ABACUS BAR: Melbourne Restaurant Goes Into Liquidation
------------------------------------------------------
The Courier Mail reports that Abacus Bar & Kitchen, a popular
Melbourne restaurant, has plunged into liquidation owing an
estimated AUD2 million-plus to creditors and leaving around 30
staff members with unpaid wages totaling over AUD70,000.
The Courier Mail relates that the high-profile
sustainability-focused venue closed permanently following
industry-wide financial pressures, including rising costs affecting
other Chapel Street businesses.
AUSTRALIAN CANVA: ASIC Fines Group Over Late Financial Reports
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has
issued infringement notices totalling AUD792,000 to four companies
within the Australian Canva Group, operator of the global online
design and publishing tool Canva, for allegedly failing to lodge
their financial reports for the financial year ending December 31,
2024 by the required date.
Canva Pty Ltd, Canva Operations Pty Limited, Canva Trading Pty Ltd,
and Fusion Books Pty Ltd each paid an infringement notice of
AUD198,000 for not lodging their financial reports by the April 30,
2025 due date. Canva Pty Ltd lodged its FY24 consolidated report
covering the four companies on March 27, 2026.
Payment of an infringement notice is not an admission of guilt or
liability, and the companies are not regarded as having been
convicted of the alleged offence.
The specific reasons for ASIC's concerns are set out in the
infringement notice on the Infringement Notices Register.
ASIC's infringement notices for FY24 non-compliance
Financial reporting misconduct including failure to lodge financial
reports is one of ASIC's 2026 enforcement priorities). ASIC has
issued, and received payment for, 21 infringement notices worth
more than AUD4 million for alleged FY24 financial reporting
breaches. This is in addition to court-imposed fines for failing to
lodge financial reports and related governance obligations,
including more than AUD1.1 million in fines against three public
companies in a single day at the Downing Centre Local Court.
ASIC's focus on financial reporting in 2026
ASIC remains focused on driving improved compliance by companies
and other entities with financial reporting obligations through an
ongoing surveillance program and enforcement action.
ASIC Commissioner Kate O'Rourke said, 'ASIC is undertaking
targeted, data-driven surveillance to identify non‑lodgment and
persistent late lodgement of financial reports.
'Companies and other entities with reporting obligations must
ensure financial reports are lodged within the required timeframes.
Both non-lodgment and late lodgement prevents creditors and other
users of the reports from making timely and informed decisions when
dealing with these companies and is a failure of their legal
obligations.
'In line with our current enforcement priority, ASIC has a number
of open investigations into alleged non-lodgment and late lodgement
of financial reports, and enforcement action will continue,' Ms
O'Rourke said.
Companies and other entities with reporting obligations
Large proprietary companies are required to prepare and lodge
annual financial reports. A proprietary company is classified as
large if it meets at least two of the following criteria for a
financial year:
- the consolidated revenue of the company and any entities it
controls is AUD50 million or more
- the consolidated gross assets of the company and any entities
it controls is AUD25 million or more, and
- the company and any entities it controls have 100 or more
employees.
In addition to large proprietary companies, other entities that are
required to prepare and lodge financial reports include public
companies, registered managed investment schemes, registrable
superannuation entities, and small proprietary companies that are
controlled by a foreign company.
About Australian Canva Group
Canva is an online design and publishing tool. The Australian Canva
Group has undergone a corporate restructure since December 31,
2024. For the financial year ending December 31, 2025, Canva Group
(Australia) reports through Canva Australia Holdings Pty Ltd. ASIC
confirms that Canva Australia Holdings Pty Ltd lodged its FY25
reports on April 30, 2026.

CLICK FRENZY: Leibovich Brothers Plan to Revive Failed Company
--------------------------------------------------------------
StartUp Daily reports that pioneering e-commerce founders Gabby and
Hezi Leibovich have swooped on Click Frenzy, acquiring the domain
and customer database for an undisclosed amount just a few weeks
after the online retailer was placed in administration.
According to StartUp Daily, the deal marks the return of the
brothers and business partners of Catch.com.au to online retailing
following a couple of torrid years in the sector.
Click Frenzy, a retailer marketplace founded by Grant Arnott in
2012, reshaped online shopping over a decade as leading retailers
signed on for high-profile sales events. The platform predated
Amazon's Black Friday sales in Australia by six years.
The business, along with media sibling Power Retail, was placed in
liquidation in March, with the US/Iran war destroying revenue for a
travel sales event in the preceding weeks, StartUp Daily notes. The
combined business generated around $7 million in revenue annually.
A devastated Mr. Arnott said on LinkedIn that it was "the saddest
thing I've ever had to do"." and "he was "shattered, broken,
ashamed and embarrassed . . . the hardest part to live with is that
it was all so unnecessary."
But as SmartCompany reported, he received widespread support from
the startup community.
Now it's up to the brothers Leibovich to see if they still have the
magic touch once again, two decades on, with a much-loved brand,
StartUp Daily says.
"We're back in the game. Click Frenzy has always been a powerful
brand with strong consumer recognition. With a database of 1.5
million engaged shoppers and a substantial SMS audience, we see an
opportunity to build something fresh, fast and highly relevant for
today's market," StartUp Daily quotes Gabby Leibovich as saying.
Their strategy centres on a lean operating model, rapid execution,
and a renewed focus on exclusive offers to Australian consumers by
Australian retailers and brands.
"We have enormous respect for what's been built," said Hezi
Leibovich.
"Our focus now is to take that foundation and evolve it into
something that is new, exciting and valuable for both retailers and
customers."
They plan to have Click Frenzy up and running again within a month
with details on the relaunch, including retailer partnerships and
platform features, in the coming weeks, StartUp Daily adds.
Frank Lo Pilato and Adam Cormack of RSM Australia were appointed
liquidators of Click Frenzy on March 30, 2026.

back the placement shares from participating creditors and
prompting work with advisers on structures and repayment options.

Crisil Ratings has been consistently following up with Diamondstar
for obtaining information through letter and email dated March 23,
2026 among others, apart from telephonic communication. However,
the issuer has remained non cooperative.
'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should
exercise due caution with reference to the rating assigned/reviewed
with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' as the rating is arrived
at without any management interaction and is based on best
available or limited or dated information on the company. Such non
co-operation by a rated entity may be a result of deterioration in
its credit risk profile. These ratings with 'ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.'
Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, Crisil
Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of Diamondstar, which restricts
Crisil Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the
entity's credit quality. Crisil Ratings believes that rating action
on Diamondstar is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy
Risk'. Based on the last available information, the rating on bank
facilities of Diamondstar continues to be 'Crisil D Issuer not

COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.'
Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, Crisil
Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of Sayona, which restricts Crisil
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. Crisil Ratings believes that rating action on
Sayona is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'.
Based on the last available information, the ratings on bank
facilities of Sayona continues to be 'Crisil D/Crisil D Issuer not
cooperating'.
Established in 2004 in Ahmedabad as a proprietorship concern
(Sencient India) by Mr. Paresh Patel (key promoter and managing
director) and reconstituted as a private limited company (Sencient
India Export Pvt Ltd) in 2007, Sayona manufactures synthetic food
colours. Name was changed to the current one in 2009.

NISSAN MOTOR: To Cut 900 Jobs in Europe Amid Restructuring
----------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Nissan Motor will cut about 900 jobs in
Europe, around 10% of the total, and consolidate production from
two lines to one at its Sunderland plant in the UK as part of a
global restructuring drive, the Japanese automaker said on May 5.
Reuters relates that the job cuts will focus on white-collar and
warehouse roles, a Nissan Europe spokesperson said, adding that the
company's current European headcount stands at about 9,300.
According to Reuters, the company's sweeping turnaround plan,
launched last year under Chief Executive Ivan Espinosa, aims to
restore profitability after heavy losses, reduce Nissan's global
manufacturing footprint and cut its total workforce by 15%.
"We have been taking decisive actions to enhance performance and
create a leaner, more resilient business that adapts quickly to
market changes," Nissan said in a statement.
In addition to the layoffs, the Nissan Europe spokesperson said the
carmaker, Japan's fourth largest, was looking at other moves in
Europe, including shifting to a distribution model managed by
importer partners in Nordic markets, Reuters relays.
"The proposals in the consultation include a headcount reduction
across Europe of 900 jobs, the partial closure of our warehouse in
Barcelona, and in the Nordics market we are going to change the
distribution model," the spokesperson said.
"We are also consolidating production in Sunderland plant from two
lines to one line, because we are looking for opportunities with
our parties to maximize our plant utilization."
A Nissan Spain spokesperson said around 500 people in Spain work in
the areas targeted by the layoffs, but added that the final figure
will be negotiated with unions in the coming weeks and would likely
be lower than that, according to Reuters.
"This is a new disappointment by Nissan for which again the only
solution that it seeks to adapt to a situation is to fire
workers," Reuters quotes Miguel Ruiz, leader of Spanish Nissan
union USOC, as saying. It was too early to know final job loss
numbers, he added.
In 2020, Nissan shut its main factories in Barcelona affecting
around 3,000 jobs, recalls Reuters.
A spokesperson for Nissan Manufacturing UK confirmed that the
focus was white-collar roles and said that there would be no
production job losses at the Sunderland plant.
The Financial Times first reported the job cut plans, Reuters
notes.
Reuters adds that Nissan is expected to update on the progress of
its restructuring plan when it reports full-year financial
results later this month, and has said it will announce further
elements of its strategic direction later in the year.
About Nissan Motor
Japan-based Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. manufactures and distributes
automobiles and related parts. The Company produces luxury cars,
sports cars, commercial vehicles, and more. Nissan Motor markets
its products worldwide.
Fitch Ratings, on April 15, 2026, affirmed Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.'s
Long-Term Foreign- and Local-Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs)
at 'BB'. The Outlook remains Negative. Fitch has also affirmed
Nissan's senior unsecured rating at 'BB' and its Short-Term
Foreign- and Local-Currency IDRs at 'B'.
S&P Global Ratings, in November 2025, lowered its long-term ratings
on Nissan Motor and its overseas subsidiaries to 'BB-' from 'BB'
and affirmed its short-term ratings at 'B'. The negative outlook
reflects S&P's view that prolonged weak profitability and negative
FOCF may further deteriorate the company's creditworthiness.
Moody's Ratings, in February 2025, also downgraded to Ba1 from Baa3
the senior unsecured rating for Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. At the same
time, Moody's have assigned a Ba1 corporate family rating and
withdrawn the company's Baa3 issuer rating. Moody's have also
maintained the negative rating outlook.

1MDB: Anti-Graft Agency Vows to Recover More High-Value Art
-----------------------------------------------------------
Reuters reports that Malaysia's anti-graft agency vowed on May 6 to
recover more high-value artwork linked to the multibillion-dollar
1MDB scandal after putting four recently retrieved works on display
at its headquarters.
Reuters relates that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission
(MACC) successfully repatriated four pieces of artwork last month,
including a 1961 Pablo Picasso print, as part of ongoing efforts to
recover more than $4.5 billion siphoned from the 1Malaysia
Development Berhad state fund between 2009 and 2014 in a complex,
globe-spanning scheme.
U.S. investigators have said the funds, allegedly
misappropriated by high-level 1MDB officials and their associates,
were used to buy everything from luxury hotels to jewelry and
artwork.
According to Reuters, MACC chief Azam Baki said the four
repatriated artworks were being temporarily housed at the
commission's headquarters, with Malaysia's National Art Gallery
helping to ensure they are kept under proper care and temperature
controls.
"These artworks are not merely of commercial value, but also stand
as historical symbols of the country's largest corruption
scandal," Reuters quotes Azam as saying at press conference on May
6.
The four works were valued at around $198,000, MACC said, and
include Picasso's "L'Ecuyère et les clowns" (1961), Joan Miró's
"Composition" (1953), Maurice Utrillo's "Maison de Rendez-vous de
chasse de Henri IV, Rue St. Vincent, Montmartre" (1934) and
Balthus' "Étude pour femme couchée" (1948), Reuters relays.
Authorities have said the artworks may go on public display at
Malaysia's national art gallery and could then be auctioned for
sale. The final decision will be made by the finance ministry.
A total of 12 pieces of artwork linked to 1MDB have been
identified, with eight yet to be recovered, Azam said.
To date, Malaysia has recovered about MYR31.3 billion (US$7.9
billion) in assets, representing nearly 75% of all identified
properties linked to 1MDB, he said.
About 1MDB
Kuala Lumpur-based 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) is an insolvent
Malaysian strategic development company, wholly owned by the
Malaysian Minister of Finance. 1MDB was established in 2009 to
foster long-term economic development for the country by forging
global partnerships, particularly in energy, real estate, tourism,
and agribusiness.
The Company was founded shortly after Dato Sri Najib Razak became
Prime Minister of Malaysia in July 2009. Najib said the
establishment of 1MDB into a federal entity was to benefit a
majority of Malaysians.
1MDB is said to have raised billions of dollars in bonds, for
investment projects and joint ventures, between 2009 and 2013.
Among those projects are the Tun Razak Exchange, Tun Razak
Exchange's sister project Bandar Malaysia, and the acquisition of
three independent power producers.
The Company came into heavy scrutiny in 2015 for suspicious money
transactions and evidence pointing to money laundering, fraud and
theft. The corruption scandal in 1MDB has implicated high-level
officials, including Prime Minister Najib Razak, as wells as banks
and financial institutions around the world.
In 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit, alleging
that at least US$3.5 billion has been stolen from 1MDB. In
September 2020, the alleged amount stolen had been raised to US$4.5
billion and a Malaysian government report listed 1MDB's outstanding
debts to be US$7.8 billion.
In July 2020, the High Court convicted former Prime Najib Razak on
all seven counts of abuse of power, money laundering and criminal
breach of trust and was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment and
fined MYR210 million.
Malaysia has been filing lawsuits over the years in an effort to
recover the missing billions of dollars. Among others, in May
2021, Malaysia filed 22 civil suits against entities and people
involved in the corruption scandal, including units of Deutsche
Bank and JP Morgan.
Malaysia said in September 2020 it has so far recovered about
US$3.24 billion in assets linked to the 1MDB matter. This amount
includes about US$600 million cash and assets returned by U.S.
authorities; about US$2.5 billion paid by Goldman Sachs as
settlement; as well as $780 million in settlement amounts from
Malaysian banking group AmBank and audit firm Deloitte.
HANDAL ENERGY: Faces Trading Suspension Over Delay in Annual Report
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Malaysian Reserve reports that Handal Energy Bhd is facing a
potential suspension of trading in its securities after failing to
submit its annual report for the financial year ended Dec. 31, 2025
(FY25) within the stipulated deadline.
In a filing on May 5, Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd said the
company did not release its Annual Report 2025, which includes
audited financial statements, as well as auditors' and directors'
reports, by April 30, 2026, as required under the Main Market
Listing Requirements, The Malaysian Reserve relates.
Under the rules, listed issuers that fail to issue their
outstanding financial statements within five market days after the
deadline may face trading suspension.
For Handal, this means it must submit the report by May 8, 2026, to
avoid suspension.
If the company misses this extended deadline, trading in its shares
will be suspended from 9:00 a.m. on Monday, May 11, 2026, until
further notice, according to The Malaysian Reserve.
The Malaysian Reserve adds that Bursa also warned that failure to
issue the outstanding financial statements within six months from
the original deadline could result in the commencement of delisting
procedures against the company.
Handal Energy Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding
company. The Company's business operations include ram luffing
cranes, rope luffing cranes, crane rentals, lifting solutions,
parts and component supply, manufacturing, and digitalization.

HOMEPLUS CO: Union Forgoes Wages to Save Struggling Retailer
------------------------------------------------------------
The Chosun Daily reports that the Homeplus General Union announced
on April 30 that more than 1,400 of its members would forgo their
monthly wages. On the same day, Seoul Rehabilitation Court decided
to extend the deadline for approving Homeplus' rehabilitation plan
by two more months, originally set for May 4.
The Chosun Daily relates that with the company now having two
additional months to prepare its rehabilitation plan, the union has
declared its willingness to sacrifice wages—the fruits of
labor—to support the process.
In a statement released that day, the union said, "To ensure the
sustainability of Homeplus, we are forgoing our wages, the fruits
of our labor, and urge that the funds be fully allocated to
normalizing operations and supplying goods. This is the most
painful sacrifice workers can make to save the company," The Chosun
Daily relays.
The Homeplus General Union is a symbolic entity in South Korea's
retail industry. Established in 1997 as the Carrefour Korea Union,
it will mark its 30th anniversary next year. It was the first union
established among the country's three major supermarket chains -
E-Mart, Lotte Mart, and Homeplus - and was once considered a
militant union.
About Homeplus Co
Homeplus Co. operates discount store chain in South Korea. It
currently operates 126 stores nationwide.
Homeplus entered court-led rehabilitation process on March 4, 2025,
after a Seoul court approved the request by MBK Partners, the
private equity fund that owns the discount store chain.
The decision came after Korea Investors Service and Korea Ratings
Inc. downgraded the company's rating, citing the company's lack of
efforts to improve its financial health.
