ANOTHER potential investor has deepened talks with Hyflux as the insolvent water-treatment firm searches for fresh funds to stave off liquidation. Read more at The Business Times.

Hyflux said it"envisions" an investment of up to S$500 million in the Group by the fund, subject to regulatory clearance, due diligence and the execution of a definitive agreement.

Back then, months before Hyflux filed for bankruptcy protection in May, Hyflux distributed 70 per cent of the shares of HyfluxShop to Hyflux shareholders via a dividend in specie, resulting in Olivia Lum, Hyflux's controlling shareholder, owning 23.8 per cent of HyfluxShop. At the same time, Hyflux also agreed to buy S$20 million HyfluxShop preference shares with a 6 per cent annual dividend.

Two weeks ago, Hyflux received a non-binding letter of intent from Emirati utilities group Utico. Discussions with Utico are based on a possible injection of S$400 million to be used for equity and working capital purposes and possible urgent interim funding, Hyflux said then.
