WUHAN CITY, China, Dec. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aoxin Tianli Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABAC) ("Aoxin Tianli" or the "Company"), a company focused on hog farming in China, today announced that it has executed an equity transfer agreement (the “Equity Transfer Agreement”) to sell the Company’s 95% equity interest in Wuhan Optical Valley Orange Technology Co., Ltd. (“OV Orange”) to a group of third party investors (collectively, the “Transferees”). Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Transferees on December 29, 2015, the Company agreed to transfer 95% of the equity interests in OV Orange for a total consideration of RMB47.5 million (approximately $7.3 million). To facilitate the transaction, the Company also agreed to waive the earn-out provisions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement executed on August 26, 2014 (please refer to the Company’s SEC filing at: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1486299/000119380514001769/e612663_ex10-1.htm) and to release the 403,000 “earn-out” shares of the Company’s common stock that are currently held in escrow to Ms. Li-Na Deng at the end of March 2017. The Company’s Board of Directors voted in favor of the transaction on December 29, 2015.
 
Additionally, the Company announced that it and Guangxi Hongzhen Investment Co., Ltd. (“Guangxi Hongzhen”) have agreed to terminate the Equity Transfer Agreement, previously entered into by them on November 13, 2015, whereby Guangxi Hongzhen was to purchase the Company’s interest in Hubei Hang-ao Servo-valve Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd.   (please refer to the Company’s SEC filing at: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1486299/000119380515001884/e614246_ex10-1.htm) . The Agreement was terminated at the request of Guangxi Hongzhen as a result of the inability to obtain proper land use permits and deeds for Hang-ao’s properties as a result of the failure of the developer of the industrial park in which Hang-ao is located to complete the development of the industrial park and related permitting procedures. As a result, Hang-ao remains an 88% owned subsidiary of the Company.
