China Evergrande Group, a property developer, recently announced that it has been served an enforcement notice by

the court regarding arbitration proceedings involving one of its subsidiaries and an executive director. The notice

mandates the group to fulfil various financial obligations, including a payment of approximately 770 million yuan

($111.40 million) as compensation to the claimant.

The arbitration proceedings centre around agreements made between the claimant, Guangzhou Kailong Real Estate (a

unit of China Evergrande Group), and the executive director Hui Ka Yan. These agreements were executed between

December 2016 and November 2020. In these deals, the claimant provided a capital injection of 5 billion yuan into

Hengda Real Estate, another subsidiary of China Evergrande, in exchange for a 1.6% ownership stake. However, the

agreements ultimately collapsed due to the non-completion of certain obligations.

As per the enforcement notice, Guangzhou Kailong and Hui Ka Yan are obligated to make additional payments related

to the outstanding dividends owed by Hengda Real Estate for the year 2020, which amounts to approximately 204

million yuan. Additionally, they are required to provide liquidated damages of about 51.53 million yuan to the

claimant.

Furthermore, the notice mandates Hui Ka Yan and the company to repurchase the claimant’s stakes in Hengda Real

Estate for a total sum of 5 billion yuan.
