Hanergy Thin Film said that no formal agreement had been made and that an agreement may also not be entered into as a final say via independent shareholders at the special general meeting. However, the major shareholder is Hanergy Group chairman, Li Hejun.
The deferred payment proposal continues to highlight long-standing doubts over privately held Hanergy Holding Group’s revenue and profit generation.
Hanergy Thin Film recently claimed that had increased revenue by around 50% and returned a profit for the first half of 2016, compared to the prior year period.
