RNS Number : 6549L  Macau Property Opportunities Fund  16 December 2025

 

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION.

 

 

16 December 2025

 

Macau Property Opportunities Fund Limited

("MPO" or the "Company")

Financial position update

Further to the Company's announcements on 27 November 2025 which provided an
update on the Company's financial position, the Company announces that it has
not completed the payments of the previously referred to loan instalments due
on its Penha Heights banking facilities and is therefore expected to be
considered to be in default on those facilities.

Under the terms of the facilities agreements the lending banks for Penha
Height would be contractually entitled to demand accelerated repayment of part
or all outstanding amounts due under such facilities or call on parent
guarantees given by the Company to relevant borrower entities, which could
trigger cross-default provisions across the Group's other facilities.

The Company remains in active discussions with its lenders and will make a
further update when there is additional clarity on the likely action that may
be taken, in respect of the Penha Heights facilities.

Action from the Company's lenders could ultimately result in expedited and
enforced sales of the two Penha Heights units by the respective lenders
(including at depressed prices) and the Group being required to satisfy demand
for payment of all outstanding monies due in respect of Penha Heights through
other means, which the Company does not anticipate being able to do given its
current working capital and liquidity position.

Due to prevailing market conditions, there is no certainty that, in the case
of lender enforcement, Penha Heights could be sold for an amount equal to or
above the outstanding loan amount secured against it which could result in the
Group not being able to satisfy the loans secured against Penha Heights nor
being able to distribute any returns to Shareholders in respect of that
property. Due to the parent company guarantees under the Penha Heights banking
facilities and cross-default provisions in the Group's financing documents,
there is also a risk that the Group could become obligated to dispose of its
other outstanding properties on an expedited and/or depressed basis, and could
lead to the need for restructuring, liquidation or insolvency proceedings and
Shareholders losing all or part of their investment.

Separately, the Company notes that it has exchanged contracts in respect of
the sale of a further two units at The Waterside, which are expected to
complete in Q1 of 2026. Following completion of these sales, 14 units remain
available for sale. In addition, following completion of recent sales at The
Waterside, the loan-to-value ratio has reduced below the 60% covenant limit
for the property's banking facility (versus 64.5% at 30 June 2025).
