3. Termination of C&D City Service Acquisition MOU • The previously announced non-binding memorandum for C&D Property’s potential purchase of C&D City Service has been terminated by mutual consent after parties failed to agree definitive terms. The companies state no material adverse financial impact from this decision.
Corporate Governance Directors with overlapping roles between C&D Inc., C&D Property, C&D International and Lianfa Group abstained from relevant board votes to mitigate conflicts of interest. An independent board committee and financial adviser will opine on the fairness of the Lianfa Property acquisition for C&D Property’s independent shareholders.
Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of both C&D Property and C&D International.
