CD International Subsidiary in Agreement with AEGEA, Inc. to Provide EB-5 Funding Program Consulting Services for Expansive Florida Real Estate Development Project

DEERFIELD BEACH, Florida, October 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

CD International Enterprises, Inc. ("CD International") (OTCQB: CDII), a U.S. based company that produces, sources, and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas, and provides business and financial corporate consulting services, today announced that Capital One Resources, Ltd., a Brunei company with operations in Shanghai, China , has entered into an agreement with AEGEA, Inc. ("AEGEA") to provide consulting services in China related to their planned EB-5 funding program for a mega-resort destination and international community in Florida.  Capital One Resources is owned and operated by CD International's wholly owned subsidiary CDI Shanghai Management Co. Ltd., a Chinese limited liability company.  

China is now the dominant market for EB-5 investors.  The number of Chinese EB-5 applicants, which has been growing since 2008, represented over 80 percent of the 2012 applicant pool that generated a reported $1.8 billion in total investment.  Additionally, the vast majority of all EB-5 investments come through commercial real estate projects, whether it is a retail, office space or mixed-use projects.

Under the USCIS EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, certain foreign investors, who can demonstrate that their at-risk investments are creating U.S. jobs, become eligible to apply for conditional lawful permanent residency in the United States. The purpose of the EB-5 program is to help boost the U.S. economy through foreign investment, by creating jobs and providing venture capital. After making the investment, the qualifying investor, their spouse and their unmarried children under the age of 21 years old will receive conditional green cards for two years, at which time the investor and his or her family may be eligible for permanent residency.

The minimum EB-5 qualifying investment is $500,000, provided the project is located in a TEA (Targeted Employment Area), which is a region in the U.S. designed as rural or with high unemployment.  It is anticipated that AEGEA will qualify as TEA and the securities offered in this EB-5 Program will not be sold in the U.S. sold pursuant to the exemption from registration under Regulation S.

Commenting on this agreement, Dr. James Wang, CEO of CD International, stated, "We are very excited to work with AEGEA as we expand our China-based consulting efforts in this area. EB-5 projects represent a unique opportunity for our company to leverage our resources and skill set in China to attract outbound investments. Through our infrastructure and extensive network in China, we believe we can provide a gateway for companies seeking to fund opportunities through this program with capital from China.  We have been working diligently to lay the groundwork for this new consulting opportunity in recent months and we are excited to begin with AEGEA to build what we see as a very profitable and long-term revenue stream for our consulting business."

"We believe our agreement with Capital One represents a significant step forward in building the foundation for our EB-5 program in China.  Capital One and its parent companies have over a decade of experience in the complexities of cross border transactions and an extensive network of contacts in China making them well positioned to help spearhead our efforts in China.  The vast majority of EB-5 investors have historically come from China, and I believe this trend will continue.  As a public company, and having a broker-dealer as our placement agent, we feel that our project gives Chinese investors an added layer of oversight," stated AEGEA's President and CEO, Keith Duffy.
