HQ Announces Mutual Termination of Agreement With Shandong Shengli Maritime School
23 Novembre 2010 - 4:26PM
HQ Global Education Inc. ("HQ" or the "Company") (OTCBB:HQGE),
which controls and operates ten (10) vocational schools in China
under the widely known "HQ" brand and is one of China's leading
providers of customized or "order-oriented" vocational education,
announced today that HQ and Shandong Shengli Maritime School
("Shengli") have mutually terminated the exclusive cooperative
agreement entered into by both parties on May 27, 2010 (the
"Agreement").
Under the terms of the Agreement, HQ assumed responsibility for
operating and providing customized educational programs to Shengli,
a private maritime vocational school in Dongying City, Shandong
Province, China. The Company expects that the termination of the
Agreement will not affect other cooperative efforts between the two
parties, as HQ had provided student recruitment services to Shengli
for two years prior to entering into the Agreement.
Mr. Guangwen He, Chairman and CEO of the Company, stated, "The
decision to terminate our exclusive cooperation with Shengli was
primarily based on imminent regulatory measures in Decree No. 10,
issued by the Ministry of Transport of the PRC, that restrict the
licensing and operation of domestic maritime schools. We anticipate
that these new policies, when combined with the stringent
regulations associated with operating a private maritime school in
China, will have a long-term material impact on the operations and
management of Shengli. We feel this action is in the best interests
of our shareholders. Since we were in the process of finalizing the
implementation after signing the May 27 exclusive cooperative
agreement, the revenues of Shengli have never been included in the
consolidated financial statements of HQ. Based on these facts, we
do not expect the termination to have a material effect on our
results of operations or financial condition for the fiscal year
2010 and the future."
Mr. He continued, "The relationship between HQ and Shengli has
always been and will continue to be based on mutual benefit. We
terminated our exclusive cooperative agreement through cordial
discussion, and the collaborative relationship between both parties
remains solid. We remain committed to developing long-term
exclusive business cooperation with other schools and will continue
to pursue such opportunities as part of our growth strategy."
