Hyflux applies to extend debt moratorium for two more months

Applications are expected to be heard on 30 September.

Embattled water firm Hyflux and three of its subsidiaries have filed another application to court seeking a two-month extension of its debt moratorium, according to an SGX filing.

Applications are expected to be heard on Court on 30 September. The move comes over a month after its last debt moratorium extension in 1 August.

The company’s potential white knight, UAE-based utilities firm Utico earlier announced that the two parties have inked a restructuring agreement that will allow it to hold an 88% stake in Hyflux. However, the water treatment firm clarified that they have not signed a definitive deal agreement.

Hyflux is seeking consent to restructure around $2.8b in liabilities although it has admitted in its disclosure that senior lenders recovery is likely to be limited and subordinated lenders may not even recover a cent. Its Tuaspring desalination plant was earlier seized by the national water agency.

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.
