The latest announcement is out from AF Global Limited ( (SG:L38) ).

AF Global Limited has updated shareholders on the ongoing liquidation of its 55%-owned joint venture, Xuzhou Yinjian LumChang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd, which holds the Gulou Square mixed-use development in Xuzhou, China. A fifth auction of key hotel, retail and carpark assets representing the bulk of the project’s value, offered at a reserve price set at a 60% discount to their fair value, again closed without any bids, underscoring weak demand and continued challenges in realizing value from the investment. The liquidator will now meet with AF Global and the joint venture partner to consider further steps, including holding additional auctions at even steeper discounts of up to 70%, pursuing alternative disposal routes for the underlying real estate, or taking other measures needed to complete the liquidation, developments that could lead to further write-downs and prolonged uncertainty for the Group’s China exposure.
