I had' nt heard that, but it would make sense - from what I hear all the senior management of Triyards do not expect to be part of a independent listed business once Ezra is wound up.
I think its likely that the company will be sold to one of the larger global yards - and from what I hear there are several interested parties already looking at the business.
Lets hope that with the stock trading on 0.15x Book Value any take over comes at a significant premium and that it can be concluded quickly !!

Does anyone know if the Chairman, CEO and COO of Strategic Marine, left the company almost a month ago? Strategic Marine is a subsidiary of Triyards and I just wondered if this was true and if it is, why they would all leave at the same time. Anyone hear anything?

Screwed up results. Owners are not taking delivery and making stage payments and the big brother is asking them to work for free. They will pull down this company also if left to Lionel from the current experience. Hopefully banks realise this soon.

" On Sunday, offshore support services provider Ezra Holdings Limited (SGX: 5DN)filed for bankruptcy along with a few other related entities. This move has caused panic amongst investors for some Singapore-listed companies that are linked to Ezra.
One such company is Triyards Holdings Ltd (SGX: RC5), a vessel builder for the oil & gas industry and a subsidiary of Ezra&rsquo s. Following news of Ezra&rsquo s bankruptcy filing, Triyards halted the trading of its stock from Monday to Tuesday. But once the trading halt was lifted, the company&rsquo s shares promptly declined. At today&rsquo s close of S$0.220, Triyards&rsquo share price is 25% lower compared to last Friday.
Thing is, there are good reasons for investors to be concerned. On Tuesday night, Triyards announced the following in relation to Ezra&rsquo s bankruptcy:
1) Triyards has US$1.4 million in receivables due from Ezra and the other aforementioned related entities that have also filed for bankruptcy.
2) Triyards and Ezra had both signed up for a banking facility. In the event that Ezra defaults on the facility, Triyards would be liable for a maximum of US$30 million. As of the announcement date, US$29.7 million of the facility has been utilised and none of the financial institutions involved with the banking facility have sought any action on the matter.
3) Ezra and Triyards are joint guarantors for US$8.5 million in borrowings from a financial institution. Following Ezra&rsquo s bankruptcy filing, &ldquo pursuant to certain terms of the facility agreement, the relevant financial institution may assert its right to demand repayment of the US$8.5M liability.&rdquo
4) Because of Ezra&rsquo s bankruptcy, certain financial institutions that have lent to Triyards may &ldquo seek to assert rights&rdquo to demand repayment of their loans or to terminate existing banking facilities. Triyards said that it &ldquo has/will engage and work closely with its financial institutions to ensure there is minimal or no disruption to its existing banking facilities.&rdquo
5) Triyards &ldquo does not have a going concern issue&rdquo and it is &ldquo not aware of any actions by [its] financial institutions&rdquo as a result of the Ezra bankruptcy.
There&rsquo s more to Triyards&rsquo announcement (which can be found here), but I&rsquo ve summarised the most salient points. And at the time of writing of this article (6:21 pm), there&rsquo s no news that any of Triyards&rsquo financial institutions have sought any actions on the company.
It&rsquo s a good thing that Triyards&rsquo financial institutions are maintaining peace. According to the company&rsquo s latest financials as of 31 December 2016, it has just US$15.3 million in freely-available cash. There&rsquo s another US$13.2 million in pledged cash, but it&rsquo s not clear to me what the purpose of this money is for.
In any case, if all the financial institutions referenced above were to seek action, Triyards would have to easily fork out a sum of at least US$38.2 million in short notice (US$29.7 million plus US$8.5 million). This is over twice the amount of freely-available cash that Triyards has.
Triyards does have trade receivables of US$215.6 million (this does not include the US$1.4 million due from Ezra and the other related bankrupt entities) that it could theoretically convert into cash in a short amount of time.
But, given the tough situation the entire oil and gas industry is in at the moment, early or even just timely collection of receivables could be a tall order. And, it does not help that Triyards has struggled with generating positive cash flow in recent quarters, as the table below shows:
| Quarter ended | Operating cash flow (in US$, millions) |
| 30 November 2014 | 10.5 |
| 28 February 2015 | 15.0 |
| 31 May 2015 | 33.1 |
| 31 August 2015 | -0.3 |
| 30 November 2015 | 1.4 |
| 29 February 2016 | -25.3 |
| 31 May 2016 | -26.7 |
| 31 August 2016 | 20.5 |
| 30 November 2016 | -23.3 |

As Triyards mentioned in its announcement, there is no going concern issue with the company. But, if any of Triyards&rsquo financial institutions decide to stop providing support, the situation could turn very ugly, very quickly" .

We all should be careful about shipyards which are at the end of value chain. They risk cancellations and deferrments any if they come then they wipe out very thin margins quickly. Most of the lift boats ordered bt Ezion at Triyards are deferred and so are other offshore vessels. Non offshore related projects must be OK but they are very few. Even Keppel, Jurong are all facing the same thing and suffering with deferments and cancellations and Triyards will be no different.
Aiyo, why did u dig up my history post?

You are right, once the banks sell their stake to potential investor then it will trigger a RTO. Probably you are aware P/B ratio is less than 30% which is deeply discount. Even they take over at 50% of their NAV which is still worth $0.40. That is about 100% profit if you buy at current price of 20.5 cents. DYODD.

Big drop from 31 to 20 and that is more than 30%. Does nopt deserve that. Must distance itself from troubled group!
Unlike Noble, how to sell where their shares trading volume is so low.
