Versarien released details on the Company's expansion plans for its graphene business in China, which in the past were referred to as a "term sheet" with the Beijing Institute of Graphene Technology ("BIGT").
According to Versarien, the term sheet "envisaged that BIGT would provide funding to Versarien for the proposed wholly owned subsidiary ("WFOE") and other corporate purposes in the form of an equity investment".
"The company can confirm that discussions between BIGT and the Company remain ongoing and that the WFOE has now been successfully incorporated as the Beijing Versarien Technology Company Limited and the business licence has been granted by the relevant Chinese authorities," said a statement from Versarien.
It added: "With regards to a reference made by Neill Ricketts, CEO of the Company, on August 8, 2019, on Twitter, that the company had another Chinese investor who was interested in up to 29.9% of the company, the company can confirm it previously received a proposal from an investor that cited interest to subscribe for shares up to that amount, but this was rejected and the board determined that the terms with BIGT provided the best opportunity."
