The latest update is out from EC World Real Estate Investment Trust ( (SG:BWCU) ).

EC World REIT has confirmed that court judgments issued by the Hangzhou Intermediate Court in favour of Fuyang Futoufa, upholding the validity and enforceability of guarantees granted by its subsidiaries, have become final and binding. The manager had intended to appeal but was unable to proceed because lenders did not approve the release of funds to pay the required court fees, and no alternative funding sources were identified.

The REIT has already recognised a contingent liability of RMB 286 million related to unauthorised mortgages and guarantees in its financial statements, and no additional adjustments are being made for now. Management notes that the eventual financial impact could change depending on the sponsor’s restructuring and the enforcement actions Fuyang Futoufa may take, and it has cautioned unitholders and investors to exercise care when dealing in EC World REIT units.
