SHENZHEN, CHINA - April 16, 2012 - China GrenTech Corporation
Limited (NASDAQ: GRRF, "GrenTech," or the "Company"), a
leading China-based provider of radio frequency and wireless
coverage products and services, announced today that, at an
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held today (the
"EGM"), the Company's shareholders voted in favor of the
proposal to approve the previously announced amended and
restated agreement and plan of merger dated January 20, 2012,
among Talenthome Management Limited ("Parent"), a British
Virgin Islands exempted company, Xing Sheng Corporation
Limited ("Merger Sub"), a Cayman Islands exempted company
wholly-owned by Parent, and the Company (the "Merger
Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and
into the Company, with the Company continuing as the
surviving company and wholly-owned by Parent.
Approximately
81.6% of the Company's total outstanding ordinary shares
voted in person or by proxy at the
EGM. Of the ordinary shares voted in person or by proxy at
the EGM, approximately 95.1% were voted in favor of the
proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the merger,
and approximately 95.1% were voted in favor of the proposal
to authorize the directors of the Company to do all things
necessary to give effect to the Merger Agreement.
The parties expect to complete the merger as soon as
practicable, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the
conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. If completed,
the merger would result in the Company becoming a privately
held company wholly-owned by Parent and the Company's
American depositary shares would no longer be listed on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market.
