Trying to lay out the medical industry

The main business of the Great Wall of China was originally "engineering construction". In 2016, the "medical and health industry" was listed alongside "engineering construction" as "the two major strategic development directions in the future", and then acquired the overseas Akur hospital.

The "out of control" German hospital was bought in 2017. At that time, the company believed that Baden Baden Hospital was a characteristic hospital with a long history in Germany and had a high reputation in medical rehabilitation, and the acquisition of the hospital was conducive to the introduction of advanced medical talents, technology and management experience from Germany, and the integration of Chinese and foreign resources. realize the layout of the company in the field of medical rehabilitation.

The announcement on the evening of December 25 showed that Great Wall Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shencheng A, was recommended by middleman Chu Chengzhong in 2017.Great Wall GroupA 100 per cent stake in Akur Hospital, owned by Germany's Akur Medical Group, which is in liquidation, was acquired for 14.2 million euros.

The company then decided that German Healthcare Investment, which is jointly controlled by Chu Chengzhong and his wife, would hold a 6% stake in the hospital, and the Great Wall Group would own 94%.

Shencheng A retreat said that due to liquidity difficulties, Akur Hospital sent a letter to the company in early 2019 asking for financial support. Because of the debt crisis, Shencheng A has been unable to provide liquidity support to it. In order to meet the urgent financing needs of the hospital, Akur Hospital shareholders Deutsche Healthcare Investment and Great Wall Group made a shareholders' meeting resolution authorizing the management of the hospital to carry out financing business.

Subsequently, the hospital management unilaterally drew up a "financing and equity transfer contract", agreeing that German Investment and Trading Co., Ltd. (100% shareholding of Chu Chengzhong) and a natural person would finance a loan of 1 million euros to Akur Hospital and guarantee the hospital land (valued at 4.5 million euros). At the same time, the "financing and equity transfer contract" contains equity transfer terms, that is, the lender transfers the Great Wall Group to hold a 94% stake in the hospital, and agrees that the Great Wall Group can redeem the loan within four months.

In June this year, Akur Hospital completed the equity change procedures, the Great Wall Group no longer holds a stake in the hospital.

Contact the hospital failed

Then Shencheng A withdrew a special person from Akur Hospital for on-the-spot investigation and asked for relevant information, but the hospital still refused to provide it. Shencheng A Tui believes that the above violations have deprived the listed company of control over the hospital.

Shencheng A retreated said that the company's investment in the hospital accounted for 1.09% of the company's latest audited total assets, and if it was not included in the company's consolidated statements in 2019, it would have a significant impact on the company's 2019 financial statements. At present, the company has commissioned professionals to verify and evaluate the current situation of the hospital, intend to recover 6% of the shareholding and another 94% of the equity, and pursue the legal liability of the relevant parties.
