HONG KONG, Nov 3, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI or the Company: 00317.HK/600685.SH), an eligible stock in the new Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program that establishes mutual stock market access between Mainland China and Hong Kong, today announces plan to acquire CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding Company. ("Huangpu Wenchong"), and related shipbuilding assets held by Yangzhou Kejin. As the only overseas capital operations platform of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), GSI will become the first military industry-related company with dual-listing status in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Trading of GSI shares will resume on November 3rd on Hong Kong and Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Huangpu Wenchong is CSSC's primary base for defense ships, special engineering vessels and ocean engineering equipment in southern China, as well as the very leading manufacturing hub for dredging engineering vessels and feeder container ships. According to the restructuring proposal, GSI will purchase the entire issued share capital of Huangpu Wenchong at a consideration of RMB 4.527 billion, 85% of which will be paid by means of share issuance, and 15% by means of cash payment.

CSSC, the parent company of GSI, will see its shareholding in GSI rise to 57.25% upon completion of the restructuring plan.
Inspired by China's new SOE reform paradigm that encourages a more diversified ownership structure, GSI's restructuring plan heralds an era of thorough synergy between public, private and global investments across PRC-Hong Kong stock markets. A new GSI is emerging not only as a stronger industry leader with a more diversified product mix and integrated regional resource base, but also a flagship for the ongoing securitization of stock assets of China State Shipbuilding Corporation.
Management of GSI said, "CSSC's solid support makes it possible for GSI to continuously consolidate industry resources through strategic M&A actions. We are committed to fully leveraging on China's new policy for military industry assets securitization, and raising our defense and ocean engineering equipment capabilities. We believe the across-the-board development in defense, civil and ocean engineering segments will build a solid foundation for strengthening our competitiveness and profit-making capacities."
