Under the agreement, Huarong will replace the five companies as the debtor of the Industry and Commerce Bank of China, one of the leading banks in the country. At the same time, Huarong will hold part of the equities of the five companies, namely Panda Electronics (Group) Co., China Cement Plant, Nanjing Steel and Iron (Group) Co., Jiangsu Glass (Group) Co. and Yangzhou Diesel Plant.
