International Business Settlement Holdings Limited ( (HK:0147) ) has shared an announcement.

International Business Settlement Holdings Limited has entered into a deed of settlement with the liquidators of its subsidiary International Business Settlement Limited to resolve a long-running potential claim linked to the subsidiary’s compulsory liquidation. The claim, which originally exceeded HK$30 million including interest and legal costs, stemmed from a petition citing a principal outstanding amount of about US$2.98 million.

Under the settlement terms, the liquidators will seek High Court approval within two years, after which the company will pay HK$14 million, a figure substantially below the original claim amount. The company said the move is aimed at saving time and costs, fully settling all related claims once completed, and noted that the payment will not have a material impact on the group’s financial position, although it urged shareholders and potential investors to remain cautious when trading its securities.
