It is noteworthy that this increase is not simple, there are "additional conditions." After the completion of the fixed increase, the East China Science and technology assets reorganization is a big probability event. Because, according to the "Future reorganization" plan in the Genistein, within 36 months after the release is completed, the company intends to sell the related equity or assets of the machine tool manufacturing business of its NC shares to East China numerical control, including the way to subscribe the CNC non-public offering in east China.
