Here’s more from OCBC:
Tongji is the holding company of Aton Environmental Co, where the latter has a 30-year BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) concession agreement with the municipal government to treat 50k m3 of wastewater daily. According to UEL, the move is part of its business strategy to increase recurring income streams through the investment in water treatment projects. UEL intends to fund the investment using internal resources - recall that UEL has just issued US$113.8m worth of convertible bonds to KKR. While we are generally positive on the latest development, we need to speak with management to get more details before we adjust our estimates. |
