China New Town's controlling shareholder under custody

SINGAPORE (June 10): China New Town Development Company ( Financial Dashboard) has revealed that controlling shareholder Shi Jian has been placed under custody in a designated residence by the Changzhou Procuratorate.

When queried, the Procuratorate was also unable to disclose the reasons behind Shi’s custody as the investigation was at an early stage.

A comprehensive internal checking by the company after receiving the news found that all its businesses, subsidiaries and assets are operating and performing as usual; none of the assets of the company has been frozen or seized and that no event of default under the existing facilities of the group has been triggered.

In addition, no other member of the group has been hauled up by the Chinese authority to assist in the relevant investigations.

While Shi is an executive director of the company, he is not involved in its daily operations.

Nevertheless, China New Town’s board has appointed non-executive director Li Yao Min to temporarily assume Shi’s responsibilities.

The counter was trading at 8.9 cents before a trading halt was called.

I reckon the Pandora box has just opened, and more will come. I have no insight on the case, but the risk is always there, without more visibility.

China New Town suspends vice-chairman Shi Jian over sister company's probe

SINGAPORE (Sept 25): China New Town Development Co ( Valuation: 0.90, Fundamental: 1.25) has suspended vice-chairman and executive director Shi Jian as sister company SRE Group investigates certain alleged unauthorised transactions carried out by Shi.

Hong Kong-listed SRE Group said on Thursday that Shi had, without the knowledge of SRE Group's other directors, undertaken certain agreements with third-party financial institutions that required SRE Group to guarantee the repayment obligations of certain subsidiaries of China New Town Development.

Most of those subsidiaries were sold to SRE Investment Holding, a substantial shareholder of China New Town Development and a 51.01% shareholder of SRE. Shi is the controlling shareholder of SRE Investment.

SRE Investment in March delayed its payment to China New Town Development for the assets, although Shi had provided a guarantee for the punctual payment of that consideration.

China New Town Development last traded at 5.7 cents on Wednesday.
