TORONTO, June 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Boyuan Construction Group, Inc., TSX: BOY, BOY.DB.A), a growing construction company in China of commercial, residential and municipal infrastructure projects, announced today that the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") issued an Order approving the Settlement Agreement reached by the Staff of the OSC ("Staff") with Boyuan. The settlement fully resolves all issues between Boyuan and the OSC in respect of the Staff allegations set out in the OSC Notice of Hearing and Statement of Allegations issued on May 31, 2013.

As approved by the OSC, the Settlement Agreement recognizes Boyuan's cooperation with Staff and efforts already taken by Boyuan to strengthen the company through the improvement of financial processes and controls.  The Settlement Agreement also recognizes that the related party loan transaction in question was entered into further to a legitimate business interest, was fully repaid and no officer or director of Boyaun or parties related to them realized any personal benefit.

Pursuant to the terms of the OSC Order, Boyuan is required to engage an internal control consultant to review the internal control and financial reporting procedures and policies of Boyuan, to make recommendations for improvement and to report to Staff on its review and Boyuan's progress in implementing the consultant's recommendations.  The consultant is required to report to Staff on its recommendations within three months of its engagement by Boyuan, and Boyuan is required to implement the consultant's recommendations within nine months, subject to certain time extensions that may be approved by Staff.

Under the OSC Order, Boyuan voluntarily paid a penalty of $200,000, and was required to make a $100,000 contribution towards the costs of the OSC investigation.

"Today's decision recognizes the extensive efforts made by Boyuan's senior management and Board of Directors to be forthcoming and transparent in addressing Staff's concerns on related party transactions and internal control issues," said Boyuan President and CEO, Mr. Cai Liang Shou.  "Boyuan is committed to improving its internal control policies and procedures and will endeavour to reach a higher standard as a reporting issuer in Canada."
