After making enquiries with its parent company, China Ocean Shipping (Group) Company, Cosco understands that the proposed significant transaction is still under intensified planning and that, as the above transaction is relatively complicated and may involve asset reorganisation, it is still pending further study and analysis. Given that there is material uncertainty and Cosco is not able to ascertain if the proposed transaction may or may not have a material impact on the Cosco’s securities, in order to ensure fair disclosure of information, safeguard the interest of investors and prevent unusual fluctuation of share prices of Cosco, the trading in the shares of Cosco will continue to be suspended.
