Yuexiu Transport proposes to acquire 55% equity interests in Henan Yuexiu Pinglin Expressway Company

Further enhance the Company’s earnings per share and maintain long-term financial stability


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 October 2024 – Yuexiu Transport Infrastructure Limited (“Yuexiu Transport” or the “Company”; stock code: 01052.HK) announced today that a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire 55% equity interests in the target company which holds the toll collection rights of Henan Yuexiu Pinglin Expressway Company Limited (the “Target Company”) from Guangzhou Yue Xiu Holdings Limited (“Yue Xiu Group”), the controlling shareholder of the Company, for a total cash consideration of approximately RMB758.45 million. The acquisition is subject to approval by independent shareholders.

The Henan Pinglin Expressway, located in the core development area of the Zhongyuan city cluster, has a toll mileage of 106.45 km. It is an important component of the G36 Nanjing-Luoyang Expressway, one of the 18 east-west trunk lines of the national “71118” expressway network, and also one of the main logistics roads connecting the northwestern China and coastal region in southeastern China. The expressway has been in operation for over 18 years since it commenced operation in 2006, with a mature and stable surrounding expressway network.

Given its geographical advantage, Yuexiu Transport believes that the Henan Pinglin Expressway will continue to benefit from the national “Rise of Central China” regional development plan. The Company is optimistic about the long-term economic development in Central China, and the acquisition of the Henan Pinglin Expressway aligns with the Company’s strategy to expand its business footprint in the region and will help the Company further seize opportunities from the “Rise of Central China” plan. Additionally, as the Henan Pinglin Expressway is near the Weixu Expressway and the Lanwei Expressway, which are operated by the Company, a unified operation and management and a district management model would enable to achieve economies of scale and enhance management efficiency.

The Target Company is in good financial position and recorded a profit of RMB119.12 million in the first year after obtaining the toll collection rights of the Henan Pinglin Expressway in February 2023. For the seven months ended 31 July 2024, the Target Company’s revenue was RMB303.52 million and after-tax profit was RMB80.40 million. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Henan Pinglin Expressway is expected to bring enhanced cash flow and profits to the Yuexiu Transport, add momentum to the growth of the Company’s toll revenue and profit, and increase the Company’s earnings per share.

Yuexiu Transport believes that the acquisition of the Henan Pinglin Expressway aligns with the Company’s investment and development strategy of “focusing on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Central China”. Meanwhile, the Henan Pinglin Expressway will create economies of scale with the Weixu Expressway and the Lanwei Expressway in Central China, directly contributing to the Company’s toll revenue and profit, expanding the Company’s operating scale and enhancing its sustainable development capabilities.

Looking ahead, Yuexiu Transport will continue to refine its integrated business strategy of “investment, financing, operation, and divestment”. By establishing an incubation platform to secure quality assets and leveraging the domestic infrastructure REITs platform, the Company aims to dynamically adjust and continuously optimize its asset portfolio through the synergistic interaction between the incubation platform, infrastructure REITs platform and listed company platform, and strives to create greater value for shareholders.

“Waves of Wonder” – Taiwan Showcases Year-Round Charm in Paris


TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 October 2024 – To strengthen Taiwan’s tourism brand in the European market, the Tourism Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) is hosting a special exhibition in Paris, the global capital of art. Held in the wake of a similar exhibition in London during September, the all-new TAIWAN – Waves of Wonder: Journey through Taiwan’s Four Seasons special exhibition has moved to Paris, where it is being held for a 5-day period from October 9 to 13. During the exhibition, Taiwan’s enchanting four seasons are being shown at the famous Espace Thorigny – Le Marais, allowing the French to take an immersive journey to romantic Taiwan.

Hsieh Chang-ming, the director of the Tourism Administration's local office, representative Hao Pei-chih from the Taipei Representative Office in France, General Manager Howard Lu of Eva Airways Corp. French Branch, and Key Account Manager Sylvie Houles of China Airlines Passenger Sales Office France jointly attended the opening cocktail party.

French Branch, and Key Account Manager Sylvie Houles of China Airlines Passenger Sales Office France jointly attended the opening cocktail party.

The current TAIWAN – Waves of Wonder: Journey through Taiwan’s Four Seasons exhibition uses immersive display methods to create a “four seasons exhibition,” and employs graphic images, video, and sound effects to present Taiwan’s attractions during all four seasons. Viewers can start by seeing Taiwan’s spectacular Lantern Festival and the stunning pyrotechnics of Yanshui’s “Beehive Fireworks” in the spring video room; the summer area lets visitors see how Taiwan’s street foods are made via ASMR and appreciate the appeal of Taiwan’s cuisine. The immersive audiovisual projection theater in the fall area shows the beautiful panorama along Taiwan’s railways and bicycle paths. Apart from these features, the event also provides a chance to sample Taiwan’s teas and includes a workshop for making festive lanterns. This event is drawing throngs of Parisian visitors.

At the event’s October 8 opening night, Hsieh Chang-ming, the director of the Tourism Administration’s local office, representative Hao Pei-chih from the Taipei Representative Office in France, General Manager Howard Lu of Eva Airways Corp. French Branch, and Key Account Manager Sylvie Houles of China Airlines Passenger Sales Office France jointly attended the opening cocktail party and ribbon-cutting ceremony. According to Director Hsieh Chang-ming, the Taiwan Tourism Information Center (TTIC) was established on April 30, 2024, and is the first information center of its kind in Europe. TTIC is an important link in Taiwan’s campaign to open overseas markets. Data indicates that the number of visitors to Taiwan from France has been increasing significantly, and the mainstay 20-50 year-old French visitors are particularly fond of the cultural experience of travel. This immersive exhibition will show these travelers Taiwan’s various tourist activities and experiences, and we hope it will let French travelers see Taiwan from an all-new perspective.

Representative Hao Pei-chih from the Taipei Representative Office in France noted that promoting Taiwan’s travel charms can encourage cooperation and interchange between Taiwan and France. Furthermore, in the wake of the Cultural Olympiad, it is hoped that bringing Taiwan’s brand-new tourism brand to France, and giving the French a chance to appreciate Taiwan’s hospitality and appeal, will deepen future interaction between Taiwan and France, will give the French a better understanding of Taiwan, and encourage them to visit Taiwan.

Pleasant surprises abounded on the first day. One of these was the joint Eastern-Western performance of the pieces Red in All Four Seasons, Peach Blossom Takes the Ferry, and Malan Girl by French cellist Karsten Hochapfel and music festival staple and French resident Wang Yaping on the yangqin (hammered dulcimer). These pieces were highly evocative of Taiwan’s moods and landscape, and received thunderous applause from listeners. Michelin star chef Sean Kao was invited to offer up some exquisite Taiwan-style cuisine, which included Taiwanese braised dishes, Kaohsiung-style mullet roe, and Nantou-style cherry tomatoes with smoked plums. These dishes were accompanied by Taiwanese oolong tea cocktail, uniquely flavorful Taiwan whiskey, and globally-famous bubble tea. These delightful experiences ensured that all visitors experienced the visual, auditory, and gustatory beauty of Taiwan’s four seasons.

According to the Tourism Administration, this special exhibition is an all-new experiment in promoting tourism overseas, and it will extend the exhibition period to meet the needs of people who can only visit on weekends or weekdays. The gallery is close to the Centre Pompidou, and its location enabled the event to attract visitors from all over the world, so as to induce many more travelers to visit Taiwan.
