JINJIANG, China, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- China Ceramics Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ Capital Market: CCCL) ("China Ceramics" or the "Company"), a leading Chinese manufacturer of ceramic tiles used for exterior siding and for interior flooring and design in residential and commercial buildings, today announced that the Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a Malaysian contractor for the Company's ceramic tiles including its new 'cooling' ceramic tiles that it introduced in August of 2019. The Malaysian contractor intends to use the Company's ceramic tile products for use in high rise apartment buildings in the third quarter of 2020.

"This is an important step to increasing our exports to Southeast Asia due to the rapid rise in construction in the region and its climate conditions which make it an ideal fit for many of our ceramic tile products. Provided that the market demand and related conditions are in place, we plan upon substantially increasing our exports to this region," said Ms. Meishuang Huang, Chief Executive Officer of China Ceramics. "China Ceramics continues to deploy innovation and competitive pricing to secure new business. We believe that our new products will help us to enter new markets and ultimately diversify our revenue stream while contributing to our future growth."

The Company's anticipated entry into Malaysia is the first step of an expansion effort into Southeast Asia that is intended to capitalize upon the increased level of the region's new building construction which is due in part to China's Belt and Road Initiative. The Company foresees this as an opportunity to utilize its currently unused production capacity as it enters a dynamic regional market with an estimated population of 660 million people. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Huang Meishuang, will oversee the execution of this planned expansion.

The Company plans to introduce specialized products into the Southeast Asia market that are suitable for the region due its generally warm climate, including the Company's recently announced new 'cooling' ceramic tiles. This building product is a new type of exterior ceramic tile designed to cool indoor temperatures of buildings. The new cooling ceramic tile series is designed as a stone pattern with a look of natural décor and luxury with richer patterns than organic stone materials. The Company is in the final stages of testing the new product and receiving its certification.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) ("Ideanomics" or the "Company"), has today announced an exclusive agreement with Yunnan Energy to establish a joint venture to promote Electric Vehicle (EV) enablement within the Province, and into South East Asia through the province's designation as China's 'belt and road' partner.

The agreement provides for the establishment of a joint venture between Ideanomics and Yunnan Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd., a state-owned entity currently ranked as 219 in China's top 500 enterprises of 2019. The joint venture will exclusively promote the adoption of EV heavy trucks in the mining-centric province, as well as for Buses, Logistic Vehicles, and Taxis, as part of Ideanomics' MEG division's S2F2C (Sales-to-Financing-to-Charging) program. The JV anticipates leading the China market in this area, and extending its capabilities in China beyond Yunnan province, as well as into the ASEAN region, where Yunnan is the official "belt and road" sponsor and where Ideanomics has an interest in Malaysia's EV manufacturer Treeletrik.

Additionally, the parties will establish a development fund with resources from Yunnan province with two key objectives: 1) EV acquisition to include an operational company for the benefit of the leasor; and 2) Investment into cleantech mobile energy related projects identified by the joint venture, including investment into the construction and management of power grid infrastructure in South Asia and South East Asia to deliver the fast-charging and energy storage solutions required to support the EV industry.

"Yunnan province is an important keystone province, due to its extensive mining activities and its position as the sponsor for China's Belt and Road activities in South East Asia. This agreement, an extension to our recently announced Taxi deal, brings together Ideanomics' MEG division and Yunnan province with a shared objective of enabling commercial EV at scale in China and the ASEAN region," said Alf Poor, CEO of Ideanomics. "Together with the team at Yunnan Energy, we have developed objectives to significantly accelerate commercial EV adoption in China and South East Asia, and to invest in technologies and operating companies that make clean mobile energy a viable proposition."

Ideanomics will begin cooperation with Yunnan Energy immediately and expects to have its joint venture operational in early 2020. Yunnan Energy and MEG will provide the management resources for the JV, leveraging existing personnel in both organizations.
