ABADELL PTY: Boost Juice Parent Co. Steps in to Support Four Stores
-------------------------------------------------------------------
7NEWS.com.au reports that Boost Juice's parent company has stepped
in to rescue four long-running stores after the franchise operator
behind the locations collapsed earlier this month.
According to 7NEWS.com.au, Boots Juice confirmed on May 15 it would
temporarily take over management of the stores at Robina, Australia
Fair, Paradise Centre and Surfers Paradise on Queensland's Gold
Coast, after Abadell Pty Ltd was forced into liquidation on May 1
over an alleged AUD1.5 million tax debt.
"Boost Juice confirms that one of our valued franchise partners,
operating four stores, has recently entered into liquidation,"
Boost Juice parent company Retail Zoo told 7NEWS.com.au.
"We recognise this is a difficult time for all involved. We are
committed to supporting our franchise partner throughout this
process.
"Boost Juice will assume management of these stores with
involvement from the existing franchisee and their team.
"This is a temporary arrangement while we work through the process
and provide support."
The four locations, operated for more than two decades under owners
Karen and Steven Ackland, shut abruptly last week.
Records show the Paradise Centre store opened in 2003, followed by
Surfers Paradise in 2004, Australia Fair in 2006 and Robina in
2009.
7NEWS.com.au notes that the closures sparked surprise among
customers, with the stores considered some of the chain's busiest
locations on the coast.
"There are always big lines at these locations," one local wrote
online after the shutdowns emerged.
At the same time as the liquidation proceedings, the Acklands are
preparing to auction their Broadbeach Waters mansion, known among
Gold Coast Suns circles as a share house for young players
including Mac Andrew.
Boost Juice described the collapse as an "isolated situation" and
said the chain continued to perform strongly and expand across
Australia, where it now operates about 380 stores, 7NEWS.com.au
relays.
Founded in Adelaide in 2000 by Janine Allis, Boost Juice has
expanded into a global chain with more than 850 stores across 13
countries.

BARBEQUES GALORE: Rescue Plan Rests on Creditor Approval
--------------------------------------------------------
Sarah Stowe at Franchise Executives reports that a restructured
Barbeques Galore is to come out of administration, three months
after the retail chain appointed voluntary administrators.
According to Franchise Executives, Gordon Brothers, who bought the
business from Quadrant Private Equity in December 2025, will
restructure the business through a deed of company arrangement
(DOCA), which is conditional on a number of terms, including
landlords' and suppliers' support.
Franchise Executives relates that the arrangement involves a AUD5
million payment to creditors, discharging a portion of the
retailer's debt, and absorbing AUD6.6 million in employee
entitlements.
Under the plan, CEO David White and CFO David Hughson will continue
to lead the business.
"With the support of suppliers, staff and landlords, the great
Barbeques Galore team and I are confident that we can build on the
fantastic Barbeques Galore brand and market leading position to
continue to provide Australians with the best choice of outdoor
cooking products for many years to come," the report quotes Mr.
White as saying.
Barbeques Galore continued to trade during receivership although
five stores were closed, resulting in a small number of
redundancies.
Philip Campbell-Wilson, Lisa Gibb and Matthew Byrnes of Grant
Thornton were appointed voluntary administrators in February;
Quentin Olde, Luke Pittorino and Liam Healey of Ankura were
appointed as receivers and managers.
Franchise Executives adds that Quentin Olde said "The proposal is
still subject to the approval of creditors, however, the receivers
are confident that with the support of suppliers, landlords and
employees, the iconic Australian business can continue as a going
concern.
"After the restructuring, the business will be stronger and more
stable, retaining around 500 jobs and allowing franchisees, the
majority of landlords, and suppliers to keep trading with the
company."

OZ GOODS: Placed Into Liquidation, Leaves Shoppers in Refund Limbo
------------------------------------------------------------------
News.com.au reports that customers have unleashed on an Aussie
budget retailer after it announced it had collapsed into
liquidation - with one shopper claiming they simply told her "too
bad, we're out of business" after ordering with them.
Scathing recent reviews of retailer Oz Goods Depot have emerged
after the company announced it was ceasing trading and winding down
operations, news.com.au says.
According to news.com.au, the move was confirmed in a published
notice by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
(ASIC) on May 15.
"Notice is given that at a general meeting of the members of the
Company held on May 15, it was resolved that the Company be wound
up," the notice stated.
Anthony John Warner from CRS Insolvency Services has been appointed
liquidator, news.com.au discloses.
The retailer sold goods online ranging from garden furniture to pet
supplies, describing itself as a "go-to Australian store for
premium home appliances, furniture, lifestyle essentials and
more".
But in a message on its website, the owners announced the business
was winding down and unfulfilled orders would not be honoured,
according to news.com.au.
It reads: "After an incredible journey, Oz Goods Depot has made the
difficult decision to cease trading and wind down operations.
"We are proud to have shipped more than 25,000 orders to customers
across Australia, and we sincerely thank every customer who
supported us along the way.
"As part of the closure process, all unshipped and unfulfilled
orders will be cancelled."
News.com.au says the collapse has sparked a flurry of negative
online reviews from customers who claim to have been left in
limbo.
One claimed: "I ordered and paid for a shed and got a curt reply
weeks and weeks later saying – ‘too bad, we're out of
business'. One star is far too much."
Another claimed to have made an order several weeks ago, only to be
told the product was out of stock – complaining of having been
waiting more than five weeks for a refund.
Several others share similar alleged experiences of unfulfilled
orders and struggles with communication.
As of May 19, all of the company's social media pages had been
taken down.
The company's statement adds: "Please be aware that the liquidator
is not able to issue refunds directly, as the company is now in
liquidation.
"Submitting a claim allows your debt to be formally recorded with
the liquidator."
The message goes on to advise any customers with unresolved orders,
refunds, returns or other outstanding matters to contact their bank
or payment provider directly, news.com.au relays.
It adds: "Business operations and customer support have now ceased.
Customer support inboxes are no longer being actively monitored or
responded to."
"If you are unable to obtain an outcome through your payment
provider, a claim may be submitted to us through the appointed
liquidator – info@crsinsolvencyservices.com.au."

NEW WORLD: Mulls Fee to Avoid US$9BB Rent for 11 Skies Mall Project
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, reports
that New World Development Co. is in talks to pay up to end its
obligations to the struggling 11 Skies mall project, the latest
option for a firm that is locked in negotiations with officials in
the city.
Bloomberg relates that the payment - effectively an exit fee -
would cover some of New World's long-term rental obligations with
Hong Kong's Airport Authority, the people said, asking not to be
identified while discussing private information. It is unlikely to
be paid in cash but could instead be in the form of land parcels or
other assets, the people said.
The two sides have not yet settled on the size of the potential
payment, according to the people. But New World's current
commitment is huge: It is expected to pay rent of at least HK$1.8
billion per year from 2028 through 2066, according to UBS Group -
an amount that would ultimately tally around US$9 billion.
According to Bloomberg, the negotiations are the latest chapter in
the long-running saga of the 11 Skies project, which has become a
stumbling block for New World as it moves to ease a cash crunch
that pushed it to the brink last year. An exit is seen as key to
its plans to draw investment either through partnerships with
strategic investors or a public share sale.
Those efforts were dealt a blow when Blackstone recently walked
away from a proposed US$4 billion tie-up with New World. The Cheng
family, which is led by billionaire Henry Cheng and is the
controlling shareholder of the developer, remains in talks with
other parties including a consortium led by RRJ Capital and Ares
Management, Bloomberg News reported earlier.
Several proposals for the payment have been discussed, including
the Airport Authority receiving land that's owned by New World or
taking a stake in the developer, the people said. Other options
include New World providing free services for the authority or
paying in cash, one of the people said, Bloomberg relays.
The airport authority is now trying to find new partners among
major Hong Kong developers and global leisure and entertainment
operators, who could run the mall after New World's exit, the
people said.
A spokesperson for New World did not respond to requests by
Bloomberg for comment. A representative for the Airport Authority
said it has been maintaining close communication with New World
regarding 11 Skies, and plans to lean more heavily on entertainment
and dining for the project.
Bloomberg relates that the authority said earlier this year that it
considers 2028 to be a good time for 11 Skies to open in phases –
a delay from its previous target of launching the project in
mid-2026.
Negotiations are ongoing and it's possible New World will remain
the manager of the project with a revised agreement, one of the
people said. Bloomberg News previously reported the parties were
discussing a rent reduction.
While an exit from 11 Skies may help restore investor interest, the
cost would potentially add to New World's financial strain.
Although last year's US$11 billion refinancing has offered some
breathing room, New World is still seeking to sell assets including
the Grand Hyatt and the Rosewood hotels, Bloomberg has previously
reported.
The 11 Skies complex now sits largely vacant as a broader retail
slump in the city sees the developer struggle to attract and keep
tenants. When New World won the tender in 2018 – at a projected
cost of HK$20 billion – it was set to be Hong Kong's largest
shopping and entertainment hub, Bloomberg notes.
About New World
New World Development Company Limited -- https://www.nwd.com.hk/ --
an investment holding company, operates in the property development
and investment business in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Its
property portfolio includes residential, retail, office, and
industrial properties. The company is also involved in the loyalty
program, fashion retailing and trading, and land development
businesses; and development and operation of sports park. In
addition, it operates club houses, golf and tennis academies, and
shopping malls; constructs and operates Skycity complex; and
operates department stores.
New World is still facing challenges even after it pulled off one
of Hong Kong's biggest refinancing deals worth US$11 billion
earlier last year. NWD secured a HKD5.9 billion term loan facility
led by Deutsche Bank AG, announced on Sept. 25, 2025. The facility
is secured by a first-ranking mortgage on the Victoria Dockside
property. This loan, part of a larger refinancing effort, was
smaller than the initially targeted HKD15.6 billion, highlighting
continued lender caution, Bloomberg News said.
Controlled by Hong Kong's Cheng family, New World carries the
heaviest debt burden among major developers in the city, amid a
prolonged real estate downturn in the financial hub and mainland
China. Its net debt reached 95.5 per cent of shareholders' equity
as at December, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.

KEELZ FACILITY: CARE Moves D Ratings to Not Cooperating Category
----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings has migrated the rating on bank facilities of Keelz
Facility Management Services Private Limited (Keelz) to Issuer Not
Cooperating category.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Non-convertible 15.00 CARE D; ISSUER NOT
Debentures COOPERATING; Rating moved to
ISSUER NOT COOPERATING category
Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Limited (CareEdge Ratings) has been seeking
information from Keelz to monitor the rating vide e-mail
communications dated April 9, 2026, April 20, 2026, April 28, 2026,
and May 4, 2026, among others and numerous phone calls. However,
despite repeated requests, the company has not provided the
requisite information for monitoring the rating.
In line with the extant Securities and Exchange Board of India
(SEBI) guidelines, CareEdge Ratings has reviewed the rating on the
basis of the best available information, which however, in CareEdge
Ratings' opinion is not sufficient to arrive at a fair rating. The
rating on Keelz's instruments will now be denoted as CARE D; ISSUER
NOT COOPERATING.
Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and public at
large) are hence requested to exercise caution while using the
above rating.
CareEdge Ratings has arrived at the rating of Keelz after factoring
business and financial profiles of Bhandari Foils & Tubes Limited
(BFTL; rated 'CARE D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING'), given that there
are no standalone operations in Keelz and BFTL shall remain liable
for servicing the debt obligations of Keelz. The rating assigned to
instruments continues to remain constrained by poor liquidity
marked by inadequacy of cash flows for servicing debt obligations.
The rating further reflects weak financial risk profile of BFTL
marked by negative net worth, working capital intensive operations,
exposure of BFTL's profitability to volatile raw material prices,
and its presence in highly fragmented and cyclical steel industry.
Analytical approach: Standalone
The rating of Keelz has been also arrived at factoring business and
financial profiles of BFTL given that there are no standalone
operations in Keelz and BFTL shall remain liable for servicing the
debt obligations of Keelz. Keelz is a special purpose vehicle (SPV)
to mobilise funds for infusion in BFTL.
Detailed description of key rating drivers:
At the time of the last rating on May 16, 2025, the following were
the rating strengths and weaknesses (updated for the information
available from Registrar of Companies, Stock Exchange and NSDL –
India BondInfo).
Key weaknesses
* Cash flows to remain inadequate to service debt obligations and
weak financial profile of BFTL: Keelz, an SPV, has raised INR15
crore in non-convertible debentures (NCDs), which shall be utilised
towards infusion in BFTL for meeting its working capital
requirement. Keelz is a non-operational company, and the debt
raised in Keelz shall be serviced by BFTL. Part of the Bhandari
Group of Chennai, BFTL is engaged in manufacturing stainless steel
(SS) and tubes. With completion of OTS in March 2025, and infusion
of funds by Keelz for working capital, BFTL is expected to scale up
its operations. Notwithstanding the expected scale up of
operations, cashflows are unlikely to remain adequate to service
the debt obligations. BFTL also has a weak financial profile marked
by negative net worth, which restricts the flexibility to raise
funds.
* Working capital intensive nature of operations: This industry is
inherently working capital intensive, primarily due to the long
inventory holding period. The competitive nature of the industry
requires extending longer credit periods to customers. Elongated
working capital cycle could constrain the liquidity and ability to
scale up operations.
* Presence in highly fragmented and cyclical SS tubes and pipes
industry: The SS tubes and pipes industry is intensely competitive
and fragmented marked by the presence of both larger players
and numerous smaller players in the unorganised segment. The demand
of welded and seamless tubes and pipes is cyclical, as it depends
upon the capital expenditure plan of major players in the end-user
industry. Hence, it is susceptible to the slowdown in the end-user
industries and global economic slowdown. The industry also faces
threat of cheaper imports from China, Europe, and Taiwan. The
company's operating margin remains susceptible to volatility in raw
material prices.
Key strength
* Experience of promoters in the steel industry: The promoters have
wide experience and long track record of over three decades in the
SS industry. BFTL has a wide range of SS products, including tubes,
pipes, pipe fittings, coils, foils, and strips. The company's
operations are also supported by the backward integration with
manufacturing facility for cold-rolled stainless steel (CRSS)
coils, which is the raw material for manufacturing SS tubes and
pipes.
Incorporated in 1993, BFTL, promoted by Bhandari group, is engaged
in manufacturing SS tubes, bright annealing tubes, CRSS coils,
strips, foils, sections, and components, among others. The company
has its manufacturing unit situated in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh, and
has an installed capacity of 9,000 metric ton per annum (MTPA) for
SS tubes/bright annealing tubes, 6,000 MTPA for SS
Sections/Components/Strips, and 8,000 MTPA for CRSS
Coils/Strips/Foils.

VIDEOCON INDUSTRIES: NCLAT Upholds Separate Insolvency Processes
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that appellate tribunal NCLAT has upheld
separate insolvency proceedings for two Videocon group entities --
Videocon Industries Ltd (VIL) and Videocon Oil Ventures Ltd (VOVL)
-- while setting aside an earlier NCLT order that had directed
clubbing of the two cases.
Passing a final order, the NCLAT said creditors of VIL and VOVL had
intended the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Processes (CIRPs) of
the two companies to run independently, considering the distinct
nature of their businesses and the need for a specialised
resolution, ET relates.
In this, state-owned Bharat Petroleum subsidiary, BPRL has acquired
VOVL, exercising its Right of First Refusal (ROFR), which was
subsequently approved by NCLT through a June 2024 order, while the
CIRP of VIL is still pending.
According to ET, the appellate tribunal in its order said VIL and
VOVL operate in starkly different sectors -- with VIL engaged in
consumer electronics and VOVL in oil-related businesses -- making
it impractical for a single entity to possess the expertise
required to revive both operations effectively.
"Therefore, the creditors of VIL and VOVL intended to conduct
separate CIRPs for the two companies to ensure different buyers
with the requisite expertise for their businesses, who would be
able to effectively handle the assets and revive the businesses,"
the tribunal said in a 40-page order passed on May 14, 2026.
It further held that the "decision was taken in the commercial
wisdom of the Committee of Creditors (CoC), which should not be
interfered with by the tribunal (NCLT), ET relays.
Earlier, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had, on February
12, 2020, while allowing a plea filed by Venugopal Dhoot, directed
the resolution professional to consider and treat all assets,
properties rights, claims, benefits of Videocon Oil Venture,
Videocon Hydrocarbon Holdings, Videocon Energy Brasil and Videocon
Indonesia Nunkan Inc as assets and properties of VIL for
insolvency.
About Videocon Industries
Videocon Industries sells consumer products like color televisions,
washing machines, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens
and many other home appliances in India.
Videocon, owned by the Dhoot family, was taken to bankruptcy court
after it failed to repay INR230 crore to SBI in 2017. It was among
the first 12 companies pushed into bankruptcy after directions from
the Reserve Bank of India in 2017.
On June 6, 2018, National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai
bench, admitted a petition for initiating insolvency resolution
process against the company under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy
Code, 2016.
The company's total debt stood at over INR635 billion in 2019,
according to Business Standard, citing bankruptcy case-related
disclosures on the company's website.

DFNN INC: To Restructure PHP82M in Liabilities Via Equity Swap Deal
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bilyonaryo.com reports that DFNN Inc. has approved a
debt-for-equity swap involving three subsidiaries to wipe out more
than PHP82 million in liabilities and restore its negative
shareholders' equity position.
Under the restructuring plan approved by the board on May 15, DFNN
will assume the outstanding obligations of domestic gaming operator
LuckyU Inc, IT solutions provider Inter-Active Entertainment
Solutions Technologies Inc (IEST), and Singapore-based PGI Systems
Pte Ltd, Bilyonaryo.com relates.
In exchange, the parent company will receive newly issued common
shares from the subsidiaries' unissued authorized capital stock,
effectively converting the liabilities into equity without any cash
consideration.
According to Bilyonaryo.com, the transaction consolidates
group-level obligations at the parent company and is aimed at
addressing a long-standing structural issue while ensuring
compliance with Philippine Stock Exchange financial requirements.
"The transaction is a vital component of DFNN's comprehensive
corporate restructuring plan designed to permanently resolve and
reverse the company's negative shareholders' equity," the company
said. It added that the move will extinguish the PHP82 million
consolidated cash liability without affecting liquidity, allowing
funds to be redirected toward DFNN's core IT and gaming
operations.
Creditors Falcor, Confetti, RCG, and Wintech have consented to the
assignment of debt, releasing the subsidiaries from their
obligations and making DFNN the sole obligor, Bilyonaryo.com says.
Bilyonaryo.com relates that the company said the liabilities are
expected to be converted into DFNN equity, although alternative
settlement arrangements remain possible.
Key transaction terms—including the number of shares to be
issued, pricing, and conversion ratios—have yet to be finalized.
Bilyonaryo.com adds that DFNN said these will be based on the
outstanding principal amounts recorded in the subsidiaries' books
and finalized through separate subscription agreements.
LuckyU operates a PAGCOR-licensed gaming venue, while IEST provides
gaming systems and technology solutions.
DFNN Inc. provides information technology solutions. The Company
specializes in high volume and secure financial transactions,
software development, information technology support services, and
turnkey implementations. DFNN serves customers in the Philippines.

UCARS PTE: Placed Into Liquidation on SGD4 million Debt
-------------------------------------------------------
The Business Times reports that troubled car portal UCars has been
wound up, more than a year after it was revealed to be SGD4 million
in debt and owe salaries to former employees.
A letter sent to creditors on May 18 and seen by The Business Times
indicates the company was wound up pursuant to a court order dated
March 20, with the reason being cash flow problems.
The letter, from appointed liquidator Seah Chee Wei of Rock
Stevenson, further stated that a creditor meeting via Zoom was
fixed for May 8, 2026.
According to BT, the letter indicated that the company's total
liabilities stood at SGD4 million, with a deficit of SGD3.9
million.
The book value of its assets - mostly "Other Assets" - are SGD1.7
million, while the estimated realisable value of assets is
SGD90,070, which are mostly legal costs that have yet to be
claimed.
An edition of the Government Gazette, dated March 13, stated that
UCars director Hong Chun Mun filed a High Court application for the
company to be wound up on Feb. 23, 2026, BT relays.
A number of former employees who are still owed salaries attended
the creditor meeting held on May 8.
In February 2024, UCars laid off the majority of its editorial team
of about 10 people, with some of these former employees still owed
salaries, BT recalls. The company closed its offices at Ayer Rajah
Crescent and let go of its remaining employees in the fourth
quarter of 2024.
Freelance journalist Ben Chia, 39, a former UCars employee, told
BT: "The meeting laid out the process of liquidation. The
liquidator informed us that a committee will be formed to see
whether it is worth proceeding with the legal action to reclaim
money. If the money is reclaimed, we may be able to be repaid."
At the meeting, it was revealed that 21 United Holdings owed UCars
SGD90,070 in legal fees as a result of two court cases.
Court documents show that in 2024, 21 United Holdings sued UCars
for around SGD440,000 allegedly owed to it, but lost the case, BT
discloses.
In 2025, UCars sued 21 United Holdings regarding an extraordinary
general meeting (EGM) that sought to remove Hong as director of the
company.
BT reported on the company's SGD4 million debt in January 2025,
where an EGM was to be held on Feb 7 to pass a resolution on the
company's voluntary winding-up.
Around 60 creditors were named at the time, including former
employees. Automotive financial services company Teck Wei Credit
was the largest creditor, with around SGD1.3 million owed.
Other creditors included PY Opulence Investments, Black Kite
Investments, One10 Food Sciences and HFC Ventures.
Launched in mid-2019, UCARS operates an online car marketplace in
Singapore.
