MONTREAL, Sept. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via OTC PR WIRE — Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. (OTC PINK: WUHN) (the “Company”), a Nevada investment company focused on the industrial technology market space, announced today that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved a plan to pursue a spin-off of the Company’s Canadian tech related business, Strategic Development of Technology (SDT), Inc, to Company shareholders. The separation is planned as a tax-free spin-off transaction to the Company’s shareholders and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018.
The transaction is expected to result in two separate public companies that will benefit from leading positions in their respective industries. As of the Record Date (cut-off date), the Company shareholders will be eligible to receive SDT common stock shares. The transaction is intended to take the form of a tax-free distribution to Company shareholders. The expected stock distribution ratio will be confirmed in the comings weeks.
Ramy Kamaneh, CEO said: “We believe that establishing SDT as a stand-alone, fully reporting public company will allow for us to align more closely with our strategic initiatives. It will also give the investment community clearer insight into the potential value our businesses can continue to create. As a Canadian company, this is a compelling opportunity to reach investors in the U.S. and in Canada by trading on both the OTCQB and CSE stock exchange markets.”
The Company anticipates that the spin-off will enhance the growth potential and overall valuation of its businesses as a result of creating two separate companies specialized in fast-growing industries. With the added advantage of access to both Canada and U.S. market, the Company is confident it will better serve shareholders. It will also allow each company to be more focused and competitive in their respective industries. This announcement will also serve to enable SDT to execute even better on their strategy and drive their vision of a sustainable and equitable industrial technology market. Once the separation completed, Wuhan General Group (China), Inc will file its 3 years of audited financials to become a fully reporting company as well as up listing to OTCQB, and apply for name and ticker symbol change.
Additional Details
The Record date and completion of the transaction is subject to certain usual conditions, including SEC, Legal and shareholder approvals. The Company currently anticipates the Distribution Date to be in December 2018. Dates are subject to change. The Company will release information in the coming weeks with definitive dates and further information.
