Energy Infrastructure Acquisition Corp.
(AMEX: EII) (AMEX: EIIW) ("Energy Infrastructure" or the "Company") today
announced that as a result of the failure by the Company and Vanship
Holdings Limited to agree on revised transaction terms, the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Energy Infrastructure Merger Corporation ("Energy
Merger"), was not able to complete its Registration Statement on Form F-4
and the Company was unable to timely distribute its proxy statement to the
Company's stockholders in advance of the planned Special Meeting of
Stockholders, resulting in cancellation of the Special Meeting. The parties
are considering termination of the Share Purchase Agreement among the
Company, Energy Merger and Vanship Holdings, pursuant to which Energy
Merger was to acquire nine companies from Vanship.
Pursuant to the terms of its certificate of incorporation, if the Company
has not completed a business combination by July 21, 2008, the Company's
directors and officers will take all action necessary to dissolve the
Company and liquidate the trust fund, which contains the proceeds of the
Company's initial public offering. Accordingly, the Company will shortly
begin the process of liquidating and dissolving itself in accordance with
its certificate of incorporation and applicable law. The Company plans to
set a date for a Special Meeting of Stockholders to vote on its plan of
dissolution and liquidation and prepare a proxy statement for distribution
to stockholders in connection with the matters to be voted on at the
Special Meeting. The Company will notify stockholders of the date of the
Special Meeting when it has been set by the Company's Board of Directors.
