Press Announcement

 

HONG KONG, June 12, 2003 — Ek Chor China Motorcycle Co. Ltd. (“Ek Chor China” or the “Company”; NYSE: EKC) announced today that the Company’s proposed going-private transaction, pursuant to which the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of C.P. Pokphand Co. Ltd. by way of a scheme of arrangement under Bermuda law, was approved by holders of shares that are subject to the scheme at a meeting convened at the direction of the Supreme Court of Bermuda. In addition, the resolution necessary to implement the scheme of arrangement was approved at a special general meeting of shareholders today.

 

Under the terms of the scheme of arrangement, upon the scheme of arrangement taking effect, holders of the approximately 31.8% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock not currently owned by C.P. Pokphand Co. Ltd. will receive US$3.75 in cash for each share of common stock of the Company they hold. Shareholders other than C.P. Pokphand Co. Ltd., as appearing in the Company’s register of members at 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the entitlement date will be entitled to the consideration. The Company currently expects that the entitlement date will be June 20, 2003.

 

For the scheme of arrangement to take effect, it must be sanctioned by the Supreme Court of Bermuda. Once the scheme of arrangement takes effect, its terms will be binding on all shareholders subject to the scheme. The Company intends to have its shares delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after the scheme of arrangement takes effect.
