Hong Kong-listed NewOcean Energy Holdings Limited on Friday (10 December) released an update regarding the winding up petition filed against the company by the Hongkong Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC).
The directors of the company said there was continued support from a number of lenders to appoint joint provisional liquidators on a soft touch basis for debt restructuring to repay loan principal and interest.

NewOcean Energy noted it will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate and will also keep its shareholders and potential investors informed of any material development in relation to the winding up petition.
