Strategic Reorganization
Geo Genesis Group Limited, an emerging markets advisory and investment company, today confirms the outcome of its recent strategic reorganization concerning its activities in China; in particular the Group's wholly owned subsidiary, Qingdao China Partners Ltd (`QCP'), based in Qingdao, China.
The Board believes that the Chinese presence of the Advisory & Consultancy Division of Geo Genesis would be best served by increasing the direct involvement of the Group's New York advisory subsidiary, Geo Genesis Group Inc. Therefore the decision has been made to withdraw such activities from `QCP', focusing instead on the Beijing office of Geo Genesis Group Inc.
Geo Genesis Group Inc.'s Beijing office is authorized by the relevant Chinese authorities and already has a strong presence in China. This staffed office will continue to represent the New York advisory arm of the Group and will resume all responsibility for Geo Genesis's activities in China. In addition to the Group's activities in Beijing, Geo Genesis will maintain two independent contractors in Qingdao; Mr Jan Pannemann, a Senior Advisor to the Group and Ms Connie Zhang, a Senior Associate. Both will work closely with the Beijing office of Geo Genesis Group Inc.
As a result of the restructuring, Mr Steven Jiasheng Liu of QCP, and Mr Dudley Owen-Thomas, an advisor to the Group, will no longer hold shares, warrants or options in Geo Genesis. Both individuals were allotted a number of securities in Geo Genesis in consideration for ongoing work with QCP. Given the new strategy for the Group's Advisory & Consultancy Division in China, these facilities have been canceled as per a special meeting of the Board held on 26 December 2009.
Roger Bendelac, Chief Executive of Geo Genesis said "We have restructured our advisory capacity in China to maximize the wealth of expertise available to us. As with all businesses, there come times when difficult decisions must be made and the Board believes that the best path of continued progress for the Group is by applying the knowledge and experience of our New York subsidiary directly.
"The Beijing office of Geo Genesis Group Inc is of key importance to both our commercial and government relationships in China and will lead the coordination of our activities in this region. 2010 holds considerable promise for investment in China, but there are many challenges to come as the global economy shows signs of straightening. I believe that Geo Genesis has a strong team on the ground in China and the Board would like to thank all involved in our Chinese operations for their continued efforts for shareholders."
Following the cancellation of securities, the issued share capital of the Company is 64,680,692 Ordinary Shares and 25,850,000.00 A Class Warrants. The total Directors shareholdings now stand at 25,527,500 Ordinary Shares representing 39.47% of the issued share capital.
