Ecobuilt (KLSE:ECOHLDS) said Maxi Steel & Aluminium Industries, a creditor of the company's wholly owned subsidiary Rexallent Construction, has filed for a proposed scheme of arrangement along with an application for a restraining order with the High Court of Shah Alam, Malaysia.
The proposed scheme seeks to restructure and settle amounts owed by Rexallent to creditors, according to a Friday filing to the Malaysian bourse.
The company's shares crashed 14% in Monday's trade.
An automatic moratorium of up to two months took effect upon filing, restricting winding-up actions, receiver appointments and certain legal proceedings without court approval.
Ecobuilt said the moratorium is not expected to materially affect the group's financial or operational activities.
