Under the framework agreement, the Ganzhou government will give priority to provide rare earth resources to Ming Yang, grant Ming Yang exclusive rights to operate wind farms in Ganzhou, and give priority use to Ming Yang's wind turbines in Jiangxi province.
In addition, under the framework agreement, the Ganzhou government grants Ming Yang the right to invest, as the promoter, in Ganzhou Rare Earth Mineral Industry Group. Ganzhou Rare Earth Mineral Industry Group is a state-owned company formed by Ganzhou municipal government with rare earth resources development rights in eight counties in Ganzhou. Based on the framework agreement, the Company will invest in the projects of research and development, and production of wind turbine generators ("WTGs") and core components, such as permanent magnetic generators, magnetic materials, etc., with funds committed in various stages according to the construction schedule.
Mr. Zhang Chuanwei, Chairman and CEO of Ming Yang remarked, "Building a wind power upstream supply chain is a core part of Ming Yang's strategic development at this stage. The strategic cooperation with the municipal government of Ganzhou will allow the Company to be the first Chinese wind turbine manufacturer to gain access to rare earth resources, which will enable the Company to accomplish the strategic goal to develop permanent magnetic generators for high-capacity WTGs. This is also imperative to the production of the core components of SCD WTGs and the optimization of cost. Ming Yang will continue to expand in upstream supply chain, to further enhance the Company's integrated capabilities in the wind turbine core component supply chain. We believe solid execution of this strategy will enhance our profitability, and help further expand our market share."
