TORONTO, July 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Changfeng Energy Inc., (TSXV:CFY) (“Changfeng” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), an energy service provider in China, is pleased to provide the following update:
HK IPO on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
The Company has been pursuing its plans to undertake a public offering (the “HK IPO”) of common shares together with the listing of its common shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange”). Since late 2017, as previously disclosed, the Group has successfully procured several new projects that are currently either under development or at the initial stage of operation, whose contributions will only be reflected in the Company’s financial results as those projects become fully operational. Consequently, management of Changfeng has determined to reschedule its pursuit of the HK IPO for completion during the first half of 2019, which would permit it to advance these new projects and enable their results to be reflected in its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018, thereby providing the opportunity to incorporate those results in the HK IPO process and potentially enhance the Company’s valuation.
With GF Capital (Hong Kong) Limited (“GF Capital”), the sponsor previously appointed by the Company for the HK IPO, unable to allocate sufficient resources as sponsor to assist the Company under the new schedule for the HK IPO, the Company has appointed Altus Capital Limited (“Altus Capital”) as sponsor in place of GF Capital. Nevertheless, GF Capital will continue to support the HK IPO plan as financial adviser to the Company. In addition, the Company also plans to appoint GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage Limited, an affiliated company of GF Capital, as the global coordinator, book runner and lead manager of the HK IPO.
Established in 2000, Altus Capital is the financial, corporate and compliance advisory arm of Altus Holdings Limited, a company listed on GEM of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Altus Capital is licensed under the Securities and Futures Ordinance in Hong Kong to carry out Type 4 (advising on securities), Type 6 (advising on corporate finance) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities and it has successfully sponsored companies with operations in various jurisdictions across different industries for listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
