Business rescue practitioners (BRPs) for embattled
construction company Group Five on Wednesday announced that further sales of
non-utilised assets were effected in the last month, with total proceeds of
R1.2-billion now realisable on a cumulative basis.
The company has previously said that numerous
disposals are subject to final agreement or conditions precedent in order to be
concluded and that, where applicable, proceeds received from assets subject to
security agreement will, or have been, used to reduce the relevant secured
debt.
The balance of unsecured proceeds are being applied
to working capital requirements.
