Embattled Hyflux assets may go for less than $200m in liquidation: report

This is only a fraction of the amount creditors are claiming.

Hyflux Ltd. may only get less than $200m after it liquidates its assets, a report from Bloomberg said.

Six bids involving individual assets are already up after Hyflux’s judicial manager Borrelli Walsh Ltd. filed a court application earlier this month to wind up the water-treatment and power company.

The report, stating an unnamed source, said that there’s no specific timeline to sell these assets, but the judicial manager aims to do so as soon as possible.

The small proceeds from the assets would confirm creditors' fears that they may get little back from the company which is about $2.8b in debt. Investors in the once high-flying firm include about 34,000 individuals who put money in products including perpetual notes and preference shares.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
