Realisation of Project Auspice
Pacific Alliance China Land Limited ("PACL") (AIM: PACL), the
closed-end investment company admitted to trading on AIM, is
pleased to announce that it has realized its entire interest in
Project Auspice. The investee (Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties
Co., Ltd., or "Wanda"), is one of China's largest property
developers focusing on integrated mixed-use development and
operation management of commercial properties throughout the
PRC.
In 2009, PACL invested RMB 153 million (approximately equal to
USD 22.4 million at the time) to purchase an indirect interest in
shares of Wanda held through a PRC joint venture company (the "PRC
JV"). Today, PACL realized its entire interest in the investment
through the PRC JV's sale of all Wanda shares indirectly owned by
PACL to a third party for corresponding gross cash proceeds of RMB
816.7 million (approximately equal to USD 118.7 million),
representing a net IRR of 15.2% and a net cash multiple of 3.83x on
PACL's initial investment.
The USD proceeds of the realization will be distributed to
shareholders through a future mandatory share repurchase, or
another method to be determined by the Board, as soon as the
necessary PRC tax clearance is received and the PRC regulatory
repatriation process is completed, which is not expected to be
until sometime in late 2018.
