(Bloomberg) -- Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. said a wealth management product guaranteed by the Chinese developer has missed a payment. 

The company has faced “unprecedented pressure on its liquidity” due to a slew of unfavorable factors such as credit rating downgrades and a challenging property market environment, it said in a statement on Thursday. The developer, together with the issuer Kaisa Finance, will work out a repayment plan for the product soon, it added.

Concerns about the missed payment triggered dramatic declines in the firm’s dollar bonds Thursday. Its 6.5% dollar note maturing in December fell 13.8 cents on the dollar to 48.3 cents, Bloomberg-compiled prices indicate, suggesting growing doubt over the firm’s capacity to service its near-term debt.

The shares fell 14% in Hong Kong to the lowest price since its 2009 listing.
