Specific Mandate

The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued under the Specific Mandate to be sought from the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

Application for listing

Application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares.

By entering into the Subscription Agreement, the Group can raise fund for general working capital purposes and further strengthening its financial position within a relatively shorter time frame and without any additional interest burden.

As announced by the Company on 2 March 2017, during the transition period before the completion, such 40.0% of the investment capital of PRC LLP shall be managed by Nongtou. As such, by virtue of Nongtou's control over PRC LLP, Nongtou has become the indirect controlling shareholder of the Company. Nongtou is controlled by 吉林省人民政府國有資產監督管理委員會 (State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People's Government of Jilin Province*) ("Jilin SASAC").
