China Sky Chemical Fibre

Nylon fibre-maker China Sky Chemical Fibre has received unverified information about winding-up proceedings against its wholly owned subsidiary Quanzhou Tianyu Chemical Fiber & Weaving Industry.

This information has not been verified because court searches have not been conducted with the relevant Chinese authorities, the company said in an exchange filing yesterday.

China Sky also said it was not able to obtain further information as Tianyu's legal representative "is unwilling to cooperate in obtaining and providing further details or to confirm the winding-up proceedings".

The company is in the process of engaging counsel in China to obtain further details.
