INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13E-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (a) China GrenTech Corporation Limited, a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), the issuer of the registered ordinary shares, par value $0.00002 per share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”), including the Shares represented by the American depositary shares (“ADSs”), each representing 25 Shares, that is subject to the transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act; (b) Talenthome Management Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation (“Parent”); (c) Xing Sheng Corporation Limited, a Cayman Islands company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); (d) Guoren Industrial Developments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company; (e) Heng Xing Yue Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company; (f) Well Sino Enterprises Limited, a British Virgin Islands company; (g) Leakey Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company; (h) Mr. Yingjie Gao, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company; (i) Ms. Rong Yu, a director and the chief financial officer of the Company and (j) Ms. Yin Huang (the above individuals, together with Parent, Merger Sub, Guoren Industrial Developments Limited, Heng Xing Yue Investments Limited, Well Sino Enterprises Limited and Leakey Investments Limited, are collectively referred to herein as the “Buyer Group”).

On January 12, 2012, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, which was subsequently amended and restated by the amended and restated agreement and plan of merger by and among the same parties, dated as of January 20, 2012 (the “merger agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving company after the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are beneficially owned by Mr. Yingjie Gao, Ms. Rong Yu and Ms. Yin Huang.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding Share, other than (a) any Shares and ADSs beneficially owned by the Buyer Group (the “Rollover Shares”), (b) any Shares held by the ADS depositary which are not represented by ADSs and (c) any Shares and ADSs beneficially owned by shareholders who have validly exercised and have not effectively withdrawn or lost their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Law Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) (the “Cayman Islands Companies Law”) (the “Dissenting Shares,” together with the Rollover Shares and the Shares described in clause (b), the “Excluded Shares”), will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $0.126 and each ADS, each representing 25 Shares, will represent the right to receive $3.15 (less $0.05 per ADS cancellation fee pursuant to the terms of the deposit agreement), in each case, in cash without interest and net of any applicable withholding taxes. The Rollover Shares and Shares held by the ADS depositary which are not represented by ADSs will be cancelled for no consideration. The Dissenting Shares will be cancelled for their appraised or other agreed value as described in more detail below.

The merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the shareholders of the Company. The merger agreement must be approved by an affirmative vote of shareholders representing two-thirds or more of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy as a single class at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

The Company will make available to its shareholders a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement,” a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)-(1) to this Transaction Statement), relating to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company, at which the shareholders of the Company will consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.
