凯发集团申请展延还债期限至明年4月30日

面对财务问题的本地上市水务公司凯发集团(Hyflux),获高庭批准,展延原本下月18日到期的还债期限,至明年4月30日。 高庭批准凯发把还债期限再展延四个月。其代表律师称,将在未来一、两个月,同各债权人商谈债务重组安排。 目前凯发债务高达29亿5000万元,该公司今年5月向高庭申请法院监督程序,以重组债务和业务。 高庭当时也批准集团的六个月的债务延期偿付令(moratorium),以免集团被起诉、接管产业和清盘。这项禁令原本在12月18日到期。 凯发集团创办人林爱莲,曾是新加坡企业界红人,2001年凯发成为本地首个上市的水净化公司。集团多次获奖、市值一度高达21亿元,股价超过两元。林爱莲甚至有“水皇后”美誉。 然而,她在不适当时机进军能源领域,使集团陷入财困。公司股价暴跌39巴仙。受到新加坡近年电力批发价疲软的冲击,大泉水电厂持续亏损,导致集团一个季度就亏损超过2000万元。 印尼财团收购凯发60巴仙股权 在上月,凯发宣布和印度尼西亚财团SM Investment(SMI)签署合作协议,财团注资5亿3000万元,收购凯发的60巴仙股权。 SMI由印尼三林集团和Medco集团组成。但在面对媒体提问,外国集团持股六成,是否会稀释凯发作为新加坡品牌的代表性,林爱莲曾指出“所有资产还在新加坡,她也还在,凯发仍视新加坡公司。” 而三林集团董事经理林逢生(Anthony Salim)则指出凯发在净水、电力以及废料转化能源(waste-to-energy)方面都有经验,不少业务与三林集团重叠。…
