Hollysys Automation Technologies Announces Its First Sizable Acquisition to Enter International Market and Hong Kong Dual Listing Initiative

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, Hollysys shall pay/issue a fully refundable deposit of 20.75 million Singaporean dollars at SPA signing, and 20.75 million Singaporean dollars and approximately 1 million shares of Hollysys common stock at the closing. The CCPL management is entitled to approximately 0.75 million shares of Hollysys common stock in each of the next two years, if Concord's US-GAAP audited net income equals or exceeds US $ 10 million and US$ 11.5 million for Hollysys' fiscal year of 2012 and 2013 respectively.

CCPL provides complete electrical solution with end to end capabilities in design, engineering, procurement, project management, construction & commissioning, and maintenance to a wide array of industries, including rail, power plants, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, etc. As an established regional electrification service provider in the rail industry, CCPL has successfully commissioned signaling, power distribution, automatic train control, communication, power rail, and other related electrical engineering and installation works for Red and Green lines of Dubai Metro LRT in United Arab Emirates, Makkah-Holy Sites Rail Line in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Circle Line Stage I, II, IV, V & Kim Chuan Depot and North East Line of MRT System in Singapore.

Dr. Changli Wang, CEO and Chairman of Hollysys, commented: "We are very pleased with this highly accretive and complementary acquisition of CCPL group of companies, which provides Hollysys with a readily available channel to cross sell our existing product lines in rail and industrial segments to fast growing South-East Asia and the Middle East market. We are also excited to be able to retain a team of seasoned and high-caliber professionals through this acquisition, who will form the foundation of our international team to greatly enhance Hollysys capability to tackle the international market. Hollysys will leverage its strong proprietary technology and its capabilities accumulated from its leading positions in China's rail and industrial segments to enter and penetrate into the international market, through both organic growth and accretive acquisitions to maximize our shareholder value."

Mr. Chim Swee Yong, Group Executive Chairman of CCPL, commented: "We are honored to be able to join and team up with Hollysys, a well-established proprietary technology and product provider in rail and industrial industries in China. We are seeing great opportunities lying ahead of us, given the fast growth in rail, oil and gas, and power industries in our addressable market in South-East Asia and the Middle East. With more than 20 years strong track record, we believe the combination of our existing customer base and complete electrification solution capabilities and Hollysys' proprietary technology and products would be of great benefit to capturing the growth opportunities, both in the current addressable geographical regions and other international markets at large."

Mr. Peter Li, CFO of Hollysys, commented: "This acquisition is our first meaningful M&A since we were listed on NASDAQ. We are very pleased to have entered SPA to acquire such a successful platform together with a team of professionals with backgrounds from GE Industrial, Thales Transportation and Bombardier Transportation, at a highly accretive valuation to its forward earnings. CCPL meets all of our acquisition criteria, which we laid out as our corporate acquisition strategy, of accretion, complement, and ease of integration. We expect this acquisition will be closed around July 1, 2011, from when CCPL revenue and income would be fully consolidated and reported under Hollysys. With the capital needs for more potential acquisitions, Hollysys will seek to dual list itself on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange while maintaining NASDAQ listing as its primary listing board, because we believe that Hong Kong dual listing will provide us with a valuable diversified investor base, comparable peers, and stronger analyst coverage interests, to unlock our intrinsic value currently ignored or undiscovered, for maximizing our shareholder value."
