Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On April 24, 2018, Yangtze River Port and Logistics Limited (the “Company”) submitted a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in response to the SEC comment letter dated April 16, 2018 and to inform the SEC that the Company has determined at this time not to proceed with the Spin-off Transaction (as defined below) as contemplated by the Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C that the Company filed with the SEC on February 15, 2018 (the “Information Statement”).

 

As previously disclosed in the Information Statement, the Company proposed to distribute one (1) ordinary share of Yangtze River Blockchain Logistics Limited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, to its shareholders for every one (1) share of common stock they owned in the Company (the “Spin-off Transaction”). Due to the potential costs related to the Spin-off Transaction and the fact that the Company’s board of directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company not to pursue the blockchain business, the Company has determined at this time not to proceed with the Spin-off Transaction.
