Slide #77. China Auto Logistics Inc. — Tianjin Automall
Acquirer:
China Auto Logistics Inc. (CALI)
Acquiree:
Tianjin Automall
Details:
In line with the Company's strategy to expand its higher margin auto-related services businesses, discussions and due diligence have continued with respect to the non-binding Letter of Intent signed in May to acquire and operate the Airport International Automall in Tianjin. The Company reported it made a refundable deposit of $16,122,531 U.S. dollars (RMB 100 million) on the acquisition in June. In the event the acquisition is completed, it anticipates a purchase price of between $65 million (USD) and $130 million (USD) for the Airport International Automall and the land use rights on which it is situated. Additionally, the Company believes it has the informal backing of banks with which it has engaged in discussions regarding mortgage financing to acquire the automall. It believes this financing could be coupled with cash from the Company's operating cash flow and/or installment payments to the seller which would not entail any dilution of the Company's equity to complete the acquisition.
