Shares in Centro Properties Group, which is facing a Wednesday deadline to refinance heavy debts, were placed on a trading halt ahead of an announcement from the group.
Centro,which owns 700 US shopping malls, borrowed heavily last year to fund a rapid expansion and is under pressure to sell assets to raise cash. The stock has dropped as low as $0.23 after trading above $10 in May 2007.
Centro's main local bankers are ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank and St. George Bank.
It also has US bank creditors including JP Morgan and Bank of America.
