The Trendlines Group

Catalist-listed The Trendlines Group, a medical and agricultural investor, said yesterday that ETView Medical, which it owns 26.46 per cent of, is in an advanced stage of negotiations with an international company.

They plan to sign a definitive agreement soon to sell ETView for a proposed US$16 million (S$21.6 million).

Trendlines said the sale will be based on a structure known as a reverse triangular merger, which will lead to ETView delisting from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

The fair value of the group's holdings in the firm was about US$1.3 million as at March 31. After the sale, Trendlines expects to get net proceeds of about US$3.3 million, and a gain of about US$2 million before tax.
