honestbee files for court-supervised restructuring process

The firm said that the move will help them increase existing efficiencies and bring down cost structure.

honestbee has made an application to the High Court of the Republic of Singapore to commence a court-supervised restructuring process, an announcement revealed.

The move aims to propose a scheme of arrangement to restructure its liabilities and to seek a moratorium against enforcement actions and legal proceedings.

The firm stated in the release that the court-supervised restructuring process is in the best interest of honestbee’s stakeholders, allowing honestbee to focus on reevaluating the business without interference; streamline operations, increase existing efficiencies and bring down the cost structure.

It has assigned Oon & Bazul LLP as its legal advisor and DHC Capital Pte Ltd as its independent financial advisor.

The delivery aggregator announced last May that they are halting its food delivery operations and temporarily suspending its laundry services. They have already suspended businesses in Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
