This makes him junior to honestbee's sole secured creditor, Formation Group, which has all-monies charges for US$4 million in debt.
In addition, honestbee's current and former employees who are still owed salaries and CPF contributions will likely be paid ahead of creditors in a liquidation scenario. The startup's total debt pile stands at about US$230 million. In August last year, Mr Lim filed a lawsuit against former honestbee chief executive Joel Sng seeking to recover the sum, but BT understands that the matter has since been resolved.
