The corporate website has been revamped significantly. A lot more 'professional' and investor friendly now. Juirui Expressway has been added in.

target for an annual dividend payout of at least 5.5 cents a share over the next two
years in view of the increased gearing and the Group’s future development needs.

Based on outstanding HK$952m worth of CBs, the potential shares to be converted at $0.826 is 181.93m.

On further review of my original posting, I will add the following comments:

i) seems like CMP is a hurry since 1st acquiring YTW from CMG only to be set back by regulatory on YTW since its the first major acquisition for CMP since 2004 back in 2010

ii) of course jiurui... probably due to deterioration in mkt conditions and they want to squeeze vendors

iii) investors must not be surprised that another accretive deal is in the offing otherwise Huajian would not have converted the RCCPS which they would have done in the many years since it was first issued in 2004.

Term Loan Facility

http://infopub.sgx.com/FileOpen/Term_Loa...eID=315383 [SGX Announcement]

CM Pacific has secured US$220 million loan facility with 5 year maturity. This facility will likely be used to repay Jiurui's existing debt (6.4% effective interest) thereby reducing the effective interest cost. I suspect this will be done by shareholder's loans from the holding company to the asset company in China. Currently, based on the Circular, Jiurui has HK$1.6 billion debt so this facility of US$220 million or HK$1.7 billion will be more than sufficient to refinance it. We will need to wait for the upcoming Annual Report to see the interest costs and debt repayment terms.

The previous US$150 million loan facility to refinance Beilun debts had these terms:

Quote:Bank loan G is a United States dollar facility of US$150,000,000. 1st repayment shall be 40% of the
loan principal which falls on June 2017 while the repayment for the balance loan principal is in June
2018. The interest rate is charged at BBA LIBOR plus a margin of 1.95% per annum. The average
effective interest rate of the loan is 2.62% per annum

[2013 Annual Report]

The speed of the RCPS conversion, issue of Vendor shares and debt refinancing surprised me. It might even be possible for Jiurui to break even this year.

(Vested)

Its all according to the script... they have readied their machinery to restructured the high costs debt with little time to lose...

Once Jiurui is wrapped up, there appears to be a good chance that another road is in the offing...

Noted that all new shares issued to Liu Qiang are entitled to 3.5c interim dividends alongside the shares from converting RCCPS... they are absolutely confident that absolute dividend payments going forward are no worries.

Mgt has openly stated that they rather keep dividends growing on a sustainable basis to support a higher share price in order to facilitate issuing of new shares to part pay for future acquisitions.

Compared to the pre 2013 days where share price is below book NAV and the ability to issue shares is impaired, CMP acquisitive ability is alive and kicking...

Another possibility is to prepare for another deal.

That's super fast refinacing. Pleasant surprise. Looking at rate of cb conversion, eps shd easily hit 9cents this year. Much will depend on how much jiurui grow to further increase their eps going forward. The report seems to predict quite an exponential growth, let's hope it turn out true.
