According to Zhitong Finance App, Bank of Harbin (06138) issued an announcement. In order to optimize the company's asset structure, on December 27, 2024, the company (as the transferor) signed a debt transfer agreement with China CITIC Financial Assets Heilongjiang Branch (as the transferee), and the company agreed to transfer the underlying claims to China CITIC Financial Assets Heilongjiang Branch.
The subject matter of the transfer is the subject-matter claim of the company as stated in the debt transfer agreement, including the principal claim and its security rights, mortgages, pledges and other ancillary rights and related contractual rights under the subject-matter claim as of the reference date (i.e. September 30, 2024). As of this reference date, the principal balance of the underlying claim, interest, compound interest, and justice-related expenses, totaled approximately RMB 1.569 billion, and the principal carrying balance was approximately RMB 1.158 billion.
The announcement stated that the underlying claims are the company's non-performing assets, and transferring the underlying claims will help optimize the company's asset structure. China CITIC Financial Assets Heilongjiang Branch was selected as the buyer for the transfer of the underlying claim using open bidding. After thorough consideration, the board of directors believes that entering into a debt transfer agreement is beneficial to the company and its shareholders as a whole. As of the reference date (i.e. September 30, 2024), the underlying claim had an asset impairment provision of approximately RMB 0.477 billion, and the net principal amount of the underlying claim after deducting the impairment provision on the base date was approximately RMB 0.681 billion. The above estimate may have a different actual financial impact from the transfer of the underlying claim.
