SHENZHEN, China, March 7 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The Intermost Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: IMOT), a leading electronic online equity exchange service provider in China, announced that its associate company and close equity exchange partner, Shenzhen International Hi-Tech Property Right Exchange Center ("Shenzhen Exchange"), has received further generous support from Guangdong provincial and Shenzhen Municipal governments.

To foster growth of hi-tech companies, Chinese governmental authorities initiated a "Growth Road Map of Innovative Enterprises Program" on the Shenzhen Exchange. The Shenzhen Exchange is allowed to expand its business to cover the whole South China area in the co-name of China Property and Share Rights Exchange ("CPSE"). A budget of RMB 15 million has been granted to CPSE as well as a free office space of 3,000 square meters and a site of 10,000 square meters for CPSE to build an equity exchange building. As an important shareholder and close partner, Intermost will fully collaborate with the Shenzhen Exchange.

The "Growth Road Map of Innovative Enterprises Program" is a Green Financing Channel for small and medium enterprises from the Multi-Layer Capital Market. It is committed to solve their financing needs during growth and development stages. Shenzhen local governments allocate capitals and build up such a channel on the Shenzhen Exchange.

Mr. Jin-yong Chang, CEO of the Shenzhen Exchange said, "The Growth Road Map Program is the first Private Equity Placement in China based on the qualified investor registration system." The newly revised Company Law, Security Act and Partnership Law of PRC have eliminated all juristic obstacles in private equity placement. It is reported that individuals and institutions, who have seasoned professionalism or have met certain capital requirement, can register as a qualified investor on the Shenzhen Exchange and take part in private equity placement in the Growth Road Map Program.

The prosperous hi-tech industry in Shenzhen City, pearl river delta and South China has resulted in high demands for technologic equity transfers. Along with expansion of equity market, the Shenzhen Exchange will developed into China's top equity exchange together with those in Tianjin and Shanghai.
