An application for the winding up of Hontop Energy (Singapore) Pte Ltd was filed by joint and several judicial managers of the company on 30 October, according to Friday (29 November) notice on the Government Gazette.

It noted the winding up application is directed to be heard before the Judge sitting in the General Division of the High Court at 10am on 21 January.

Hontop Energy was one of four Singapore-based trading companies to have collapsed in 2020, together with oil traders Hin Leong and Zenrock and coal trading firm Agritrade. Hontop, which went into receivership in February, is fully owned by Chinese private-sector firm Wanda whose group assets include the 100,000 b/d Tianhong independent refinery in Shandong province.

It was previously reported that the High Court of Singapore approved Malaysian bank CIMB’s application for Hontop Energy, the trading arm of Chinese independent refiner China Wanda Holding Group Co Ltd, to be placed under judicial management.

According to the filing at the time, CIMB is looking to recover USD 105 million that it has lent to the company and Hontop owes approximately USD 470 million to seven creditors.

Lin Yueh Hung and Oon Su Sun of RSM Corporate Advisory Pte Ltd were nominated to act as the judicial managers.

According to the Government Gazette notice, any creditor or contributory of the company desiring to support or oppose the making of an order on the winding up application may appear at the time of hearing by himself or his counsel for that purpose.

A copy of the winding up application will be furnished to any creditor or contributory of the company requiring the copy of the winding up application by the undersigned on payment of the regulated charge for the same.
