EC World REIT extends trading suspension to resolve ‘uncertainties’

The company said its liabilities have exceeded its assets by $133.2m.

Trading of EC World REIT’s units remains suspended as the company needs more time to resolve the “uncertainties” it is facing.

In a bourse filing, the REIT cited five uncertainties that it still has to deal with.

One of these uncertainties is that the current liabilities of the EC World REIT and its subsidiary (ECW Group) have exceeded its current assets by $133.2m.

The bourse filing also mentioned that the overdue rent receivables owing to the ECW Group by Forchn Holdings Group, the sponsor of EC World REIT, and its subsidiaries, have exceeded RMB145.8m.

The board of the REIT’s manager said it is already evaluating various options for EC World REIT and will provide Unitholders with a further update as and when there are material developments.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
