Business Wire
Astika Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCQB:ASKH) a strategic
acquisition company of service, agriculture and industrial
companies from the Nantong Region in China would like to update its
shareholders on the progression of the previously announced Nantong
Dredging acquisition. Astika Holdings, Inc. is near completion in
finalizing the terms of the acquisition and estimates the final
terms of the acquisition to be announced to the shareholders by the
end of this month.
The completion of the acquisition are dependent on, among other
things, the completion of due diligence satisfactory to the
Company, and the completion of the PCAOB audit under US GAAP. The
parties expect the audit under US GAAP to be completed within
approximately 8-10 weeks. The parties have agreed that the
acquisitions will not engage in any negotiations or discussions
with other potential acquirers and have also agreed to maintain the
confidentiality of all of the acquisitions in order to protect the
acquisition's competitive interests, and the interests of its many
customers and employees, during the period of the acquisitions.
Mark Richards, the director for Astika Holdings stated, "We
believe to be on track with Astika in agriculture as well by
focusing on Nantong’s companies that lower associated costs,
increase the yield and benefit Asia, New Zealand and the world
markets. We are excited about the potential growth of this initial
acquisition for Astika Holdings since China is the largest dredging
market in the world with more than 29% of the $15bn total global
dredging world market (*according to the International Association
of Dredging Companies - IADC) and look forward to accelerating our
future acquisition plans. We appreciate the support and are excited
to lead the Company and its shareholders into the future."
Astika Holdings is in the process of making the necessary
filings in Form 8-K which will be filed on the US SEC EDGAR system
providing the specifics of developments. The new management intends
to position the Company for an up-listing to a higher exchange such
as the NASDAQ BX or NASDAQ, once the Company meets the financial
status and market share price for up-listing qualification." The
Company has begun the process of integrating management and moving
its headquarters to Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.
