Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited Reports Recent Activities of Zhejiang Tianlan Environmental Protection Technology Co. Ltd., ("Blue Sky")

HONG KONG, Feb. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (Nasdaq: CLWT) today reported that on 14 August 2017, Blue Sky announced that due to plans for certain major events, its shares (stock code: 833772) would be suspended from trading on the New Third Board from 15 August 2017 until 14 November 2017.  On 13 November 2017, Blue Sky further announced that as the major events were still pending, its shares would continue to be suspended from trading until 13 February 2018.  On 1 February 2018, Blue Sky announced that its shares would resume trading on the New Third Board on 2 February 2018.

At the first General Meeting of 2018 of Blue Sky's shareholders held on 25 January 2018, it was resolved that Blue Sky should sell all of its shareholding in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Tianlan Environmental Engineering Limited ('Blue Sky Engineering') to two of Blue Sky's shareholders including the major shareholder. After the General Meeting, some shareholders and shareholders' representatives (including the Company) expressed disagreement to the sale, for the reason inter alia that, Blue Sky Engineering holds an Engineering Design Qualification Certificate (Class A) ('Engineering Certificate') in the PRC, and if disposed, Blue Sky would cease to have the benefit of the Engineering Certificate and be rendered unable to conduct any engineering design business to the detriment of Blue Sky.

In light of such disagreement, management of Blue Sky sought the views of shareholders; and some shareholders and shareholders' representatives (including the Company) indicated preference for the termination of the disposal of Blue Sky Engineering.  As a result, the secretary of the board of directors has informed the Company that Blue Sky would consult the related professional parties and duly decide and resolve upon this matter in accordance with the law.
