In fact, the subsidiary is Sichuan province-based Mianyang Xinchen Engine (XCE), according to a person close to the situation. With registered capital of US$8.6 million, XCE is a 50/50 joint venture between Mianyang Xinhua Internal Combustion Engine, which is indirectly controlled by Brilliance Auto Group, and Hong Kong-based Adwin Investment.
The listing of XCE on the Hong Kong stock market is expected to facilitate the overall listing of Brilliance on the Chinese A-share market in the future, the person said.
XCE plans to raise at least $476 million through this IPO.
