Borqs Technologies Shortlists Buyers for the Second Round of Due Diligence & Negotiations for the Divestment of Holu Hou Energy LLC
October 06 2023 - 8:30AM
Borqs Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BRQS, “Borqs”, or the “Company”),
a global provider of 5G wireless and Internet of Things (IoT)
solutions, today announced that it has received multiple
non-binding indications of interest for its stake in Holu Hou
Energy LLC (“HHE”) and a selected group of potential buyers have
been invited to participate in the second round of due diligence
and negotiations for the complete divestment of the Company’s
interest in HHE.
As previously announced, the Company was
mandated by CFIUS to divest its ownership in the solar energy
storage subsidiary, HHE, due to national security concerns.
Subsequently, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., a nationally reputable
investment firm, was engaged by the Company to initiate and manage
the sales process of the Company’s ownership in HHE and has
received considerable interest from potential buyers. The said
transaction is on track to be finalized by the end of the year.
“Proceeds from the divestment will be used for
the growth of our business, making strategic M&A, and we will
also consider a share buyback program and/or a special dividend
payout in order to enhance our shareholder value,” said Mr. Pat
Chan, CEO of Borqs Technologies.
