The number of shares will be equal to 51% of all the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock of Jeantex immediately following the closing of the transaction and Sanatex will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jeantex Group.

We plan to increase our production for both Sanatex and Jeantex out of this facility."
