The agreement was made to continue Keppel Corporation’s support of KrisEnergy’s efforts to effect a consensual debt restructuring plan and to continue to make liquidity available to KrisEnergy to fund the group’s on-going expenses and thereby, retain the possibility of a successful financial restructuring, it says.
As at Dec 31, about US$185 million ($245.0 million) in outstanding principal is owed by KrisEnergy under the DBS RCF.
