North Asia Strategic Holdings Limited (8080) will probably finance the acquisition in the future by way of share issue and look forward to migrate to the Main Board, said CEO and Executive Director Chow Sing-nam.
The company said the resolution has been passed in the special shareholders' meeting to acquire 70% interests in Best Quality Limited, a computer and knitting machine distribution company, at the cash consideration of $510 million. Chow said the consideration was originally planned to be satisfied by the issue of preferential shares. However, as there is discrepancy between the confirmation time and completion time of the acquisition, the consideration was satisfied by the proceeds from bridging loan, which will be repaid upon the confirmation of preferential share issue. The acquisition of Best Quality is expected to complete in the mid October.
Chow added that the company will be seeking investments in various fields like consumption sector, technical, media and telecommunication sectors besides those with industrial nature. There is, however, no concrete target currently but the attention will be focused on those profitable located in Japan, South Korea and PRC and with yearly turnover of US$100-500 million.
17 Oct 2005 11:10 North Asia Strategic Holdings Limited (8080) announced to extend the date of completion of the acquisition of 70% interest in Best Quality Limited (BQL) from 15 October to 31 October. Trading in the company's shares will remain suspended until further notice.
