| Description | The Board of Directors of Uni-Asia Holdings Limited (the "Company") is pleased to announce an update on the progress of the vessel acquisition project of Mable Bulkship S.A. ("Mable Bulkship Project"), a wholly owned subsidiary under Uni-Asia Shipping Limited ("Uni-Asia Shipping"). Uni-Asia Shipping is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. 1. Mable Bulkship Project. As announced previously on 26 April 2013, Mable Bulkship S.A. ("Mable") (previously named Mars Bulkship S.A.) has acquired a 37,000 dwt newbuilding handysize bulk carrier pursuant to an agreement with Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. on 25 April 2013. The vessel was successfully delivered on 2 March 2015 by Imabari Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and was immediately time chartered out to a reputable charterer. Mable entered into a loan agreement with Mitsubishi UFJ Lease & Finance Company Limited ("MUL") for a term loan facility to be used solely for the purpose of the acquisition of the vessel, under which US$18.12 million was drawn down by 27 February 2015. MUL is not related to the Company and its subsidiaries, the Company's controlling shareholders and directors. 2. Uni-Asia Shipping Vessel Acquisition Projects. Uni-Asia Shipping has acquired nine vessels to date since its establishment on 12 April 2010, each as announced on 25 May 2010, 22 September 2010, 26 January 2011, 14 March 2011, 18 August 2011, 26 April 2013, 4 March 2014, 31 July 2014 and 9 February 2015. Among nine vessels, eight vessels were delivered including the vessel owned by Mable, and contributing to the group's profit. With the increase in resources, the Company has, through Uni-Asia Shipping, increased its activities in ship owning and chartering, in addition to its existing service coverage which includes ship financing arrangement, ship investment management, ship technical management as well as ship brokerage, with the aim of being an integrated shipping service provider. Uni-Asia Shipping expects further delivery of one remaining vessel in 2016, with the aim of building up a cost-competitive fleet of handy bulk carriers. The revenue from the charter of the vessel acquired by Mable, as well as the remaining one vessel (when delivered) will contribute towards increasing the Company's stable recurrent income flow.
