Meanwhile, Hyflux has signed non-disclosure agreements with 19 interested parties for possible rescue financing. None are its current bank lenders, although it is in discussions with a few banks on rescue financing, Mr Glenn Peters of Ernst & Young Solutions' transaction advisory services said. "Beyond that, we are also in discussions with project finance banks for support to complete projects," he added. Despite its woes, Ms Lum said the company has not laid off any of its 2,500 employees. "There were some resignations... but we still need people to execute our projects," she said.
