VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Reference is made to the announcement of China Fortune Financial Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) dated 21 December 2011 in respect of the acquisition of 35% equity interest in a finance lease company in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’).
On 11 July 2012, 融通融資租賃(上海)有限公司 (**Rongtong Finance Lease (Shanghai) Company Limited) (‘‘Rongtong’’) and 中國建設銀行股份有限公司上海市分行 (**China Construction Bank Corporation, the Shanghai Branch) (‘‘CCB’’) entered into a Bank and Enterprise Co-operation Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’) pursuant to which CCB has undertaken to grant banking facilities of up to an indicative amount of RMB500 million to Rongtong for an initial period of 3 years from the date of the Agreement (the ‘‘Banking Facilities’’). The term of the Agreement can be extended upon expiry. The Banking Facilities will comprise financial services such as the working capital loans, medium to long term loans, factoring services, notes discounting business and multicurrency loans. Terms and conditions of each of the financing transactions to be effected under the Agreement are subject to mutual agreement between Rongtong and CCB from time to time. It is the intention of Rongtong to utilise the Banking Facilities for expansion and business development purposes.
As bank lending in the PRC is not able to satisfy the increasing financing requirements of small and medium enterprises in the PRC, there has been significant development in alternative financing markets that are complementary to traditional bank lending in the PRC. It has led to the development of a more diversified domestic financing market platform, which has resulted in favourable market opportunities for the further development of the finance leasing industry in the PRC. The directors of the Company consider that, with the additional financial support by CCB pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Rongtong is wellpositioned to capture business opportunities emerging from the great demand for finance leasing and related services in the PRC.
