There is no contractual obligation for Wanda Group to buy back its unit's shares from fellow cash-strapped developer Sunac Group (HKG:1918) as no bet-on agreement was included in the contract, Yicai Global reported Monday, citing a source familiar with the matter.
Sunac is seeking 9.5 billion yuan in compensation from share repurchase fees from Wanda Group after an alleged breach of a 2018 investment deal.
China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission is hearing the case on the botched deal, with a decision expected soon, according to the report.
