SGX Catalist-listed Ley Choon Group Q0X has completed the final bullet repayment for all outstanding amounts due to its lenders in relation to its debt restructuring agreement (DRA), fulfilling the agreement ahead of schedule.
The service provider for underground utility infrastructure construction and road works entered into the DRA in 2016, which was subsequently amended in 2021.
Ley Choon says its fulfilment of the DRA gives the company better flexibility over its cash usage with the absence of debt servicing costs and improved cash flow.
In addition, the company will also have greater freedom over its working capital management as well as decisions on capital expenditure going forward.
CEO Toh Choo Huat says: “Through disciplined and prudent capital management over the past years, we have managed to fulfil the DRA ahead of schedule. This is a huge boost for the group as it gives us full autonomy over our capital management strategy including our working capital needs and capital budgeting.”
“Given our project pipeline and the opportunities available in the market, this is extremely timely for us. We can now focus on executing our growth plans and generating higher shareholder value,” he adds.
