“There is currently no other inside information in relation to the company that needs to be disclosed,” Evergrande said in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Monday, when the city’s market was closed for the National Day holiday.
The development further complicated the company’s plan to renegotiate agreements with its bondholders.
Just days later, the company confirmed that its founder and chairman Hui Ka Yan was “subject to mandatory measures in accordance with the law due to suspicion of illegal crimes.”
In August, Evergrande filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection in the US. Chapter 15 protects the US assets of a foreign company while it works on restructuring its debts.
Some analysts have said the latest setbacks have increased the risk that the company will be unable to agree a restructuring plan with its creditors.
Evergrande faces a court hearing in Hong Kong on a winding-up petition which could potentially force it into liquidation. The hearing, which was scheduled for July, is now due to take place on 30 October.
