("Asian Citrus" or "the Group")
Memorandum of Understanding
Asian Citrus, the largest orange plantation owner and the single largest orange
producer in China, announces that it has entered into an Memorandum of
Understanding with Guangxi Lixin State Owned Farm in relation to the Proposed
Acquisition of a citrus fruit plantation located in Fuchuan County in the
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the PRC. The Vendor is considered to be one
of the largest owners and operators of citrus fruit plantations in the PRC and
the Proposed Acquisition is in line with the business strategy and activities of
Asian Citrus.
The plantation consists of approximately 1.1 million citrus fruit trees and
ancillary facilities and occupies a land area of approximately 10,000 mu
(approximately 6.67 sq.km). The plantation is currently in operation and would
therefore provide Asian Citrus with immediate revenue and profit.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding, the Vendor has agreed that it will not
negotiate with any third party for the sale and transfer of the plantation up to
31 January 2011.
The Board wishes to emphasize that no legally binding agreement in relation to
the Proposed Acquisition has been entered into as at the date of the
announcement. The final terms of the Formal Agreement (if any), including but
not limited to the consideration, in relation to the Proposed Acquisition, have
yet to be determined and finalised. As the Proposed Acquisition may or may not
proceed, public investors and the shareholders of the Company are urged to
exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
