WorldTeq Group International, Inc. Updates Plan of Exchange to Acquire Harbin Yinhai Technology Development Company Ltd. ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WorldTeq Group International (OTC:WTEQ) (BULLETIN BOARD: WTEQ) announced recently in a form 8-K filed with the SEC that it has signed a plan of exchange to acquire Harbin Yinhai Technology Development Company Ltd. Pursuant to and subject to the closing of the Agreement (including the satisfaction of certain conditions prior to closing) and the transactions therein, the shareholders of Yinhai plan to exchange all of their shares of registered capital of Yinhai for 12,211,857 shares of common stock of WorldTeq, or approximately 90% of WorldTeq's then outstanding shares of common stock. In this event and upon completion of the exchange, the registered capital of Yinhai will be transferred to WorldTeq Group International, and Yinhai will become a wholly owned subsidiary of WorldTeq Group International. The Agreement contemplates that the exchange transaction will not immediately be consummated, but will close within three days after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in the Agreement. The closing of the planned transaction is subject to completion of various additional acts on the part of each of the parties. These include, but are not limited to, completion of satisfactory negotiations and due diligence, customary closing conditions for a transaction of this type, as well as a condition that WorldTeq will have consummated a 30:1 reverse stock split prior to closing in compliance with the provisions of the corporate law of Nevada, that WorldTeq will have no material liabilities at closing, and Yinhai's delivery of audited financial statements satisfactory to WorldTeq (for the year ended December 31, 2004). Jeff Lieberman, CEO of WorldTeq Group stated: "The most exciting feature of this transaction is that the merger between Yinhai and WorldTeq Group International does not include WorldTeq Corporation's current and future business. Yinhai is merging with WorldTeq Group International, the parent company, while WorldTeq Corporation is spinning off prior to this transaction and will be transferred to another public company. In addition to their shares of WorldTeq Group International, all shareholders of WorldTeq Group International, Inc. will receive the same numbers shares in the new WorldTeq Corporation that they had in WorldTeq Group International. If the Company's plans can be successfully implemented and subject to further negotiations, the planned merger transaction will function similar to a paid dividend to the WorldTeq Group International shareholders because, whether they hold or sell their shares in Yinhai, they will still have their shares in WorldTeq Corporation. Mr. Lieberman further stated that he believes that Yinhai offers good growth prospects if Yinhai is able to implement its business plan. We are hopeful that the merger will close during the first quarter 2005. Additionally, management is discussing the future strategy of the new WorldTeq Corporation. If the transaction with Yinhai is completed, we are deciding where to focus our efforts. One possibility is a second merger with a company in the same industry that could take advantage of our sizeable carry-loss forward."
