KRThe Seoul Bankruptcy Court has approved Homeplus's corporate rehabilitation plan, allowing the hypermarket chain to avoid bankruptcy and move forward with its restructuring efforts. The plan received unanimous support from secured creditors, 75.90% from unsecured creditors, and full backing from shareholders. This approval follows a challenging 18-month process, during which Homeplus faced financial difficulties after a credit downgrade led to a funding crisis. The company had initially filed for court receivership in March 2025 but managed to raise the necessary funds, leading to the extension of the voting deadline. With the court's approval, Homeplus now intends to sell 19 of its 37 stores scheduled for closure to repay secured debts and pursue additional fundraising, restructuring, and possible mergers and acquisitions to achieve a full recovery.
