INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT
Merger Agreement Termination
On April 28, 2010, North Asia Investment Corporation (“NAIC”) and Pacific City Financial Corporation (“Pacific City”) announced that the parties had mutually agreed to terminate the previously announced Merger and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) between the parties pursuant to which NAIC would have merged with and into Pacific City with Pacific City becoming the new publicly traded company. The parties determined to terminate the Merger Agreement due to the fact that holders of a significant percentage of NAIC’s public shares indicated an intention to vote against the merger and seek conversion of their shares, and as a result it did not appear that NAIC would have received the necessary vote to approve the merger.
NAIC is now seeking a new target business with which to complete a business combination. If NAIC is unable to complete another business combination by July 29, 2010 (or July 29, 2011 if NAIC’s shareholders approve an extension), its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that it must automatically liquidate and dissolve. The possibility of such business combination not being consummated raises substantial doubt as to NAIC’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, NAIC’s financial statements for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 contain a going concern qualification from its independent accounting firm, Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. The foregoing does not represent any change or amendment to NAIC’s financial statements for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 or to its Annual Report on Form 20-F for such period.
A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing information is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1.
