SINGAPORE: Troubled water treatment firm Hyflux has been given a deadline extension for the third time to find a buyer and ink a binding agreement for the divestment of its Tuaspring plant.
In an afternoon filing to the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Tuesday (Dec 4), Hyflux said it now has one more month with the new deadline being up to and including Dec 28, provided that the terms of agreement with secured lender Maybank continue to apply in the meantime.
