Yintech to Form Joint Venture with SINA
SHANGHAI, CHINA, July 7, 2017 — Yintech Investment Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: YIN) (“Yintech” or the “Company”), a leading provider of investment and trading services for individual customers in China, today announced that it has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) to form a financial software, information and services joint venture with SINA Corporation (NASDAQ: SINA) (“SINA”), a leading online media company serving China and the global Chinese communities.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Yintech and SINA will take a 51.0% and 49.0% equity stake, respectively, in SINA Caidao (Shanghai) Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“SINA Caidao”) after completing a series of reorganization and capital increases, through which SINA Caidao’s paid-in capital will be enlarged to RMB200.0 million. SINA Caidao will focus on providing financial software, information and services to individual investors seeking investments in securities, wealth management, futures and gold products. The reorganization and capital increase is expected to complete in the third quarter of 2017. SINA Caidao is expected to begin generating revenue in the fourth quarter of 2017.
“Our joint venture with SINA is another step in our strategy to become a provider of diversified investment and trading services to individuals in China,” commented Mr. Wenbin Chen, Chairman and CEO of Yintech. “As we expand our service offerings, we particularly value the experience and highly successful businesses SINA has incubated as well as their extensive online media and social networking resources. Leveraging these resources and combining them with our deep understanding of, and extensive experience in serving Chinese individual investors, we are confident that our joint venture will have the support needed to rapidly grow into a market leader.”
