Infinity Group Leads US$14.3 Million Investment in THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc.

TEL AVIV, Israel and SIPING, China, Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Infinity Group, an RMB fund pioneer and the leader in cross border China, RMB and dollar private equity funds, and THT Heat Transfer Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: THTI, "THT"), a leading provider of heat exchangers and heat exchange solutions in China's clean technology industry, announced today that Infinity Group has led a US$14.3 million investment in THT, at a pre-money valuation of US$51.2 million (US$3.20 per share), with an investment of US$9.0 million. MC Capital, Zhejiang Jinqiao and other various investors also participated in the Securities Purchase Agreement, which THT entered into on November 2, 2010. The closing of the transaction took place on December 7, 2010.

Headquartered in Siping City, Jilin Province, China, THT designs, manufactures and sells plate heat exchangers, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, heat exchanger units and other heat exchanger products with total heat exchange solutions, which play an integral part in helping customers improve energy efficiency. THT's products focus on energy conservation, carbon emission reduction and other environmentally friendly applications. Its six major product categories are plate heat exchangers, shell-and-tube heat exchangers, air-cooled heat exchangers, weld plate heat exchangers, heat exchanger units and plate-and-shell heat exchangers. THT has completed more than 3,000 projects collectively for both domestic and international customers, including BP, BASF, Sinopec, LG as well as the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

The proceeds from this transaction will be used to invest in a new air-cooled heat exchanger factory in Tianjin as well as pressing machines for nuclear power plant products. The remaining funds will be used to support working capital needs, including the expansion of production capacity, the promotion of future business development and the support of new product development.

"Infinity Group decided to invest in THT for several reasons. Among them, THT has a diversified product portfolio with proven quality, integrated production, and customized and innovative products. In addition, and of particular relevance, THT's future strategy includes tapping the air-cooled heat exchanger market and nuclear market. Towards this goal, the company has shown interest in one of Infinity Groups' defined sectors of focus, that is, Israeli water clean technology and energy in the areas of desalination, water-savings technology in agriculture and processing technology. THT's strategy also fits well with the Chinese government's stated determination to save energy and water. Today's investment supports a win-win situation for all parties involved and aligns nicely with Infinity's mandate to invest in Chinese companies with a global strategy that includes licensing, developing and commercializing Israeli IP and proven technology," said Ariel Poppel, managing director of finance at Infinity Group.

"Infinity invested RMB and US dollars in THT through a combination of the Infinity I-China off shore fund and the Infinity Suzhou and Changzhou on shore funds. We are now planning other similar PIPE deals that enable investments at a discounted rate, in excellent companies that are undervalued and where Infinity can offer additional value, including its strong and widespread presence throughout China in the various provinces. We plan to leverage this presence to the benefit of THT," said Amir Gal-Or, managing partner of Infinity Group and Infinity I-China.

Commenting on the financing, THT's chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Guohong Zhao, said, "We are pleased to welcome Infinity Group as our lead investor and appreciate the efforts of our investors and financial advisor Halter Financial Group. Through this transaction THT will benefit not only from the fresh capital that will help fuel business expansion, but also from Infinity's international technology transfer platform and extensive geographic footprint throughout China. This round of financing will afford us the opportunity to further explore the water-savings (air cooled heat exchanger), energy savings (district heating), clean technology, and nuclear power plants markets in China. These markets have already benefitted from an increasing demand in water-deficient areas of China and favorable government policies that aim to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Going forward, we will cooperate with Infinity Group to introduce advanced Israeli technologies in water, energy saving and clean tech to strengthen our R&D capabilities, enhance our product portfolio, and extend our market leadership."
