors.
