YesAsia Secures HK$40 Million Bank Facilities Tied to Founder Control

An announcement from YesAsia Holdings Limited ( (HK:2209) ) is now available.

YesAsia Holdings’ wholly owned unit YesStyle.com has secured new banking facilities from a licensed Hong Kong bank, comprising trade finance and a revolving loan with a combined limit of up to HK$40 million. The facilities are uncommitted, subject to repayment on demand and review at any time, and backed by an unlimited corporate guarantee from the parent company covering all amounts owed.

A key condition requires CEO Lau Kwok Chu and his family to remain the single largest shareholders in both the borrower and the group, and to retain control over the group’s management and business. Any breach of this ownership and control covenant would trigger an event of default, allowing the bank to terminate the facilities and demand immediate repayment, underscoring how the group’s financing access is tied to the current leadership’s continued control.
