Wins Finance Holdings Inc. Enters the Tele-medical Equipment Leasing Sector in China, Signing Seven Agreements Valued at RMB 49.5 Million (US$7.7 Million)

NEW YORK, Dec. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Wins Finance Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: WINS) ("Wins Finance" or the "Company"), today announced that its wholly-owned PRC subsidiary Jinshang International Financial Lease Co., Ltd. has executed an aggregate of RMB 49.5 million (US$7.7 million) in direct leasing contracts for tele-medical equipment with seven hospitals located in Shanxi, Shandong, and Xinjiang provinces, beginning in June 2015.

"Due to the serious geographical imbalance in distribution of medical resources in China, people in the middle and west of China cannot access high-quality medical care. This has resulted in a significant increase in demand for medical equipment in those areas," said Renhui Mu, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Wins Finance. "Under the Chinese central government's policy of encouraging the development of tele-medicine, this sector has become extremely attractive to the equipment leasing industry, and is a focus for Wins Finance's current and future business development activity. Through cooperation arrangements with leading medical equipment sales and distribution agents, our PRC subsidiary Jinshang has established strong and constructive relationships with hospitals, primarily in the areas of ophthalmology and cardiovascular disease."

"By executing these contracts, we have opened the door to the tele-medical equipment leasing sector. As the next step, we are currently in negotiations with hospitals located in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Sichuan and Hebei provinces regarding an additional ten leasing contracts valued at RMB 117 million (US$18 million)" added Mr Mu. "We continue to look for equipment leasing opportunities and clients across China, and are preparing to enter the more developed leasing market in the eastern coastal crescent where we expect to apply our equipment-purchase-lease-back model, which has proved to be successful in the middle and west of China. We feel that our expansion into this sector will provide positive returns for the Company, and believe that our efforts will lead us to become recognized as a mature, professional, and competitive lease financing provider."
