Haydale puts US unit into bankruptcy, seeks to sell and focus on UK graphene-related business

As part of the process, Haydale said it planned to sell HCT’s assets through a court-supervised public auction, as it said it saw that as the best route to maximize asset value and recover cash for the parent company, which has a £12.8 million intercompany debtor balance tied to its US operations. While several third-party firms had expressed interest in acquiring HCT’s assets, there was no guarantee of financial recovery.
