Mr. Zhu Gen Rong, Chairman of Huazhang, said, “In view of the Target Companies having the patents and know-how in production of the headbox, we consider that, by acquiring the Equity Interest, the Group will have synergy between our existing products and headbox. In the meantime, the acquisition of the Equity Interest would be able to diversify the Group’s products and lead the Group to own one of the core technologies of paper making production equipment. It benefits our export business which is in line with the national strategy ‘A Belt, A Road’.”
