Times China Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 1233) released an update on its offshore debt restructuring, confirming that the restructuring became effective on 28 November 2025. This marks the completion of key milestones outlined in the previously announced scheme of arrangement.
On the Restructuring Effective Date, Times China discharged certain liabilities associated with its existing debt by issuing new debt instruments, comprising Short Term Notes, Medium Term Notes, Long Term Notes, and two sets of Mandatory Convertible Bonds (MCBs). The Noted instruments are listed on SGX-ST, and the original notes will cease listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 8 December 2025. The company also paid the upfront cash consideration and issued consideration shares to creditors who selected or were reallocated to specific restructuring options.
The MCBs are now open for voluntary conversion into shares any time before their maturity date. The initial conversion prices are HK$6.00 per share for Mandatory Convertible Bonds I and HK$10.00 per share for Mandatory Convertible Bonds II, subject to adjustment in accordance with the respective trust deeds.
In conjunction with the restructuring, the company entered into an amendment agreement for a US$70 million shareholder loan provided by the spouse of the chairman. Under this amendment, no repayments will be made for at least 10 years after the reference date.
Additionally, all residual scheme consideration will be managed in a holding period trust arrangement until 29 May 2026. Creditors seeking to receive the restructuring consideration must submit necessary documentation by 17 April 2026 and may contact the appointed parties for further details.
