China Digital TV Provides Further Update on Asset Restructuring

 

BEIJING, August 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STV) ("China Digital TV" or the "Company"), the leading provider of cloud-based application platforms and conditional access ("CA") systems which enable China's digital cable television market to offer and secure diversified content services, today provided a further update on its asset restructuring (the “Restructuring”) with Shanghai Tongda Venture Capital Co., Ltd (“Tongda Venture”), as referred to in the press releases dated June 13, 2014, October 9, 2014, October 27, 2014, November 27, 2014, and July 16, 2015, respectively. The Company announced that Tongda Venture has submitted all relevant documents to the China Security Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) and received an acceptance letter. The acceptance letter acknowledges that the application materials submitted by the Company are in order, and states that it will proceed to consider the application.

 

There will be uncertainties in completing the Restructuring, which remains subject to review by the CSRC, amid increasingly stringent standards for such transactions. Pursuant to the framework agreement entered into on June 13, 2014, the Restructuring will be terminated if it is not completed by December 31, 2015. There is no assurance that these approvals or regulatory clearance will be obtained within a reasonable timeframe, or at all. Additionally, to the extent that the CSRC provides comments on the Restructuring or imposes additional conditions to its approval (such as extending the covered period, namely 2014, 2015 and 2016, of the profit compensation scheme), and parties to the Restructuring fail to resolve these comments or agree on necessary new arrangements to meet such conditions or fail to obtain shareholders approval (if required for such new arrangements), the Restructuring may terminate or lapse.
