China Evergrande liquidators recover 1% of debt claims after 2-1/2 years
Liquidators said they have recovered less than 1% of creditor claims and are pursuing more asset sales and lawsuits to boost payouts.
- On Thursday, Evergrande liquidators Edward Middleton and Tiffany Wong reported recovering $435.9 million from asset sales, targeting a first interim dividend payment to creditors in the first half of 2027.
- The liquidation, ordered in January 2024, faces significant obstacles including disabled access to mainland Chinese accounting systems and fragmented records across Evergrande's vast network of subsidiaries.
- Liquidators raised funds by selling 96 artworks including works by Picasso and Monet, aircraft, and club memberships, though art sales resulted in a loss of approximately $26 million compared to original purchase costs.
- Legal actions continue alongside asset sales, as liquidators pursue $8.4 billion in damages from PwC over alleged audit failures and seek to claw back $6.5 billion from founder Hui Ka Yan and former executives.
- Prospects for recovering assets held by mainland subsidiaries remain "considered remote," liquidators stated, while exclusive negotiations to sell a property management stake continue; the entire winding-up process could take more than a decade.
