,(Bloomberg) -- China Evergrande Group Chairman Hui Ka Yan has reportedly injected more than 7 billion yuan ($1.1 billion) in cash to boost the firm’s liquidity, as investor focus turns to efforts by another Chinese developer to delay upcoming payments.
China Business News cited unidentified sources close to Evergrande as saying Hui raised the funds from the disposal of personal assets and share pledges. That comes as his associate pledged two houses on the Peak in Hong Kong as collateral for a HK$821 million ($105 million) loan, which may help pay for overdue coupons on two bonds, according to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts led by Daniel Fan.
Focus turns to Wednesday’s deadline for a Yango Group unit’s dollar bond exchange offer, after the company warned that without more time it “may not be able to repay” existing bonds at maturity. The firm cited deteriorating consumer sentiment and “multiple credit events” resulting in the closing of refinancing venues that has pressured its liquidity. Investors in general remain wary, moving to pare risk Tuesday after a recent rally, as Chinese high-yield junk notes declined 2 to 3 cents on the dollar.

Solar Car IPO With Evergrande Ties to Ride EV Craze (10:35 a.m. NY)
A German solar carmaker with no sales and ties to troubled China Evergrande Group is tapping the electric-vehicle frenzy that has gripped initial public offering markets across the globe.
Sono Motors, which has developed an electric car with integrated solar panels to power its batteries, is seeking a valuation of more than $1 billion in a U.S. listing. One catch: It plans to outsource production to a former Saab factory in Sweden that’s now owned by Evergrande’s automotive arm. And there’s its lack of revenue, as well as doubts about the viability of solar-powered vehicles.
