1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

China Hydroelectric Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 10, 2006 under the laws of the Cayman Islands to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of equity interests in companies with hydroelectric assets in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). The Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are principally engaged in the operation and development of hydroelectric assets and the generation of hydroelectric power in the PRC.

 

On January 25, 2010, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), whereby the Company issued 6,000,000 units of securities at US$16.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one American Depositary Share (“ADS”) priced at US$14.80 and one warrant priced at US$1.20. Each ADS represents three ordinary shares and each warrant entitles the holder to purchase three ordinary shares for an exercise price of US$15.00. The IPO yielded aggregate gross proceeds of US$96,000. The proceeds, net of applicable expenses, are used to acquire hydroelectric operating companies and assets and to develop new hydroelectric power projects in China, for working capital and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Company does not conduct any substantive operation of its own and conducts its primary business operations through its subsidiaries.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company acquired one hydroelectric entity. The Company did not make any acquisition of hydroelectric entity during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.
