        中国最大民营造船企业之一的扬子江船业（控股）有限公司（Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd.）与三福船舶控股集团（Sanfu Shipbuilding Holdings）签订了一份买卖协议，购买江苏扬子鑫福船舶有限公司（Jiangsu Yangzi Xinfu Shipbuilding Co., Ltd）剩余20%股权。

 

        据悉，鑫福船厂（Xinfu Yard）的股权收购费用总价为6.5亿元人民币（约1.003亿美元），全部资金将由集团的1亿股库藏股承担。

 

        作为该集团主要船厂之一，鑫福船厂从事造船、大型钢制结构的生产和加工业务。鑫福船厂拥有集团旗下船厂中最大的船坞设施，可建造中大型船舶，这对集团未来建造大型船舶的发展计划起着至关重要的作用。

 

        交易达成之前，扬子江船业有限公司和该集团的全资子公司江苏新扬子造船有限公司（Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd）分别拥有鑫福船厂已发行股本的12.5%和67.5%。

 

        交易完成后，鑫福船厂将完全成为该集团的全资子公司。

 

        该交易将为集团带来增值收益，这也是扬子江船业有限公司努力促进股东长期价值中的一部分。

 

        扬子江船业集团执行主席兼首席执行官任乐天就拟议的交易发表评论，他说："自2007年成立以来，鑫福船厂不断发展壮大，并在造船业树立了出色的业绩记录。而对扬子江船业关键业务部门之一和我们现有主要船厂而言，我公司进一步收购该船厂都意味着这是一次巨大的投资。"

Yangzijiang buys stake in Xinfu Yard

 

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd., one of the largest private shipbuilders in China, has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Sanfu Shipbuilding Holdings for the purchase of the remaining 20% equity stake in Jiangsu Yangzi Xinfu Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.

 

As informed, the stake in Xinfu Yard will be purchased for an aggregate consideration of RMB 650 million ($100.3 million), to be fully funded by 100 million treasury shares of the group.

 

Xinfu is involved in the business of shipbuilding, production and processing of large-scale steel structures and operates as one of the group’s major shipyards. Equipped with the largest dock facility amongst the group’s shipyards, the Xinfu Yard builds mid to large-sized vessels and is pivotal to the group’s future growth plans to build large vessels.

 

Prior to the transaction, Yangzijiang and the group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd owned 12.5% and 67.5% respectively of the issued share capital of Xinfu Yard.

 

Post-transaction, Xinfu Yard will become a fully owned subsidiary of the group.

 

The transaction is expected to be earnings accretive for the group and is part of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding’s efforts to enhance long-term shareholder value.

 

“Since its incorporation in 2007, the Xinfu Yard has grown from strength to strength and established a strong track record in shipbuilding. The further acquisition signifies a huge investment in one of Yangzijiang’s key business units and in our existing major shipyard,” Ren Letian, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Group, commented on the proposed transaction.
