As previously announced, the company received approval for up to RMB 3 billion of domestic corporate bonds from the China Securities Regulatory Commission on Nov. 11.

Proceeds will be used to repay debt and for general working capital.

Golden Credit Rating International Co., Ltd. has assigned a rating of AA to the bonds.
