REPURCHASE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES
The Company has today repurchased, under the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes, all of the outstanding Convertible Notes in the principal amount of HK$189,100,000 at a price of HK$187,209,000, representing a discount of 1% on the principal amount of the Repurchased Notes. The holders of the Repurchased Notes also agreed that the accrued interests of the Repurchased Notes in the amount of approximately HK$1,233,000 calculated up to the date of repurchase of the Repurchased Notes be waived.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Beijing Yu Sheng Tang Pharmaceutical Group Limited (the “Company”) announces that the Company has today repurchased, under the terms and conditions of the convertible notes issued by the Company on 28 January 2010 (the “Convertible Notes”), all of the outstanding Convertible Notes in the principal amount of HK$189,100,000 (the “Repurchased Notes”) at a price of HK$187,209,000, representing a discount of 1 % on the principal amount of the Repurchased Notes. The holders of the Repurchased Notes also agreed that the accrued interests of the Repurchased Notes in the amount of approximately HK$1,233,000 calculated up to the date of repurchase of the Repurchased Notes be waived. The Repurchased Notes, if they had remained outstanding, would have entitled the holders to convert the Repurchased Notes, at the conversion price of HK$0.62 per share, into 305,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.01 each in the capital of the Company, representing approximately 7.41% and 6.90% respectively of the existing issued share capital of the Company and the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by such conversions, and, if not converted, would have fallen due for repayment upon maturity on 27 January 2013 and is interest-bearing at 1% per annum.
The repurchase of the Repurchased Notes has been made by the Company from internal resources. In view of the repurchase of the Repurchased Notes at an 1% discount on the principal amount of such notes, the waiving of the accrued interests on the Repurchased Notes and the cancellation of the Repurchased Notes can alleviate interest expenses of the Company, the Board is of the view that it is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole to repurchase the Repurchased Notes before their maturity dates.
