MME AUTOPAY 2025-1: Fitch Assigns 'Bsf' Final Rating on Cl. F Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned final ratings to MME Autopay ABS 2025-1
Trust's pass-through floating-rate notes. The notes are backed by a
pool of first-ranking Australian automotive loan receivables
originated by MoneyMe Financial Group Pty Ltd. The notes were
issued by Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited as trustee for the
trust.

Transaction Summary
An updated final pool has been provided since the assignment of the
expected rating. The final pool totalled AUD440 million at the 31
October 2025 cut-off date, and consisted of 12,306 receivables with
weighted-average (WA) seasoning of eight months, WA remaining
maturity of 67 months and an average contract balance of
AUD35,755.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
Stress Commensurate with Ratings: Fitch derived default base-case
expectations for borrowers with Equifax scores of 600-799 and 800+.
Its default assumptions (and AAAsf default multiples) are 7.40%
(5.00x) and 2.75% (5.50x), respectively, for each sub-pool, with a
WA of 4.32% (5.21x). The recovery base case is 30.0%, with a
'AAAsf' recovery haircut of 55.0%, for both sub-pools.
Portfolio performance is supported by Australia's continued
economic growth and tight labour market. GDP growth was 1.8% for
the year to June 2025 and unemployment was 4.3% in October 2025.
Fitch forecasts GDP growth of 1.8% in 2025, rising to 2.1% in 2026,
with unemployment at 4.2% and 4.1%, respectively.
Excess Spread Limited by Commission Note Repayment: The transaction
includes a commission note to fund the purchase-price component
related to the unamortised commission paid to introducers for the
origination of the receivables. The note will not be
collateralised, and will amortise in line with an amortisation
schedule. Its repayment limits the availability of excess spread to
cover losses, as it ranks senior in the interest waterfall, above
the class B to F notes.
Structural Risks Addressed: Counterparty risk is mitigated by
documented structural mechanisms that ensure remedial action takes
place should the ratings of the transaction account bank or
liquidity facility provider fall below a certain level. The class A
to F notes will receive principal repayments pro rata upon
satisfaction of the step-down conditions. The percentage of credit
enhancement provided by the G notes will increase as the A to F
notes amortise.
Fitch's cash flow analysis incorporates the transaction's
structural features and tests the robustness of each note by
stressing default and recovery rates, prepayments, interest-rate
movements and default timing.
Low Operational and Servicing Risk: All receivables were originated
by MoneyMe, which demonstrated adequate capability as originator,
underwriter and servicer. Servicer disruption risk is mitigated by
standby servicing arrangements. The nominated standby servicer is
Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited. Fitch undertook an operational
review and found that the operations of the originator and servicer
were comparable with those of other auto lenders.
No Residual Value Risk: There is no residual value exposure in this
transaction. However, 14.5% of the portfolio by loan balance has
balloon amounts payable at maturity.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
Transaction performance may be affected by changes in market
conditions and the economic environment. Weakening asset
performance is strongly correlated with increasing levels of
delinquencies and defaults that could reduce credit enhancement
available to the notes.
Downgrade Sensitivities
Unanticipated increases in the frequency of defaults and decreases
in recoveries on defaulted receivables could produce loss levels
higher than Fitch's base case, and are likely to result in a
decline in credit enhancement and remaining loss-coverage levels
available to the notes. Decreased credit enhancement may make
certain note ratings susceptible to negative rating action,
depending on the extent of the coverage decline. Hence, Fitch
conducts sensitivity analysis by stressing a transaction's initial
base-case assumptions; these include increasing WA defaults and
decreasing the WA recovery rate.

Economic conditions, loan performance and credit losses that are
better than Fitch's baseline scenario or sufficient build-up of
credit enhancement that would fully compensate for credit losses
and cash flow stresses commensurate with higher rating scenarios,
all else being equal.

USE OF THIRD PARTY DUE DILIGENCE PURSUANT TO SEC RULE 17G -10
Form ABS Due Diligence-15E was not provided to, or reviewed by,
Fitch in relation to this rating action.
DATA ADEQUACY
As part of its ongoing monitoring, Fitch reviewed a small, targeted
sample of MoneyMe's origination files and found the file
information to be adequately consistent with the originator's
policies and practices and the other information provided to the
agency about the asset portfolio. Prior to the transaction closing,
Fitch sought to receive a third-party assessment of the asset
portfolio information, but none was made available.
Overall, Fitch's assessment of the information relied upon for the
agency's rating analysis, according to its applicable rating
methodologies, indicates that it is adequately reliable.
ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.
PACIFIC NATIONAL: Fitch Affirms BB Rating on Jr. Subordinated Debt
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Australia-based Pacific National
Holdings Pty Ltd's (Pacific National) Long-Term Issuer Default
Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-' with a Negative Outlook. Fitch has also
affirmed the senior unsecured rating of its subsidiary Pacific
National Finance Pty Ltd at 'BBB-' and the rating on its
subordinated debt at 'BB'. The notes issued by Pacific National
Finance Pty Ltd are guaranteed by various group entities, including
Pacific National.
The affirmation reflects Fitch's expectation that Pacific National
will continue to make significant progress in restoring its credit
metrics in the year ending 30 June 2026 (FY26) to levels adequate
for its rating. The company generated AUD145 million from the sale
of non-core assets in FY25, reducing pressure on the balance sheet,
despite a soft volume recovery in its core haulage markets.
Fitch believes the company's identified deleveraging sources—cash
inflows from asset divestments, cost reduction programmes and
volume recovery—are adequate to support short-term deleveraging.
The Negative Outlook reflects its view that the company continues
to face risks that could delay deleveraging.
Key Rating Drivers
Deleveraging Initiatives: Implementation of business improvement
measures saved AUD67 million in FY25 and is guided to reduce costs
by another AUD63 million-73 million in FY26. This will be driven by
better train design and slot utilisation to increase labour and
fuel efficiency, which form a material part of its operating costs.
Price indexation is also likely to result in margin gains.
Its forecast incorporates AUD65 million in savings and volume
recovery that will improve the EBITDA margin to 25.4% in FY26 and
27.4% by FY29 (FY24: 24.6%). Fitch forecast EBITDA net leverage to
fall to 4.4x in FY26 and 4.3x starting FY27. However, risks in
achieving the aim of the initiatives and a potentially slower
demand recovery in the Australian intermodal market are the main
risks to the deleveraging.
Asset Sale for Debt Repayment: Fitch believes that non-organic
sources of deleveraging have become more important to the rating
given a slow recovery in volumes over last two years. The company
sold its St. Marys terminal for AUD145 million in FY25, which
supported cashflow. It is also reviewing its non-core assets with
the aim of releasing surplus capital and reducing debt to restore
its credit metrics.
Strong Market Position: Pacific National is the largest intermodal
rail freight operator in Australia with a strong market share of
about 60% on the east-to-west containerised freight route. This is
one of the company's most profitable freight routes, and Fitch
expects its market share on this route to remain strong despite new
entrants, like Aurizon. Pacific National's market position is
supported by its strategically located rail terminals, which are
either owned or under long-term lease agreements.
Intermodal Recovery: Intermodal volumes are improving from that in
FY25 largely on improved steel volumes. Fitch expects the
intermodal freight market to continue to grow over the longer term,
supported by customers' greater focus on carbon efficiency. Pacific
National will benefit from the government's inland road project,
which will lower freight prices on the Melbourne-Brisbane route,
allowing it to be competitive with road freight, although this
impact will deliver stronger growth from FY28.
Stable Coal Business: Fitch believes the coal business will be
stable over the medium term, supported by two new large contracts
with Glencore and Whitehaven and the take-or-pay features of the
contracts, which pass on volume risk to customers, inflation-linked
price increases, along with a weighted-average maturity of
contracts of five years. Fitch expects thermal coal volumes to fall
over the short term, but metallurgical coal volumes are likely to
be stable due to the lack of alternatives for producing steel at
scale. The low-cost position of Australia's mines and exports to
Asia will support stable coal volumes.
Dividend Suspension: Pacific National' has suspended shareholder
distribution since FY22 to strengthen the balance sheet following
challenging periods in the Australian rail freight industry. Fitch
expects the company to continue to defer distributions until its
credit metrics are again in line with its investment-grade rating.
The company has previously suspended shareholder distributions when
required, for example during the Covid-19 pandemic and when weather
events have reduced earnings.
Flexible Growth Capex: The company's capex is largely for the
essential maintenance of rolling stock and new rolling stock
purchases and growth in the form of infrastructure development.
Fitch believes Pacific National can reduce or defer uncommitted
growth capex if its operational performance is weaker than it
expects. This was demonstrated in FY25 when the company revised
down its capex by AUD80 million compared with its budget.
Growing Intermodal Market: Fitch expects the intermodal freight
market to continue to grow over the medium and long term, supported
by customers' greater focus on carbon efficiency and favourable
government policy. The government's Inland Rail project will lower
rail freight prices on the Melbourne-Brisbane route, allowing
intermodal freight to compete with road freight and increase the
share of rail freight. Pacific National will benefit from the
completion of this project, which has been delayed until at least
2028, as it owns terminals along the route.
Peer Analysis
Pacific National is a leading provider of rail freight haulage
services in Australia, with a leading position in intermodal
freight and second largest in coal and bulk haulage. Its strong
market position enhanced by long-term customer relationships and
limited competition, restricted by industry structure and high
capital intensity. This is similar to its peers Union Pacific
Corporation (UPC, A-/Rating Watch Positive) and Qube Holdings
Limited (Qube, BBB/Stable).
Pacific National operates a large above-rail network across
Australia, with some concentration in New South Wales and
Queensland. This is somewhat weaker compared to Qube, which Fitch
believes has superior end-market and product diversification.
Qube's stronger competitive position is also enhanced by its
exposure to nationally significant infrastructure and broader
integration of services.
UPC is significantly larger than Pacific National. It is the
second-largest North American railroad by revenue and volume
operating in a duopolistic rail market. Its credit profile benefits
from lower leverage through the cycle. In contrast, Pacific
National's financial profile has been under pressure over the last
three years due to operational disruptions related to extreme
weather events. Pacific National's EBITDA net leverage exceeded 5x
leading to the Negative Outlook on its rating.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade:
- Inability to achieve improved operational performance or asset
disposal, so that EBITDA net leverage remains above 4.5x on a
sustained basis;
- Negative developments in its long-term outlook for thermal coal;
- Material loss of take-or-pay contracts and market share in the
intermodal or freight businesses.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade:
The Outlook could be revised to Stable if cost-saving targets lead
to improved financial performance, or if debt is reduced through
capital management initiatives, such that EBITDA net leverage falls
to below 4.5x on a sustained basis.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Pacific National had cash on hand of AUD201 million and access to
AUD900 million of undrawn revolving credit facilities at FYE25,
which is sufficient to cover its AUD350 million bond maturing in
May 2027.
Issuer Profile
Pacific National is one of the largest providers of above-rail
freight haulage services in Australia. It hauls a range of bulk
goods for domestic and export consumption, including containerised
freight, coal, grain and construction and infrastructure materials
such as steel.

PEPPER PRIME 2025-1: S&P Assigns B+(sf) Rating on Class F Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its ratings to eight of the 10 classes
of prime residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) issued by
Permanent Custodians Ltd. as trustee for Pepper Prime 2025-1 Trust.
Pepper Prime 2025-1 Trust is a securitization of prime residential
mortgage loans originated by Pepper Homeloans Pty Ltd., a
subsidiary of Pepper Money Ltd. (Pepper).
The ratings reflect the following factors.
S&P said, "We have assessed the credit risk of the underlying
collateral portfolio, and we believe the credit support is
sufficient to withstand the stresses we apply. The credit support
for the rated notes comprises note subordination and excess spread.
Our assessment of credit risk considers the underwriting standards
and centralized approval process of the seller, Pepper."
The rated notes can meet timely payment of interest and ultimate
repayment of principal under the rating stresses. Key rating
factors are the level of subordination provided, the provision of a
liquidity facility, the principal draw function, and the provision
of an extraordinary expense reserve. S&P's analysis is on the basis
that the rated notes are fully redeemed via the principal waterfall
mechanism under the transaction documents by their legal final
maturity date, and it assumes the notes are not called at or beyond
the call-option date.
S&P said, "We have assessed the counterparty exposure to National
Australia Bank Ltd. as liquidity facility provider and Commonwealth
Bank of Australia as bank account provider. The transaction
documents for the liquidity facility and bank account include
downgrade remedy language consistent with our counterparty
criteria.
"We have also factored into our ratings the legal structure of the
trust, which is established as a special-purpose entity and meets
our criteria for insolvency remoteness."

STAR ENTERTAINMENT: Names Mathieson Jr. as New Chairman
-------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Star Entertainment has elected Bruce Mathieson
Jr. as chairman, cementing the billionaire Mathieson family's grip
on the embattled casino firm after the family and U.S. gaming group
Bally’s converted their rescue loans into equity.
Chairwoman Anne Ward has resigned as a director of the company,
Star said in a statement on Dec. 1, Reuters relates.
Sydney-based Star, Australia's second-largest casino operator, had
been scrambling to stave off bankruptcy as years of regulatory
scrutiny left it cash-strapped when Bally's and the Mathieson
family tabled a AUD300 million (US$196.32 million)rescue package.
According to Reuters, the appointment came alongside a number of
other board changes which saw Bally's chair Soo Kim and president
George Papanier appointed Star board members as nominees of
Bally's. The U.S. company now controls about 38% of Star
Entertainment while the Mathieson family has a 23% interest.
Mathieson Jr. is the scion of former director at Endeavour Group,
which operates the Dan Murphy's liquor store chain in Australia.

The casino operator posted a statutory net loss after tax of
AUD471.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2025.
As reported in the the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in
late November 2025, Queensland and New South Wales gaming
authorities have given the green light to a US-led rescue package
for the embattled Star Entertainment.
Earlier this year, Star agreed to a AUD300 million lifeline from US
gambling giant Bally's, as well as Investment Holdings Pty Ltd,
which is controlled by pub baron Bruce Mathieson and his family.
The move was approved by shareholders in June, ABC News said.
Combined the two companies will own more than half of the embattled
casino operator.

BRAC BANK: S&P Affirms 'B+/B' ICRs After Review of Banking Sector
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B+' long-term and 'B' short-term
issuer credit rating on BRAC Bank PLC. The outlook on the long-term
rating remains stable.
Structural reforms are progressing in Bangladesh's banking sector,
but significant transformation will be lengthy. Asset quality
remains a risk, with a likely high stressed loans ratio to persist
over the next two years.
While external funding risks have eased thanks to improved dollar
liquidity, domestic liquidity remains selectively tight, especially
for Islamic banks, necessitating central bank intervention.
On Nov. 26, 2025, S&P Global Ratings revised its assessment of
economic imbalance in the sector to high risk from intermediate
risk, changing the economic risk score to '9' from '8', and revised
the industry risk trend to stable from negative. S&P Global Ratings
maintained its Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment (BICRA) for
Bangladesh at group '9' and the bank anchor, its starting point to
rate banks in the country, at 'b+'.
BRAC Bank will maintain its financial profile amid tough operating
conditions. S&P estimates its risk-adjusted capital (RAC) ratio
will be in the range of 4%-5% over the next two years. This was
3.3% at the end of December 2024, down from 3.7% in 2023.
The country is navigating a period of heightened economic and
political volatility, which has weighed on S&P's assessment of
credit conditions in Bangladesh. BRAC Bank's improved
profitability, high earnings retention, and calibrated loan growth
should support the RAC ratio over the next two years.
S&P said, "BRAC Bank's financial profile should be stable, in our
view. The bank has a record of prudent management that will help it
navigate this period of volatility. We expect the bank's
nonperforming loan ratio to stay at 3.1%-3.5% over the next 12-18
months, significantly lower than the average for Bangladesh's
banking sector. The bank's balanced loan book and proactive risk
management should keep asset quality healthy.
"The rating action follows our revision of the economic risk score
for Bangladesh's banking system to '9' from '8'. Our industry risk
score remains '9'. We view the trends for both as stable. The BICRA
group remains unchanged at '9'."
Bangladesh's banking sector faces elevated asset-quality stress
amid economic and political volatility. Weak consumption and
investment, coupled with structural reforms under the IMF program,
have exposed deep-rooted fragilities in Bangladesh's banking
system, particularly the scale of stressed assets. This indicates
economic imbalances are high and unwinding.
Tighter loan classification and renewal criteria should keep the
ratio of stressed assets (nonperforming and restructured loans)
above 40% of systemwide loans over the next two years. State-owned
and Islamic banks accounted for a major portion of the stressed
assets.
"We expect the banking sector's credit loss ratio to stay high at
2.0%-2.5% of total loans. This reflects persistent asset quality
challenges and insufficient provisioning buffers. While a new
restructuring scheme may ease provisioning requirements from 2026,
banks are required to maintain general provisions in 2025, limiting
earnings relief in the near term. We expect the credit loss ratio
to trend down to about 2.25% in 2026 and 2.0% in 2027, while still
being higher than the five-year long-term average of about 1.0%.
"We expect the sector's profitability to remain subdued over the
next one to two years. We project a return on assets of about 0.10%
in 2025, 0.20% in 2026, and about 0.4% in 2027, compared with 0.43%
in 2024, as elevated credit costs persist.
"Sustained reform momentum, especially after elections in 2026,
will be critical for addressing weak supervision and governance in
the banking sector, in our view. Banking sector capitalization is
critically low, with a capital adequacy ratio (CAR) of about 3.1%
on average for the banking sector as of end-December 2024, far
below the regulatory minimum of 10%. A successful merger of five
troubled Islamic banks to create Sammilito Islami Bank could help
restore some confidence in the banking system.
"Stronger remittances and steady export receipts support the
banking system's U.S. dollar liquidity. The sector's funding
situation shows early signs of stabilization, barring some troubled
entities. This is because of likely tepid loan growth, reflecting
weaker economic activity and healthy deposit growth amid elevated
interest rates. That said, we note that stronger private sector
banks with better governance structures are increasingly benefiting
from a flight to quality."
Support from the Bangladesh central bank remains critical for some
of the banks facing liquidity challenges. This has mainly taken the
form of open-market operations, along with special liquidity
facilities and credit guarantee schemes.
S&P said, "Our BICRA for Bangladesh is group '9', near the bottom
of our 1-10 scale, with 10 being the weakest. This reflects the
very high economic and industry risks to which the Bangladesh
banking sector is exposed.
"Bangladesh's economic risk trend is stable, in our view. Economic
growth should be supported by labor markets and exports. However,
political uncertainty may limit policy predictability. Credit
growth is likely to remain subdued due to high interest rates and
inflation, while elevated nonperforming loans will keep credit
costs above historical levels. A stable post-election environment
could improve sentiment and support long-term reforms.
"We changed the industry risk trend to stable from negative.
Systemwide funding risks have eased somewhat, supported by
improvements in the country's external position and better access
to U.S. dollar liquidity. While central bank support remains
important for banks facing liquidity pressures, overall funding
conditions have improved because loan growth has been slower than
deposit growth.
"Industry risk in Bangladesh's banking sector could improve if the
new government maintains a strong commitment to reforms following
the 2026 election, in our assessment. Progress in strengthening the
institutional framework will be key, although we expect any
improvement to be gradual."
Conversely, industry risk could rise if Bangladesh's external
position deteriorates, leading to a sustained decline in foreign
exchange reserves. This could trigger foreign currency liquidity
shortages and increase stress within the banking system.
The stable outlook on BRAC Bank reflects S&P's view that the bank
should be able to steadily navigate challenging operating
conditions in Bangladesh and maintain its financial profile over
the next 12-18 months.
Though unlikely over the next 12-18 months, S&P may lower the
ratings if:
-- BRAC Bank's asset quality deteriorates sharply, due, for
example, to strategic missteps or broader macroeconomic
vulnerabilities.
-- BRAC Bank's RAC ratio declines and stays below 3% on a
sustained basis. This could be due to more aggressive growth or
higher credit costs, leading to weaker profitability than S&P
anticipates.
-- An upgrade of BRAC Bank looks unlikely over the next 12-18
months. However, this could happen if there is a significant
improvement in the bank's creditworthiness and we raise our
sovereign rating on Bangladesh.
DUTCH-BANGLA BANK: S&P Affirms & Then Withdraws 'B/B' ICRs
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed and then withdrew its 'B' long-term and
'B' short-term issuer credit ratings on Dutch-Bangla Bank PLC at
the bank's request. The outlook on the long-term rating was stable
at the time of the withdrawal.
[] Moody's Ratings Affirms Ratings on 3 Bangladeshi Banks
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has affirmed the B2/NP long-term and short-term
local currency and foreign currency deposit and issuer ratings of
BRAC Bank PLC. (BRAC Bank), City Bank PLC. (CBP) and Eastern Bank
PLC. (EBP).
Moody's have also affirmed the three banks' b2 Baseline Credit
Assessments (BCA).
At the same time, Moody's have maintained the outlooks on the LT
deposit and issuer ratings of all three banks at negative.
A List of Affected Credit Ratings is available at
https://urlcurt.com/u?l=561NXe
RATINGS RATIONALE
BRAC Bank
The affirmation of BRAC Bank's B2 long-term deposit and issuer
ratings and b2 BCA reflects its better-than-peer-average
capitalization and asset quality amid a weak operating environment.
Nonetheless, rapid growth in unsecured retail lending and high
concentration in twenty largest corporate exposures could increase
asset risk. The ratings also reflect the bank's good deposit
franchise and stable liquidity. Moody's expects BRAC Bank's funding
and liquidity will continue to benefit from flight to quality
because of the turbulence in the banking sector.
CBP
The affirmation of CBP's B2 long-term deposit and issuer ratings
and b2 BCA reflects its improving funding and profitability, as
well as stable liquidity, which balance its weak asset quality and
moderate capital. Moody's expects CBP's funding and liquidity will
continue to benefit from flight to quality because of the
turbulence in the banking sector.
EBP
The affirmation of EBP's B2 long-term deposit and issuer ratings
and b2 BCA reflect its stable capital and profitability. Its
higher-quality corporates loan will limit asset-quality
deterioration, as indicated by its NPL ratio, which has
historically been lower than industry average. The bank's exposures
to the power sector have been restructured for a long-term special
government bond, which indicates additional asset risks.
Nevertheless, the bank's loan loss reserves will provide some
buffers against potential losses. The ratings also reflect the
bank's moderate reliance on less-stable funding and modest deposit
franchise, as well as adequate liquidity.
NEGATIVE OUTLOOK ON THE LT DEPOSIT AND ISSUER RATINGS
BRAC Bank, CBP, EBP
The negative outlook on the long-term deposit and issuer ratings is
in line with the negative outlook on Bangladesh's sovereign rating.
The negative outlook also reflects Moody's expectations of
heightened credit risk due to weak operating environment.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATINGS UP
BRAC Bank, CBP, EBP
An upgrade of the bank's long-term deposit and issuer ratings and
BCA is unlikely because they are already at the same level as the
sovereign rating. Moody's could change the outlook on the ratings
to stable if the sovereign rating outlook is changed to stable
while the banks' credit fundamentals remain stable, particularly
their asset quality and capital.
WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATINGS DOWN
BRAC Bank
Moody's could downgrade the bank's ratings and BCA if the sovereign
rating is downgraded or if the bank's fundamentals worsen because
of a deterioration in its loss-absorption capacity or funding.
Specifically, a downgrade is likely if its tangible common equity
to risk-weighted assets (TCE ratio) declines to below 9% or if its
less-stable funds to tangible banking assets (LSF ratio) increases
to above 25%. The likelihood of BRAC Bank breaching the thresholds
is lower than other rated banks in Bangladesh due to its stronger
credit fundamentals.
CBP
Moody's could downgrade the bank's ratings and BCA if the sovereign
rating is downgraded or if the bank's fundamentals worsen because
of a deterioration in its loss-absorption capacity or funding.
Specifically, a downgrade is likely due to larger-than-expected
increase in asset risks or if its TCE ratio declines to below 9%,
or if its LSF ratio increases to above 25%.
EBP
Moody's could downgrade the bank's ratings and BCA if the sovereign
rating is downgraded or if the bank's fundamentals worsen because
of a deterioration in its loss-absorption capacity and funding.
Specifically, a downgrade is likely if its TCE ratio declines to
below 9% or if its deposit franchise weakens, resulting in the LSF
ratio exceeding 25%.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Banks published
in November 2025.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores
or scorecard outputs under the primary methodology(ies), if any,
was not material to the ratings addressed in this announcement.
BRAC Bank PLC. is headquartered in Dhaka and reported total
consolidated assets of BDT1,255 billion as of September 2025.
City Bank PLC. is headquartered in Dhaka and reported total
consolidated assets of BDT849 billion as of September 2025.
Eastern Bank PLC. is headquartered in Dhaka and reported total
consolidated assets of BDT716 billion as of September 2025.

AIXIN LIFE: Reports $340,461 Net Loss in 2025 Q3
------------------------------------------------
AiXin Life International, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $340,461 and $546,186 for the three months ended
September 30, 2025 and 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company
incurred a net loss of 1,413,674 and $1,326,569, respectively.
Revenue was $301,979 in the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to $936,406 in 2024, a decrease of $634,427 or 68%.
Revenue was $1,161,739 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to $3,120,615 in 2024, a decrease of $1,958,876 or 63%.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $3,372,467 in total
assets, $9,196,866 in total liabilities, and $5,824,399 in total
stockholders' deficit.
The Company used net cash in operating activities of $1,772,076 and
$548,130 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, and has a working capital deficit of $6,765,269 as of
September 30, 2025.
These facts and conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the Company
said.
From January 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025, the Company's cash
and cash equivalents decreased from $62,310 to $19,113 mainly due
to an increase in cash outflow from operating activities.
Management believes that it has developed a liquidity plan, that,
if executed successfully, should provide sufficient liquidity to
meet the Company's obligations as they become due for a reasonable
period of time, and allow the development of its core business. The
plan includes:
* Gaining positive cash-inflow from operating activities
through continuous cost reductions and the sales of higher margin
products.
* Raising cash through loans from related parties and
potential equity offerings.
While the management believes that the measures in its liquidity
plan will be adequate to satisfy its liquidity requirements for the
12 months after the date that these financial statements are
issued, there is no assurance that the liquidity plan will be
successfully implemented.
Failure to successfully implement the liquidity plan may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of
operations and financial position, and may adversely affect its
ability to continue as a going concern.

CANON INC: Printer Factory in China's Zhongshan Shuts Down
----------------------------------------------------------
Yicai Global reports that Japanese camera maker Canon's printer
factory in Zhongshan, China's southern Guangdong province, has
ceased operations because of pressure from intensifying market
competition, according to an internal letter sent to employees.
The plant halted production on Nov. 21 because of persistent and
worsening operational difficulties due to the continuous narrowing
of the laser beam printer market in recent years and the rapid rise
of Chinese competitors, Yicai learned from an internal letter Canon
Zhongshan Office Equipment, the operator of the factory, sent to
employees.
The company has yet to comment on the matter.
Established in 2001, Canon Zhongshan is one of Canon's major laser
printer production subsidiaries. As of Sept. 30, it had about 1,400
workers, compared with 3,372 in 2022, according to corporate
information platform Qichacha. The head of a small home appliance
firm in Zhongshan told Yicai that Canon Zhongshan's factory had
more than 10,000 workers around 2010.
Canon Zhongshan is still paying suppliers in accordance with
agreements, so the short-term impact of the suspension on suppliers
is limited, a manager at one of the factory's local suppliers told
Yicai.
Yicai relates that some senior executives returned to work this
week to handle follow-up matters related to the shutdown, the
supplier noted, adding that an employee compensation plan is
expected to be announced soon.
After the rise in labor costs in Zhongshan, the factory's orders
were gradually transferred to Canon's facilities in Vietnam and
Thailand, the head of the small home appliance firm said, Yicai
relays. Canon's strategic shift to higher-margin businesses, such
as medical imaging and semiconductor equipment, is another reason
for the shutdown.
Zhongshan and neighboring Zhuhai have formed a mature supply chain
for printing equipment and consumables, the person in charge of a
plastic parts firm in Zhongshan told Yicai. Due to relatively
higher production costs, the profitability of Canon Zhongshan's
factory has gradually shrunk amid intensifying competition.
Canon and HP were once absolute leaders in China's printer market,
Zhang Yi, chief executive and chief analyst of iiMedia Research
Group, told Yicai. But in recent years, their Chinese printer
market share was severely eroded by local competitors, bringing
significant pressure to Canon.
"Moreover, with the rapid development of paperless offices,
printing demand is in a gradual downward trend," Yicai quotes Zhang
as saying. The use and popularization of third-party office
software platforms, such as WeChat Work, DingTalk, and Lark, have
allowed most enterprises to store their approval of documents
online. Paperless contracts have also become very common.
As Canon printers no longer have obvious competitive advantages in
China, it is natural for the company to shift to emerging markets,
Zhang believes, relays Yicai. The degree of paperless office in
emerging markets is relatively low, so there is still significant
demand for paper printing. Moreover, local competitors in emerging
markets have not yet emerged.
Canon Inc manufactures medical equipment, cameras, office
multifunction devices, laser and inkjet printers, and lithography
equipment.
CHINA VANKE: S&P Lowers LT ICR to 'CCC-', On Watch Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term issuer credit ratings on
China Vanke Co. Ltd. and its subsidiary, Vanke Real Estate (Hong
Kong) Co. Ltd. (Vanke HK), to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'. S&P also lowered
its long-term issue ratings on Vanke HK's senior unsecured notes to
'CCC-' from 'CCC'. At the same time, S&P placed these ratings on
CreditWatch with negative implications.
S&P said, "We expect to resolve the CreditWatch as soon as
practically possible once the terms of China Vanke's potential debt
maturity extension are available.
"We believe the risk of a distressed restructuring at China Vanke
within the next six months has heightened. This follows Shanghai
Pudong Development Bank Co. Ltd.'s (SPDB) recent announcement that
China Vanke may extend the maturity of a Chinese renminbi (RMB) 2
billion onshore bond that currently falls due on Dec. 15."
The terms of the proposed maturity extension are not yet available.
SPDB is the duration management institution of that onshore bond.
S&P said, "We view China Vanke's financial commitments as
unsustainable due to its weak liquidity. The company's debt
obligations are currently vulnerable to risks of nonpayment or
distressed restructuring, in our opinion.
"From December 2025 to May 2026, China Vanke faces a bond maturity
wall of about RMB11.4 billion. This compares with our forecast of
negative operating cash flow for the company, and its thin
accessible cash buffer as of Sept. 30, 2025.
"We expect to resolve the CreditWatch as soon as practically
possible once the terms of the company's potential debt maturity
extension of its RMB2 billion onshore bond due on Dec. 15, 2025,
are available.
"We may lower the ratings on China Vanke and Vanke HK if we view
the potential debt maturity extension as a distressed
restructuring."
SENMIAO TECHNOLOGY: Reports $723,730 Net Loss in 2026 Q2
--------------------------------------------------------
Senmiao Technology Limited filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $723,730 for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $425,453 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported a
net loss of $1 million, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for
the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $936,344 and $745,880, respectively. For the six months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total revenues
of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $4.7 million in total
assets, $4.8 million in total liabilities, and $132,073 in total
equity.
In assessing the Company's liquidity, the Company monitors and
analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure
commitments. The Company's liquidity needs are to meet its working
capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure
obligations. Debt financing from financial institutions and equity
financings have been utilized to finance the working capital
requirements of the Company.
The Company's business is capital intensive. The Company's
management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern due to:
(1) the net loss of approximately $1 million for the six
months ended September 30, 2025;
(2) accumulated deficit of approximately $45.9 million as of
September 30, 2025;
(3) the working capital deficit of approximately $2.6 million
as of September 30, 2025.
Although the Company has completed one financing transaction with
gross proceeds of $0.66 million as of the filing date of this
Report and expects to complete another with gross proceeds of $2.8
million by November 21, 2025, management still determines there is
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
This is due to the cost incurred to obtain the financing and the
planned settlement of payables, which result in the financing
obtained not being sufficient for the Company to maintain a net
working capital position for a reasonable period of time (i.e., one
year from the filing date of the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements).
Given the Company is expected to sustain operating cash outflow,
there is still substantial doubt on going concern. If the Company
is unable to generate significant revenue, the Company may be
required to curtail or cease its operations. Management will
continue to alleviate the going concern risk through the following
sources:
* Equity financing to support its working capital;
* Other available sources of financing (including debt) from
PRC banks and other financial institutions; and
* Financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the
Company's related parties.
Based on these considerations, management is of the opinion that
the Company will probably not have sufficient funds to meet its
working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become
due one year from the filing date of these unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements if the Company is unable to
obtain additional financing.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in
implementing the foregoing plans or that additional financing will
be available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at
all.
There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that
could undermine the Company's plans, such as:
(i) Changes in the demand for the Company's services,
(ii) PRC government policies,
(iii) economic conditions in China and worldwide,
(iv) competitive pricing in the automobile transaction and
related service and ride-hailing industries,
(v) changes in the Company's relationships with key business
partners,
(vi) the ability of financial institutions in China to provide
continued financial support to the Company's customers, an
(vii) the perception of PRC-based companies in the U.S. capital
markets.
The Company's inability to secure needed financing when required
could require material changes to the Company's business plans and
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern and results of operations.

EMPEROR INTERNATIONAL: Secures Bank Approval to Resume Borrowing
----------------------------------------------------------------
South China Morning Post reports that Emperor International
Holdings has secured bank approval to resume borrowing under
existing terms by nearly two years, providing the embattled Hong
Kong developer with much-needed breathing room after it failed to
meet HK$16.6 billion (US$2.13 billion) in debt obligations in
July.
Emperor would "enjoy greater financial flexibility until at least
July 31, 2027, to accommodate its future business development,
which represents an important milestone in the group's financial
management," said chairwoman Semon Luk Siu-man in the filing, the
Post relays.
The agreement with the banks "demonstrates full confidence . . .
towards the group's outlook and creditworthiness".
In July, Emperor disclosed that its losses for the financial year
ending in March widened 11 per cent to HK$2.32 billion due to a
fair value loss and losses from discontinued operations, the Post
recalls.
According to the Post, the group's total external borrowings
amounted to HK$17.23 billion, while its net gearing ratio –
measured by net debts as a percentage of total asset value – was
44.4 per cent, up from 40.2 per cent the previous year.
Since then, the group has launched presales of 117 units at MVP, a
residential project in the Mid-Levels, with 112 units sold for a
total of HK$2.23 billion, according to a filing in September.
Additionally, it sold a HK$580 million luxury home at No 15 Shouson
Hill, a joint project with C C Land Holdings and CSI Properties, in
Hong Kong's affluent Southern district. The group also disposed of
investment properties in Macau for HK$90 million.
"Thanks to a rebound in new home sales, we are seeing an easing of
debt levels of some developers," the Post quotes Martin Wong
Shiu-kei, director and head of research and consultancy of Greater
China at Knight Frank, as saying. "This improvement could last six
months to one year as the market expects more interest rate cuts."
About Emperor International
Emperor International Holdings Limited is an investment holding
company, which is principally engaged in property development and
investment business. The Company and its subsidiaries develop and
manage a wide range of property development projects, comprising
office buildings, shopping malls, residential blocks, industrial
buildings and hotels in Hong Kong, Macau and China.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in early
July 1, 2025, Emperor International disclosed it had defaulted on
HK$16.6 billion in bank borrowings. According to The Standard, the
company said in its annual results released June 27 that as of
end-March, HK$16.6 billion in bank loans were overdue or in breach
of certain terms of the loan agreements. As a result, the loans
were classified as current liabilities and lenders could demand
immediate repayment, according to the exchange filing.
HEALTH AND HAPPINESS: S&P Alters Rating Outlook to Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its rating outlook on Health and
Happiness (H&H) International Holdings Ltd. to stable from
negative. S&P affirmed its 'BB' long-term issuer credit rating and
issue ratings on the Hong Kong-based company and its notes.
The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that H&H's baby
segment will see a healthy recovery over the next 12-18 months. S&P
also expects no significant expense related to the ATO dispute in
the period.
S&P said, "We expect H&H's baby nutrition business to stay solid
over the next year, after a good recovery in the first nine months
of 2025. Beyond 2026, growth in the adult and pet segments should
neutralize a decline in the baby segment.
"Risks related to H&H's ongoing dispute with the Australia Tax
Office (ATO) should be manageable, in our view."
The solid recovery in H&H's infant milk formula (IMF) segment
should continue in 2026. The company saw a 33% growth in IMF sales
to distributors in the first nine months of 2025. Its trailing 12
months adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio has therefore dropped to 3.8x,
below our downgrade trigger of 4x. The acceleration in sales in the
third quarter of 2025 after a weak 2024 was driven by H&H resolving
supply bottlenecks in July and distributors being willing to stock
up inventory on the back of strong sell-through to consumers.
S&P said, "Into 2026, we forecast a 6% growth for the IMF segment,
compared with an about 25% increase we expect in 2025. The largest
driver will remain distributors building up inventory. We expect
distributors to normalize their inventory levels to 20-30 days by
mid-2026, from the current high-single-digit days.
"We anticipate H&H will be able to compete with other overseas
brands more effectively, capitalizing on a shift in consumer
preference in mainland China away from some domestic brands.
Potential launch of new products may also help. An additional minor
supporting point to sales growth will be a transit of existing
consumers of stage 1 and 2 IMF to stage 3 and 4."
Beyond 2026, H&H's business growth will be driven by the adult and
pet nutrition segments. The company's brand recognition and product
innovation should fuel growth in the adult nutrition segment, which
represents 64% of its EBITDA mix. The introduction of new products
such as gummies, diverse flavors, and targeted functions for
specific consumer groups should help H&H cater to the increasing
demand for health and beauty products in mainland China. This,
coupled with consistent spending on social media platforms such as
Douyin (TikTok), should help the company maintain brand visibility
and engagement.
The rising pet population in China and North America, alongside
H&H's expanded distribution channels, should create favorable
conditions for growth in the pet nutrition segment.
The adult and pet segments will likely sufficiently cover decline
in the baby nutrition segment that S&P expects amid a declining
birth rate in mainland China. As such, it expects H&H's EBITDA to
hold up and see a 1% growth in 2027.
Risks related to the dispute with the ATO should be manageable for
H&H. The company made a cash deposit amounting to about a quarter
of the A$407 million (about Chinese renminbi [RMB] 1.9 billion) tax
claim in July 2025. The claim centers around a dispute between H&H
and the ATO over the 2018 transfer of certain intellectual property
related to the company's Swisse brand from Australia to Hong Kong.
S&P said, "For now, we believe the tax claims are not a contingent
liability due to the low probability of payment. The company has
made no provision per external professional advisors. Our base case
has incorporated legal expenses and we assume the cash deposit made
is the potential minimum amount that H&H might need to pay for
settlement."
In the scenario that a settlement is unlikely in the next 12
months, H&H could enter into a full blown litigation process. The
company is determined to go through the whole trial and appeal
process, which could take about three years to complete. In the
event of an unfavorable final outcome, leverage would rise to 3.6x
in 2030.
H&H is keen to maintain the current rating level and has made
public commitments to lower leverage. The company intends to
channel cash flows to repay 4%-6% of its total reported debt of
RMB300 million-RMB500 million annually, and keep its annual
dividend payout at about RMB200 million, with a payout ratio at
30%-40% over the next three years.
H&H will need to refinance upcoming maturities due 2027. The
company will face about RMB5.6 billion maturities in 2027,
primarily from an offshore syndicated loan of about RMB4.7 billion.
With only RMB1.4 billion cash flow generation likely in 2025-2026,
H&H's available cash can only cover 30% of the 2027 maturities, and
the rest will need to be refinanced. S&P believes H&H will be able
to refinance the debt, based on its recent financing and expanded
funding channels.
S&P said, "The stable rating outlook reflects our expectation that
H&H's baby segment will post a healthy recovery over the next 12-18
months. We assume no significant expense or payment related to the
ATO dispute in the next two years. The company's adjusted
debt-to-EBITDA ratio should therefore trend down to 3.5x-3.8x in
2025 and 2026, from 4.9x in 2024.
"Beyond 2026, benefits for the baby segment will likely reduce as
distributors build up sufficient inventory. We expect growth from
the company's adult and pet segments to offset the decline in the
baby segment.
"We could downgrade H&H if the company's debt-to-EBITDA ratio
exceeds 4.0x. This could happen if we see a higher probability of a
significant payment to settle the ATO tax claim, or if H&H's
commitment to deleverage weakens.
"Beyond the next 12 months, we could also lower the rating if the
baby nutrition business contracts materially and growth in the
adult nutrition and pet businesses is unable to compensate for
this.
"Although remote in the next 12 months, we could consider an
upgrade if: (1) we believe H&H's debt-to-EBITDA ratio will fall
sustainably below 3.0x, driven by stronger businesses; and (2) we
have greater clarity on the settlement of the ATO dispute and it
does not significantly impact credit metrics."

NEW WORLD: Delays Home Sales Amid Grief Over Tai Po Fire
--------------------------------------------------------
South China Morning Post reports that Hong Kong developers have
postponed property sales scheduled for Nov. 28 as the city mourns
the deaths of dozens of residents in a devastating fire that broke
out in Tai Po.
According to the Post, Sino Group and New World Development
announced on Nov. 27 that the sale of 150 units at One Park Place
in Yau Tong and 63 units at the Austin Bohemian project in Yau Ma
Tei, respectively, would be deferred.
Both Sino Group and NWD did not disclose the reason for the
postponement or when sales would be rescheduled, the Post relates.
Meanwhile, DBS Bank (Hong Kong) said it would donate HK$10 million
(US$1.29 million) to Hong Kong Red Cross to help affected families
and postponed its annual company dinner on Nov. 39, according to an
internal memo seen by the Post. The company was collaborating with
venue AsiaWorld-Expo to distribute food for the dinner - which was
for 4,000 staff - to affected families.
"We should recognise the sombre mood of the public and we must
prioritise providing aid to impacted communities," the memo sent by
CEO Sebastian Paredes said, the Post relays.
The Post says the announcements came a day after a massive blaze
broke out in seven of eight buildings at Wang Fuk Court in the
northern New Territories.
Flames in four buildings were brought under control by early
Thursday morning [Nov. 27], authorities said. Three more were still
burning in the afternoon, but flames had retreated to the upper
floors.
At least 75 people, including a firefighter, died, while 76 people
were injured.
The Post says the eight residential buildings in Wang Fuk Court had
been undergoing renovations since July last year. They were wrapped
in mesh netting that did not meet fire safety standards, government
officials said.
The property sales were among a number of activities suspended, the
Post notes.

BYJU'S: SC Dismisses Byju Raveendran's Plea Against NCLAT Order
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that the Supreme Court on Nov. 28
dismissed a plea of Byju Raveendran, the promoter of Think and
Learn Private Limited that operates ed-Tech firm Byju, challenging
an NCLAT order which has mandated that the settlement of the BCCI's
claim be placed before the Committee of Creditors.
According to ET, a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and K V
Viswanathan dismissed the appeal against the April 17 order of the
Chennai bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal
(NCLAT) and asked senior counsel Navin Pahwa, representing
Raveendran in the matter, to proceed further.
In its April 17 order, the NCLAT said the approval of the Committee
of Creditors (CoC) was necessary for the application filed by the
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to withdraw the
insolvency proceedings against Byju's.
ET relates that the top court noted that in July, it dismissed the
appeals filed by the BCCI and Riju Raveendran, the younger brother
Byju Raveendran and co-founder of Byju, against the same NCLAT
order.
ET says Justice Pardiwala asked Pahwa what was wrong with the view
taken by the NCLAT that the apex court's judgment would apply, in
which it was stated that the CoC was constituted during the
pendency of the proceedings and had allowed the parties to seek
remedies relating to the withdrawal and settlement of claims "in
compliance with the legal framework governing the withdrawal of the
CIRP".
Pahwa contended that the earlier petition in the apex court was
filed at the pre-CoC stage and the panel was formed during the
pendency of that matter.
The bench, however, disagreed with his contentions, saying, "The
moment we accept your argument, we frustrate the entire process,"
ET relays.
Pahwa said the petitioner has paid the BCCI from his own pocket but
now, the whole complexion of the dispute has changed.
According to ET, the insolvency dispute revolves around a
settlement between Think and Learn Private Limited and the BCCI,
which had initiated the insolvency process over unpaid sponsorship
dues on July 16, 2024.
A settlement was reached on July 31, 2024, and the entire claim of
the BCCI was paid by Riju Raveendran.
On August 2, 2024, the NCLAT accepted the settlement and permitted
the withdrawal of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process
(CIRP), but this order was later stayed by the apex court on August
14, 2024, ET says.
In the present appeal, Raveendran had contended that the NCLT, on
January 29, 2025, treated the settlement as post-CoC and directed
that the withdrawal application be placed before the panel, which
was upheld by the NCLAT, adds ET.
About Byju's
Based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Byju's operates an online
learning platform intended to deliver engaging and accessible
education. The company's platform makes use of original content,
watch-and-learn videos, animations, and interactive simulations
that make learning contextual, visual, and practical, enabling
students to receive a personalized educational experience.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in July
2024, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on July 16 ordered
insolvency proceedings against the company after a complaint by the
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for not paying US$19
million in dues. Pankaj Srivastava was appointed as the interim
resolution professional.
Reuters said Byju's has suffered numerous setbacks in recent years,
including boardroom exits and a tussle with investors who accused
CEO Byju Raveendran of corporate governance lapses, job cuts and a
collapse in its valuation to less than US$3 billion. Byju's has
denied any wrongdoing.
The TCR-AP relayed that the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal
(NCLAT) on Aug. 2, 2024, accepted the settlement between Byju
Raveendran and the BCCI, thus removing Byju's parent Think and
Learn from the insolvency resolution process.
However, in October 2024, the Supreme Court quashed an earlier
NCLAT ruling approving the settlement, according to The Economic
Times.
The TCR-AP, citing Moneycontrol, reported on Jan. 26, 2024, that
foreign lenders, who collectively extended more than 85% of Byju's
US$1.2 billion term loan, have filed an insolvency petition against
the online tutor in India. Moneycontrol related that the bankruptcy
petition was filed in January 2024 in the Bengaluru bench of the
National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), the people said, requesting
anonymity.
BYJU's Alpha, Inc., a U.S. unit of Byju's, sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No.
24-10140) on Feb. 1, 2024. In the petition signed by Timothy R.
Pohl, chief executive officer, the Debtor disclosed up to $1
billion in assets and up to $10 billion in liabilities.
Alleged creditors of Epic! Creations, also a U.S. unit, sought
involuntary petition under Chapter 11 of the the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code against Epic! Creations (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 24-11161) on
June 5, 2024.

R R HOLIDAY: Ind-Ra Moves D Rating to NonCooperating
----------------------------------------------------
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has migrated all the ratings of
R R Holiday Homes Private Limited to the non-cooperating category
as per Ind Ra's policy on Issuer Non-Cooperation, following
non-submission of No Default Statement continuously for 3 months
despite continuous requests and follow-ups by the agency and also
IND-Ra's inability to validate timely debt servicing through other
sources it considers reliable. No Default Statement in the format
prescribed by SEBI is required to be shared by the issuer every
month as a confirmation that all financial obligations are being
serviced on time. Investors and other users are advised to take
appropriate caution while using these ratings. The rating will now
appear as 'IND D (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING)' on the agency's website.
The instrument-wise rating action is:
-- INR620 mil. Bank loan facilities migrated to non-cooperating
category with IND D (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING) rating.
Note: ISSUER NOT COOPERATING: Issuer did not co-operate, based on
best available information. Ind-Ra is unable to provide an update,
as the agency does not have adequate information to review the
ratings.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The migration of rating to the non-cooperating category is in
accordance with Ind-Ra's policy, Guidelines on What Constitutes
Non-Cooperation.
Limitations regarding Information Availability
Ind-Ra has reviewed the credit ratings of R R Holiday Homes Private
Limited on the basis of best available information and is unable to
provide a forward-looking credit view. Hence, the current
outstanding rating might not reflect R R Holiday Homes Private
Limited's credit strength. If an issuer does not provide timely No
Default Statement, it indicates weak governance, particularly in
'Timely debt servicing'. The agency may also consider this as
symptomatic of a possible disruption/distress in the issuer's
credit profile. Therefore, investors and other users are advised to
take appropriate caution while using these ratings.

COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.'
Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, Crisil
Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of Wave One, which restricts Crisil
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. Crisil Ratings believes that rating action on Wave
One is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'. Based
on the last available information, the rating on bank facilities of
Wave One continues to be 'Crisil B/Stable Issuer not cooperating'.
Wave One is a special-purpose vehicle formed under the real estate
arm of the Wave group for a commercial project in Sector 18, Noida.
The project is a 41-storey tower with total saleable area of 11
lakh sq ft, and has a mix of retail space and corporate offices.
Construction commenced in fiscal 2013 and the project was expected
to be partially completed by June 2020.

FNS HOLDINGS: Fitch Withdraws CCC+(tha) National LongTerm Rating
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings (Thailand) Limited has upgraded the National
Long-Term Rating of FNS Holdings Public Company Limited to
'CCC+(tha)' from 'CCC-(tha)'. Fitch has also affirmed its National
Short-Term Rating at 'C(tha)'. Simultaneously, Fitch has withdrawn
the ratings.
The upgrade reflects reduction in refinancing risk after FNS
successfully redeemed its debentures in October 2025. The rating
reflects FNS's tight liquidity, as Fitch expects its wellness
business to operate with negative cash flow for at least the next
24 months, while FNS has limited access to new funding and must
rely on related companies to repay loans and its limited cash
balance.
Fitch has chosen to withdraw the ratings for commercial reasons.
Key Rating Drivers
Refinancing Risk Alleviated: FNS's bond redemption in October 2025
has reduced its refinancing risk. At end-September 2025, FNS had
only secured short-term borrowings from financial institutions
totaling THB123.3 million, with its shares in M.K. Real Estate
Development Public Company Limited (MK) pledged as collateral.
Fitch expects FNS to roll over the secured debts.
Tight Liquidity on Negative FCF: Fitch expects FNS's liquidity to
remain tight, with negative free cash flow (FCF) for at least the
next 24 months due to its wellness business. The business is in its
early stages, and access to new funding is limited. FNS is
therefore likely to rely on loan recoveries from MK, which also has
tight liquidity, to fund the negative FCF. FNS's alternative source
of funding is the divestment of non-core assets, which carries
execution risk.
Limited Operating Scale: FNS's credit profile is constrained by its
small operating scale. It focuses on two wellness projects: RAKxa
Integrative Wellness and RXV Wellness Village. RAKxa, launched in
2020, targets high-end foreign guests, while RXV, opened in 2023,
offers more affordable packages to domestic individual and
corporate customers, and foreign guests. Both projects have
occupancy rates below their cash flow breakeven levels, but FNS
expects to reach this level in the next 12 months. The company
plans to increase occupancy rates by attracting a larger pool of
guests and encouraging repeat visits.
Support to MK Unlikely: Following FNS's reduction of its stake in
MK and deconsolidation of its financials, Fitch expects FNS will no
longer provide financial support to MK. MK plans to source funds
independently of FNS to meet its high refinancing needs in the next
12 months. FNS will focus on improving the performance of its
wellness business, which still has negative operating cash flow and
limits FNS's ability to provide financial support to MK.
Modest Capex and Investment: Fitch forecasts that FNS's capex and
investment requirements will remain modest over the medium term.
This is based on its belief that FNS will focus on the performance
turnaround of the existing two wellness projects before embarking
on business expansion or new investments. As a result, FNS will
incur only minimal maintenance capex over the medium term.
Doubts Raised by Auditor: FNS's independent auditor issued an
opinion with an emphasis of matter on material uncertainty related
to FNS as a going concern in its audit report on the company's
financial statements for the nine month ended 30 September 2025.
FNS reported consecutive net losses in 2024 and 2025. Its current
liabilities exceeded its current assets, excluding short-term loans
to related parties, by THB0.5 billion, which casts significant
doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Peer Analysis
FNS's rating is significantly lower than that of rated peers in
Thailand and is driven by its tight liquidity and limited operating
scale.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
Fitch's Key Assumptions within Its Rating Case for the Issuer
- FNS to focus on its health and wellness business;
- FCF to remain negative in 2025-2027;
- No major capex in 2025-2027;
- No dividend payments in 2025-2027.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
No longer relevant, as the ratings have been withdrawn.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
FNS's liquidity remains tight, as Fitch estimates negative FCF
totaling THB274 million during 2026-2027. FNS may have insufficient
liquidity to sustain its operations in the absence of additional
repayment of loans from MK, additional borrowings from financial
institutions or sales of non-core assets.
Issuer Profile
FNS is a holding company with investments in a variety of
businesses. Its primary investments are in the wellness sector,
where it holds a 100% stake in RX Wellness Ltd, and in the property
and real-estate sector, where it holds a 36.6% stake in MK. Its
other investments include a bakery chain, and small start-up
businesses.
MACROECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS AND SECTOR FORECASTS
Fitch's latest quarterly Global Corporates Sector Forecasts Monitor
data file which aggregates key data points used in its credit
analysis. Fitch's macroeconomic forecasts, commodity price
assumptions, default rate forecasts, sector key performance
indicators and sector-level forecasts are among the data items
included.
