Design Studio Group Ltd (SGX: D11) was granted Court approval for S$62 million super priority rescue financing pursuant to Section 211E(1)(b) of the Companies Act. The rescue financing shall have priority over the preferential debts specified in Section 328(1)(a) to (g) of the Companies Act, and all other unsecured debts. Read on for Design Studio Group’s announcement on the super priority rescue financing.
David Chew, DHC Capital Partner, said “I am delighted to be involved in this ground-breaking super priority rescue financing transaction in Singapore. This transaction demonstrates the tools available for financially distressed companies to access new working capital in order to continue business operations and provides essential breathing room to engage with creditors on a restructuring proposal as opposed to having to immediately file for a value destructive insolvency proceeding. This is the third successful application for super priority rescue financing in Singapore under Section 211E of the Companies Act and follows our involvement with Asiatravel.com Holdings Ltd (SGX: 5AM) and Swee Hong Ltd (SGX: QF6) on the other two successful super priority rescue financings in Singapore.”
