Hengyang Petrochemical Logistics Ltd. ( (SG:5PD) ) has provided an announcement.
Hengyang Petrochemical Logistics is grappling with severe operational and capital-market disruption after the company, its key China joint venture Jiangyin Foreversun, and its CEO Gu Wenlong were placed on the U.S. OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list, prompting a trading halt and voluntary suspension of its shares on SGX Catalist. Efforts to engage U.S. counsel to seek removal from the sanctions list have stalled due to regulatory constraints, while the company’s access to Singapore banking services has been curtailed, limiting its ability to fund a potential delisting or other corporate actions.
The sanctions fallout has also hit professional support and operations, with auditor BDO LLP insisting on resigning under global compliance rules and more than 10 alternative audit firms largely declining the engagement, leaving the audit for FY2025 and the company’s broader reporting timetable in doubt. International customers have reduced business with the China Holdco Group, particularly its port operations, prompting management to intensify its domestic China client focus and consider disposing of its loss-making port business, even as the company applies to SGX RegCo for a four‑month extension to issue its FY2025 annual and sustainability reports and to hold its AGM.
