China Merchants Holdings (Pacific) Ltd
(formerly: China Everbright Pacific Ltd)
BACKGROUNDThe Company was incorporated in Singapore as a private limited company under the name Hotel Tai-Pan Pte Ltd on 27 March 1981 and was converted to a public limited company on 11 May 1981. The Company was officially listed on the main board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX”) on 17 August 1981. Upon the sale in 1989 of its flagship hotel, then known as Tai-Pan Ramada Hotel, the Company changed its name to HTP Holdings Limited.
China Everbright Holdings Co Ltd took over control of the Company in August 1993 and the Company’s name was changed to China Everbright Pacific Limited.
In May 2001, China Merchants Holdings (International) Company Limited (“CMHI”) acquired a 23.9 percent stake in the Company from China Everbright Holdings Co Ltd to become the single largest shareholder of the Company. The Company further changed its name to China Merchants Holdings (Pacific) Limited so as to directly identify the Company’s strong ties with the China Merchants Group. CMHI is listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and is a component stock of the Hang Seng Index.
On 30 December 2004, the Company was transformed into a significant toll road player following the acquisition of five toll roads in China from CMHI. The Company is now one of the leading toll road operators in China and is the largest toll road company listed on the SGX. The five toll roads totalled approximately 330 kilometres and are located in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guizhou province, Guangdong province and Zhejiang province in China. These roads are sited on routes connecting destinations that provide traffic growth opportunities. Besides the core business in toll road operations, the Company is also involved in property development in New Zealand.
Currently, CMHI is the holding company with an equity stake of 72 percent in the issued and paid up ordinary share capital of the Company and is the holder of all the RCPS.
