SMI takes legal action against Hyflux; Maybank moves on Tuaspring

(Apr 20): SM Investments (SMI) has terminated its rescue agreement with Hyflux, it announced on Friday. Hyflux, on its part, had already on April 4 terminated the same agreement with SMI.

SMI claims it has thus far abided by the agreement. “To clarify, SMI does not accept the purported termination of the Restructuring Agreement by Hyflux on 4 April 2019. This is because the termination was not in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Agreement," said SMI.

Under the agreement reached last October, SMI, led by Indonesian tycoon Anthoni Salim, was to have invested $530 million into the debt-laden water treatment company.
