Sino-Ocean issues progress update on going-concern actions, completes HKD400 million debt discharge

Bulletin Express03-31

On 31 March 2026, Sino-Ocean Group Holding Limited reported further steps taken since 1 January 2026 to address the going-concern disclaimer of opinion raised in its FY 2024 and FY 2025 audited results.

The Group confirmed continued implementation of its onshore debt restructuring plan announced on 1 August 2025. Bondholders’ meetings held up to 26 November 2025 approved revised repayment terms for designated onshore corporate bonds and inter-bank directed debt instruments. The plan offers three settlement channels—cash repurchase, equity economic income rights, and asset-based debt settlement—rolled out sequentially. Execution details will be released by the wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Sino-Ocean Group Holding Limited.

Offshore liabilities have also been reduced. On 23 March 2026, an offshore creditor exchanged all outstanding debt for new notes and mandatory convertible bonds, enabling Sino-Ocean to derecognise approximately HKD400 million (about RMB352 million) of existing obligations.

Management is sustaining broader liquidity initiatives outlined in the 2025 Annual Results Announcement, including: • Negotiations to resolve outstanding litigation matters. • Discussions with lenders to renew or extend borrowings until cash flows from completed projects materialise. • Exploration of asset disposals and other financing sources. • Ongoing engagement with contractors and suppliers to maintain construction timetables and agree payment arrangements. • Acceleration of pre-sales, sales collections and other receivables. • Tight control of administrative costs and discretionary spending.

Sino-Ocean will continue to release updates on its going-concern status and restructuring progress in accordance with Hong Kong Listing Rules. Shareholders and investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities.
