Fabchem China
Explosives manufacturer Fabchem China will dispose of its shares in Hebei Yinguang Chemical in a bid to offload a loss-making and debt-ridden unit.
Fabchem China acquired Hebei Yinguang Chemical in 2008 for its ammonium nitrate manufacturing, but the unit has accumulated about 30 million yuan (S$6 million) in bank loans. In the financial year 2015, Hebei Yinguang was hit by a 16.5 million yuan loss.
"The proposed disposal will allow the group to reallocate its resources to focus on its existing core businesses and any future business opportunity," Fabchem China said.
Fabchem China shares closed flat at 17.8 cents when they last traded on June 10.
