中国建材(03323.HK)泰山拟签署和解协议将支付和解金额2.48亿美元
格隆汇 07-30 21:49

格隆汇7月30日丨中国建材(03323.HK)发布公告,泰山石膏有限公司(北新建材的全资附属公司,原名泰山石膏股份有限公司)及泰安市泰山纸面石膏板有限公司(与泰山石膏合称泰山)拟与代理和解集体的律师订立了一份集体和解协议。

根据和解协议,和解集体同意自和解协议生效日起,完全地、最终地和永远地放弃及豁免任何和所有针对泰山及其他被豁免方的豁免的索赔权,并且承诺不再对任何和所有针对泰山及其他被豁免方的豁免的索赔权提起诉讼。作为和解的对价,泰山拟同意按照和解协议规定的如下方式支付和解金额共计2.48亿美元。在所有各方签署和解协议之后,和解协议必须经美国法院批准后方可生效。

根据和解协议,泰山预计其将支付的和解金额共计2.48亿美元,将根据适用的会计准则的相关规定作为预计负债以单一数额一次性反映于泰山石膏截至2019年6月30日止6个月的财务报表中,并预期会对泰山石膏及北新建材该6个月财政期间的净利润造成约人民币17亿元的不利影响。尽管有上述财务影响,预期该集团截至2019年6月30日止6个月未经审核的权益持有人应占利润较2018年同期仍将预计增加超过50%。

公司称,上述美国石膏板诉讼属于集体诉讼,该类案件适用的美国民事诉讼程序素以旷日持久、复杂繁琐、费用昂贵而闻名,且索赔数额可能很高。作为被告,即使胜诉,所支出的诉讼费用及律师费亦将很庞大并且也得不到任何补偿。

泰山拟签署此和解协议,仅为避免和减少因诉讼而产生的费用和支出,不得解释为1)承认美国法院对该公司、北新建材和泰山具有案件管辖权;2)北新建材和泰山生产的石膏板存在质量问题;或3)泰山和其他被豁免方承认在相关诉讼中应承担法律责任。
