附件1: TIC公司新业务架构的安排
Appendix 1: Arrangement for New Business Framework of TIC
l
Current Tengtu shareholders set up a new subsidiary through investing US$1.5 million. Let’s call it Company A.
l
Select 2 reliable Chinese citizens from Company A to set up a domestic company in order to apply ICP and related licenses. Let’s call it Company B.
l
According to the application requirement, the initial investment capital for Company B cannot less than RMB1 million. Company A provides the principal to the Company B’s 2 founder in the form of loan.
l
Business of Tianzhe team enters to Company B.
l
To void the impact of TIC’s current operation, Company A can provide capital to Company B through the Joint Venture pattern. Company B’s revenue can be consolidated through current joint venture agreements.
l
In case TIC has the risk of delisting or liquidation issue, Company A and B can ended the joint venture agreement. Company A’s investment can be converted to Company B’s equity through curtain agreement.
l
Company B can look for other investment opportunity separately in case of TIC applying for liquidation or be delisted. So US$1.5 million’s investments and Company B’s interest will be safe for continue development.
