Chinese property developer Country Garden said on Friday it would sell an 11.063% stake in LandSpace Technology Co for 1.31 billion yuan ($179.76 million).

The disposal is part of the embattled property developer’s effort to resolve its liquidity issues.

The company said it expects to record a cumulative pre-tax profit of 370 million yuan.

Earlier this month, Country Garden reached an agreement with a key bondholder group and was close to finalising negotiations with a group of bank creditors.

Country Garden has been an investor in LandSpace since 2019. LandSpace is engaged in the research and development of liquid oxygen-methane carrier rockets.
