NEW YORK, February 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Wins Finance Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: WINS) ("Wins Finance" or the "Company"), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jinshang International Financial Lease Co., Ltd, entered into a purchase-and-lease-back agreement valued at RMB70 million (U.S. $10.64 million) with Panjin Central Hospital, a leading Third-Level Grade-A hospital in Liaoning Province, China. The assets covered by this agreement are medical equipment, including equipment for heart and cerebral vessels and ophthalmology. It is the first purchase-and-lease back agreement for Wins Finance in the healthcare sector.
"We see a significant opportunity to expand our lease back business in the healthcare sector and help local hospitals in China secure the equipment they need to provide quality care to those who need it most," said Renhui Mu, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Wins Finance. "The central government is encouraging the development of local medical care and we believe we can play an important role to connect capital investors to the market and attract more banks and low cost funding into the sector."
Mr. Mu added, "Expanding our healthcare leasing business should provide us positive returns with a relatively low risk profile, and further diversify our business over time."
