Market Chatter: Agile Group Chairman Loses More Than Half of Value in Sale of Houses

MT Newswires Live2024-11-26

Agile Group (HKG:3383) Chairman Chen Zhuolin disposed of all nine units he owned in a luxury residential project in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong for more than half the value, the South China Morning Post reported Tuesday.

The houses were valued at HK$213 million, at discounts of between 53% to 63% from six years ago, the report said.

Chen only managed to eke out HK$90 million from the sales at an aggregate discount of 58%, the SCMP said, citing agents and records from the city's Land Registry.

The sale comes as the builder faces liquidity struggles, failing to pay interest on a $483 million bond maturing in May 2025, among other debts, the report said.
