URUMQI, China, Oct. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ – China Lending Corporation ("China Lending" or the "Company") CLDC, a non-bank direct lending corporation servicing micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSME), currently underserved by commercial banks in China, today announced that it has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement (the "Agreement") with Zhejiang Lixin Holding Co., Ltd. ("Lixin"), a financial service company providing financial leasing, factoring, funding, financing guarantee and supply chain management solutions and related advisory services for individuals and MSMEs in the Yangtze River Delta Region.

Pursuant to the Agreement entered into on October 8, 2018, Lixin will make full use of its related resources in helping China Lending revitalize its business through possible reorganization and restructuring as well as assisting the Company to explore potential merger and acquisition opportunities.

In return, Lixin hopes to access China's western regional markets, where Lixin's expertise in financial solutions should resonate favourably with a large body of potential customers. The partnership, in short, complement resources and advantages to generate sustainable growth for both parties.

Ms. Jingping Li, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of China Lending, commented, "We are excited about the opportunity to have Lixin as our new exclusive strategic partner as we try to right the ship for our micro lending business that has been struggling in recent quarters due to changing market conditions and financial difficulties with some customers.
