China Yuchai extends loan agreement with HLGE

HLGE will have a loan extension of S$93,000,000 originally granted to refinance the zero coupon, unsecured, non-convertible bonds issued by HLGE in 2006. It matured on July 3, 2009.



China Yuchai International Limited’s subsidiary Venture Lewis Limited entered into an agreement with HL Global Enterprises Limited for the loan extension.

This Loan was due to be repaid in July 2010 but was extended for one year pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in February 2010. The Company through another wholly-owned subsidiary, Grace Star Services Ltd., owns 47.4% of the issued ordinary shares of HLGE.

The unsecured Loan has, pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Loan Agreement, been extended for another one year from July 2011 and is due for repayment in July 2012.

Under the terms of the 2011 Loan Agreement, the interest payable is the aggregate of a margin of 1.75 per cent per annum, a reduction from 2.5 per cent per annum under the terms of the 2010 Loan Agreement, and the 12-month Singapore Interbank Offer Rate expressed in a percentage rate fixed by the Association of Banks in Singapore for Singapore Dollars as of January 28, 2011 which was 0.773 per cent.

In the event the interest rate charged on external funds utilized by China Yuchai for their investment in HLGE is increased, the Company has a right to negotiate with HLGE with a view to agreeing on an increase in the interest rate payable by HLGE under the 2011 Loan Agreement subject to compliance with certain regulatory requirements.  A negative pledge undertaking against any disposal or creation of security over substantially all of HLGE's assets without VLL's consent is also included.

Lorem Ipsum text in year 2025

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
