CATALIST-LISTED SBI Offshore has not been able to repatriate US$3.2 million in funds from China to be placed in escrow due to regulations governing the remittance of foreign exchange.

It is exploring options to ensure its China escrow account is opened by July 2019 or it would consider repatriating its money in China through capital reduction and/or liquidation of its Chinese subsidiary Jiangyin SBI Offshore Equipment Co (JSBI). This will take into account the costs and time needed, it said in a regulatory filing on Thurs-day.
