(“Yongtai”) – a leading manufacturer of fluorine-containing fine chemicals in the industry – to act as the Depositary Bank for its Global Depositary Receipt (“GDR”) Program.

Yongtai’s GDR Program was established in connection with a US$70 million initial public offering of its GDRs, priced at US$9.41 per GDR.
