The company reached the agreement with Bank of China, Bank of Beijing and China Citic Bank on March 26. CNMIC will use the money to acquire YTO Group Corp, another large-scale machinery manufacturer in China.

This is the first case of a joint M&A loan issued by bank groups after the banking regulator lifted restrictions last November, allowing Chinese lenders to make loans for M&A purposes.

CNMIC plans to inject 1.7 billion yuan to YTO Group Corp in 2009 for capital and stock increase.
