Korea Development Bank, one of the Group's main creditors, was requested by the Group's holding company, STX Corp, and two affiliates to supply liquidity for the company's proposed restructuring.
According to Yonhap, the company's 11 subsidiaries have been struggling from liquidity shortages from mounting debt due to the Global Financial Crisis-induced downturn in shipbuilding and shipping.
The group is also reportedly looking to sell Chinese subsidiary STX Dalian Shipbuilding, as well as its European and Scandinavian assets.
