On August 24, 2016, our Hong Kong subsidiary, Hongkong Takung Assets and Equity of Artworks Exchange Co., Ltd. (Hong Kong Takung”) entered into a loan agreement with Merit Crown Limited, a Hong Kong company to borrow US$2 million to meet its working capital needs (“US Dollar Loan”). Interest shall accrue at a rate of 8% per annum pro-rated to the actual loan period, which shall be from the date the loan amount is made through December 31, 2016.

 

Also on August 24, 2016, our PRC subsidiary, Takung (Shanghai) Co., Ltd entered into an interest- free loan agreement to lend an individual, Xiaohui Wang, a national of the People’s Republic of China RMB13.35 million (equivalent to US$2 million) for the same duration as the aforementioned loan (“RMB Loan”). This loan is guaranteed by Chongqing Wintus (New Star) Enterprises Group and Mr. Wang is a shareholder and the legal representative of it.

 

The US Dollar Loan is to provide Hong Kong Takung with sufficient US Dollar-denominated currency to meet its working capital requirements. It is “secured” by the RMB Loan of equivalent amount by its subsidiary to an individual and guarantor affiliated with the lender of the US Dollar Loan. It is the understanding between the parties that when the US Loan is repaid, the RMB Loan will similarly be repaid.

 

On August 25, 2016, Hong Kong Takung entered into a loan agreement with Jianping Mao (“Mao”), the wife of the Vice General Manager of Hong Kong Takung for the loan of HK$18,000,000 to Hong Kong Takung. Interest shall accrue at a rate of 8% per annum pro-rated to the actual loan period, which shall be from the date the loan amount is made through December 31, 2016. The loan is to provide Hong Kong Takung with sufficient Hong Kong Dollar-denominated currency to meet its working capital requirements.

 

As we have determined the Hong Kong dollar loan to be a “related party transaction”, our Audit Committee has reviewed and recommended for approval and our Board of Directors has approved the loan on August 22, 2016.

 

The foregoing description of the various loan agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the loan agreements, a copy of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date of this Form 8-K, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. The information in this Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this Form 8-K that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
