EC World Real Estate Investment Trust said on May, 09 2026 that Hangzhou Fenhua Investment LLP has secured a May, 06 2026 judgment from the Hangzhou Intermediate Court holding the trust’s subsidiary, Hangzhou Beigang Logistics, jointly liable for RMB3.515 billion under guarantees dated Dec, 31 2021.

The guarantees back the obligations of EC World REIT’s sponsor, Forchn Holdings Group, to Hangzhou Fenhua under an equity-repurchase agreement. EC World REIT’s manager stated it never authorised Beigang to issue the guarantees and has instructed PRC counsel to investigate how the company seal was affixed without approval.

The manager is considering an appeal and warned that, without one, Hangzhou Fenhua could seek court enforcement against Beigang for all or part of the RMB3.515 billion. The board is also reviewing why the litigation, first detected in late April, was only announced on May, 09 2026.

Further updates will be released when available, and unitholders were advised to exercise caution when trading EC World REIT units.
