Hela Apparel Holdings PLC has announced that it has filed an application before the Commercial High Court seeking a court-ordered winding up of the company after its Board concluded that it is unable to pay its debts due to continuing liquidity constraints.

In a filing to the Colombo Stock Exchange, the company said its Board reviewed the financial position of the group, including its realisable assets, liabilities, liquidity levels, indebtedness, expected cash flows and creditor obligations before determining that Hela Apparel Holdings PLC and its subsidiaries, Hela Clothing (Private) Limited and Foundation Garments (Private) Limited, were unable to continue their businesses.

The Board resolved on August 4 to seek a court-ordered winding up under the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007, with applications filed before the Commercial High Court on August 5. The two subsidiaries have also submitted separate winding-up applications.
