Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group Limited ( (HK:1725) ) has provided an update.

China Strategic Technology Group Limited has issued a supplemental announcement clarifying financing arrangements related to its subsidiary Aspace Satellite Technology Limited, following the lapse of a planned acquisition of a 49% stake in Aspace. The board disclosed that Aspace pursued alternative debt financing after limited interest from traditional banks and financial institutions in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Aspace ultimately entered into a HK$42.1 million short-term loan agreement with Hong Kong-based Prime Bridge Capital Ltd., an independent third party that is not a licensed money lender. As security, Aspace granted an equipment charge over satellite testing and assembly equipment with a book value of about HK$105 million, which must be moved to the lender’s premises for custody and can be enforced in the event of default, highlighting the significant collateral risk attached to this financing structure.
