Tri-M Technologies to acquire Kingworld Resources

Tri-M Technologies Mon said it will pay $203 m in a combination of cash and new shares to acquire Kingworld Resources Ltd., a private company under contract to develop an oil field in China.

Tri-M Technologies, which assembles circuit boards, will fund the purchase with $23 m in cash and 180 million new shares valued at $1.00 each, it said in a statement.

Tri-M shares were halted from trade last week, when they last changed hands at $0.995 each.

Kingworld Resources is now wholly-owned by Tri-M Executive Chairman Tiong Hiew King and Tiong Kiu King, the brother of another Tri-M executive.

Kingworld Resources signed a production sharing contract with China National Petroleum Corporation in Nov '07 to jointly develop an oil field in Jilin, China.
