Looks like they've gotten a little ahead of themselves with the debt load financing the expansion, especially with the non-aviation related acquisitions. They're now trying to fix that. It doesn't appear to affect operations at the various group airlines though.
I would be more worried though about the fact that your employer now refuses to issue the required license verification paperwork to join any Chinese carrier. Makes it pretty much impossible for EK pilots seeking employment here...
