Honestbee ex-staff, trade creditors won’t get any of the S$320 million owed
Secured lender Formation Group recovered about S$700,000; liquidators to apply for honestbee to be dissolved
Add BT as a preferred source
THERE is no money left to pay former staff, vendors and other unsecured creditors of failed grocery delivery startup honestbee, who are owed S$319.9 million, The Business Times (BT) has learnt.
Honestbee’s sole secured creditor, Formation Group, has realised about S$700,000 from the startup’s assets, BT understands. The sum falls far short of the US$4 million worth of debentures that Formation Group held over honestbee’s assets.
According to documents seen by BT, honestbee’s liquidator BDO only managed to recover about S$720 from excess payments for “electrical supplies”.
