UniVision (AIM: UVEL), the Hong Kong based Group whose principal activities are the supply, design, installation and maintenance of closed-circuit television and surveillance systems, and the sale of security related products, announces that it has received a petition that has been brought by one of its suppliers, namely, Synnex Technology International (HK) Limited ("Synnex"), in the High Court in Hong Kong; in respect of outstanding debts owed by the Company of HK$11,455,983 (approximately £1.158 million) in relation to payments under a deed of settlement entered into between the Company and Synnex on 30 January 2023. Synnex has presented the petition ("the Petition") for the Company to be wound up pursuant to Section 177(1)(d) of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap.32) in Hong Kong.
