-- Yida China (HKG:3639) said its unit, Dalian Software Park, has been sued by a branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SHA:600000) over a loan dispute, according to a Monday Hong Kong bourse filing.
Shares of the property firm were down nearly 5% in Tuesday's late morning trade.
The lender is seeking repayment of about 746.5 million yuan in outstanding principal, along with interest and penalties, and has requested enforcement of mortgage rights over certain pledged properties.
The claim relates to an alleged breach of a funds supervision agreement after rental income from a tenant was not deposited into a designated account.
Yida China said the loan had been performing normally and disputed the lender's demand for early repayment, adding that it is seeking legal advice and assessing the financial impact.
