CARL'S JR: Goes Into Administration in Australia
------------------------------------------------
News.com.au reports that popular US burger chain Carl's Jr has
placed its Australian stores into voluntary administration,
affecting 24 stores.
Many stores across the country were closed on July 29 as KPMG
announced David Hardy, George Georges and Emily Seeckts as
administrators, news.com.au relates.
According to news.com.au, hundreds of jobs are expected to be
affected as the entire Australian franchise, which is mostly in
regional areas in NSW, Queensland and Victoria.
The CJ's Group independently owns and operates 24 restaurants,
while it is a master licensee to the remaining 25 locations, which
are owned and operated by third-party sub-licensees.
In a statement, KPMG Australia's restructuring services partner
David Hardy said the initial focus will be "stabilising" operations
of the group, news.com.au relays.
"We will be conducting an immediate sale process of the existing
store network and operations," news.com.au quotes Mr. Hardy as
saying. "We will be working with all stakeholders, including
employees, suppliers and landlords, to maximise the outcome for all
parties."
Stakeholders are expected to be contacted within days, while a
creditors meeting has been scheduled for August 7, news.com.au
discloses.
Just four stores are expected to remain open under the CJ's Group,
while 20 will immediately close, the report adds.
News.com.au says the appointment of administrators excludes the 25
restaurants independently owned and operated by third party
sub-licensees.
These restaurants will be transitioned to a direct licensed
relationship with CKE Restaurants Holdings, Inc. (CKE) and will
face minimal change.
The administration of the Australian stores will not affect
locations overseas, news.com.au notes.

assistance or anything the government needs to do," Ms. King told
ABC television.

COUNTRY GARDEN: Liquidation Hearing Moved to January Next Year
--------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that a Hong Kong court on July 29 adjourned a
hearing into a petition seeking liquidation of Country Garden until
Jan. 20, 2025, giving a breather to the embattled Chinese developer
which is trying to finalise an offshore debt revamp plan.
Ever Credit Limited, a unit of Hong Kong-listed Kingboard Holdings,
filed the liquidation petition against Country Garden in February
for non-payment of a $205 million loan.
The developer defaulted on its $11 billion worth of offshore bonds
last year.
A lawyer for Country Garden told the court on July 29 that the
developer expected to publish offshore debt restructuring term
sheets to creditors in September, and that it planned to seek
approval from the court on that arrangement early next year,
according to Reuters.
Reuters says the hearing into Country Garden's liquidation petition
comes against the backdrop of Chinese authorities stepping up
efforts to revive the property sector after it slipped into an
unprecedented debt crisis in mid-2021.
Over the last couple of years, a growing list of developers have
defaulted on their offshore debt repayment obligations.
Many are facing liquidation lawsuits filed by creditors, with the
latest being state-backed Sino-Ocean Group. A handful, including
sector giant China Evergrande Group have been ordered to be
liquidated so far, the report says.
In the hearing on July 29, Country Garden's lawyer, Jose-Antonio
Maurellet, said the company's offshore debt restructuring is a
complicated and large-scale exercise but it is making "substantial
progress" with weekly and by-weekly meetings between the company
and advisors to creditors, Reuters says.
Reuters relates that a bank lender group and a bondholder group
also supported Country Garden's application for an adjournment of
the hearing to allow the company to carry out the expected
restructuring timeline.
If Country Garden is able to present a debt restructuring proposal
to its offshore creditors and get their approval for implementing
it, the developer could then push back against the liquidation
petition.

holding company, invests, develops, and constructs real estate

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in late
February 2024, Kingboard Holdings-backed money lender Ever Credit
on Feb. 27, 2024, filed a winding-up petition against Country
Garden to the Hong Kong High Court for non-payment of a US$205
million loan.
The TCR-AP reported in late March 2024 that Country Garden has
hired Kroll to carry out a liquidation analysis. Kroll, the New
York-headquartered financial advisory firm, is expected to conduct
an independent business review of Country Garden before projecting
a recovery rate for the developer's creditors under a liquidation
scenario, according to Reuters.
The developer defaulted on US$11 billion of offshore bonds last
year and is in the process of an offshore debt restructuring.
ZHEJIANG AKCOME: Unit Declares Bankruptcy Amid Plunging Prices
--------------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Chinese solar module producer Zhejiang Akcome
New Energy Technology has filed for bankruptcy at one of its
subsidiaries, citing an inability to repay its debts, according to
a Monday filing.
Zhejiang Akcome Photoelectricity Technology's petition to enter
bankruptcy restructuring was submitted by the parent company and
was accepted by Changxing county court in eastern Zhejiang
province, Reuters relates citing filing with the Shenzhen stock
exchange.
As of April 30, Zhejiang Akcome Photoelectricity Technology's
assets totalled CNY2.513 billion ($346.4 million) and debts stood
at CNY1.562 billion, according to the filing.
The decision follows news of financial troubles at parent company
Zhejiang Akcome New Energy Technology, Reuters says.
Trading of Akcome's shares was suspended from June 19 after the
share price closed below CNY1 ($0.14) for 20 consecutive days and
on June 22 the Shenzhen stock exchange said it would terminate the
listing, according to Reuters.
On June 14, the company, which was listed in Bloomberg New Energy
Finance's list of tier one global PV manufacturers for the second
quarter of 2024, said it would suspend production of some modules
because of issues with its sales and supply chain.
Reuters adds that Akcome also cancelled its plans last minute to
field an exhibition at the largest yearly industry conference. It
said in a WeChat post on June 8 it was pulling out of the
International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy
Conference and Exhibition, which started on June 13, due to
"internal reasons".
Zhejiang Akcome New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., manufactures and
distributes solar accessories. The Company produces solar panel,
solar mounting bracket, and solar cell border. Zhejiang Akcome New
Energy Technology also provides investment consulting, solar
station detection, and electricity sales services for solar
industry.

TAHOE LIFE: Goes Into Provisional Liquidation in Bermuda
--------------------------------------------------------
OffshoreAlert reports that Hong Kong-based life insurer Tahoe Life
Insurance Company Ltd. has gone into provisional liquidation in
Bermuda, where it is domiciled, following a winding up petition by
the local regulator, the Bermuda Monetary Authority.
"By Order of the Supreme Court dated July 26, 2024, Mr Marcin
Czarnocki of Deloitte Financial Advisory Ltd., Mr Derek Lai and Mr
Forrest Kam of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and Mr Oliver Cheng of
Deloitte Advisory (Hong Kong) Limited have been appointed as the
joint provisional liquidators (JPLs) of the Company," stated the
BMA in a public notice issued last week, OffshoreAlert relays. "The
appointment of JPLs serves to protect policyholders and preserve
assets of the Company rather than to wind up the Company at this
time."
"The Company is also authorized by the Hong Kong Insurance
Authority (IA) under the Insurance Ordinance in Hong Kong to write
direct life and annuity business to customers in Hong Kong," added
the BMA. "The appointment of JPLs is further to the appointment of
Managers by the IA on 26 July 2024 to take full control of the
affairs and property of the Company. This coordinated supervisory
action with the IA is to ensure policy holder interests are
protected."
Research by OffshoreAlert at Bermuda's Registrar of Companies
showed that Tahoe Life Insurance Company Limited was incorporated
in Bermuda on November 1, 1989 and its directors are Jerry Zhang,
of Hong Kong; Virginia Wong, of Hong Kong; David Peng, of
Guangdong, China; Michael Moriarty, of Bermuda, who was only
appointed on June 26, 2024, one month before the company went into
provisional liquidation; Yong Ge, of Beijing, China, and Heping
Feng, of Beijing, China. Former directors include Garth Turner, of
Bermuda, who ceased being a director on March 29, 2023 (just 28
days after being appointed); Man Kwong Cheng, of Hong Kong, who
ceased being a director on February 28, 2023; Kong Sang Lie, of
Hong Kong, who ceased being a director on February 28, 2023;
Christopher Garrod, of Bermuda, who ceased being a director on
November 22, 2022, and Kin Nam Yu, of Hong Kong, who ceased being a
director on October 8, 2022.

AMBIKA SUGARS: ICRA Keeps D Debt Ratings in Not Cooperating
-----------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has kept the Long-Term rating for the Bank facilities of Shree
Ambika Sugars Limited in the 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category. The
rating is denoted as "[ICRA]D;ISSUER NOT COOPERATING".
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long-term 527.67 [ICRA]D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING;
Non-fund based Rating continues to remain under
Others 'Issuer Not Cooperating'
Category
Long-term- 34.63 [ICRA]D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING;
Fund based Rating Continues to remain under
Term Loan 'Issuer Not Cooperating'
Category
As part of its process and in accordance with its rating agreement
with Shree Ambika Sugars Limited, ICRA has been trying to seek
information from the entity so as to monitor its performance.
Further, ICRA has been sending repeated reminders to the entity for
payment of surveillance fee that became due. Despite multiple
requests by ICRA, the entity's management has remained
non-cooperative. In the absence of requisite information and in
line with the aforesaid policy of ICRA, the rating has been
continued to the "Issuer Not Cooperating" category. The rating is
based on the best available information.
Shree Ambika Sugars Limited, is a part of the Thiru Arooran Group,
and was incorporated in 1988. Its sugar plants are based in
Cuddalore and Thanjavur districts of Tamil Nadu. It has 11,500 TCD

APRAJITA MICROFINANCE: ICRA Cuts Rating on INR3.0cr LT Loan to D
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has downgraded the ratings on certain bank facilities of
Aprajita Microfinance Association (AMA), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term- 3.00 [ICRA]D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING;
Unallocated Rating downgraded from [ICRA]B
(Stable) and continues to remain
in the 'Issuer Not Cooperating'
category
Rationale
The rating downgrade reflects the irregularities related to the
servicing of one of the loan account(s) of AMA.
Impact of material event
On July 18, 2024, ICRA was informed of the irregularities related
to the servicing of one of the loan accounts of AMA. ICRA observed
insufficient balance in the cash credit account, which was used for
the repayment of the scheduled instalments of the above-mentioned
term loan, indicating stressed liquidity. This resulted in delays
in servicing in April 2024 and delayed payments were observed in
May 2024 and June 2024 as well. Consequently, the rating has been
downgraded to [ICRA]D, in line with ICRA's Policy on Default
Recognition. It is to be noted that ICRA has been receiving monthly
No Default Statements from the company, stating timely and regular
servicing of debt obligations in April 2024, May 2024 and June
2024.
The rating was moved to the 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category
earlier in July 2024 and the rating is based on limited information
on the company's performance since the time it was last rated on
March 19, 2024. Lenders, investors and other market participants
are thus advised to exercise appropriate caution while using this
rating as it may not adequately reflect AMA's credit risk profile
despite the downgrade.
As a part of its process and in accordance with its rating
agreement, ICRA has been trying to seek information from AMA to
monitor its performance. Further, ICRA has been sending repeated
reminders to the company for the payment of the surveillance fee
that became due. Despite multiple requests by ICRA, AMA's
management has remained non-cooperative. In the absence of
requisite cooperation and in line with ICRA's aforesaid policy, the
rating remains in the 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category. The rating
is based on best available information.
Aprajita Microfinance Association is an unlisted private company
incorporated in November 2015. It was started by Mr. Nand Kishor
Paswan along with his brother – Mr. Vivek Kumar. At present,
Aprajita operates from Bihar's Aurangabad district and is involved

Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Ltd. had, vide its press release dated May 15, 2023,

information through e-mails, phone calls and a letter/email dated
March 30, 2024, April 9, 2024, April 19, 2024.

arrive at a fair rating.

QOO10 GROUP: Aiming to Raise US$50MM as Liquidity Woes Persist
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yonhap News Agency reports that the Singapore-based e-commerce
platform Qoo10 Group, which owns the local online marketplaces TMON
and WeMakePrice, is said to be seeking to raise $50 million to
address delays in payments by the two platforms, according to
sources familiar with the matter on July 28.
Yonhap says TMON and WeMakePrice have failed to pay money earned by
sellers in May, after Qoo10 Group was reportedly tipped into a
tight cash situation over aggressive merger deals. Sellers on the
online marketplaces have expressed frustration over the payment
delays.
According to the report, sources said Qoo10 told Korean financial
authorities that it would raise $50 million in August to address
concerns over the payment delays.
However, a senior official at the Korean financial authorities said
the proposed measure was insufficient.
On July 25, the financial and antitrust regulators launched joint
on-site inspections into TMON and WeMakePrice over their delays in
payments to sellers.
Their payment delays sparked concerns about industrywide impacts
and potential damage to customers, and most of their 60,000 sellers
were small merchants and the self-employed, who are relatively
vulnerable to such risks, Yonhap relates.
Lee Se-hoon, vice governor of the Financial Supervisory Service,
told reporters that the value of payment delays by TMON and
WeMakePrice was between KRW160 billion and KRW170 billion ($115
million-$122 million), the report relays.
Qoo10 retails e-commerce products. The Company offers personal
care, sports apparel, consumer electronics, home furnishing, food,
toys, and other consumer products. Qoo10 serves customers
worldwide. Qoo10 owns South Korean e-commerce firms TMON and
WeMakePrice.
