TNRG / TIPS NEWS!!! Tianrong Sets New Record Date for Dividend SAN FRANCISCO, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Tianrong Building Material Holdings, Ltd. (OTC Bulletin Board: TNRG) has concluded that confusion exists with regard to its previously announced stock dividend of one share of Tianrong Internet Products and Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TIPS) for every four shares of TNRG common stock owned. In order to clarify and avoid any misunderstandings, the Board of Directors of TNRG has set a new record date for the TIPS dividend of May 20, 1999. Since ownership of stock purchased in the public market place is based on settlement date (trade date plus 3), purchases of TNRG common stock would have to be made no later than May 17, 1999. The Company further stated that the distribution of the TIPS stock will not occur until a REGISTRATION STATEMENT for the TIPS stock has been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. We anticipate that the accountants for TIPS will complete their certification of TIPS financial statements by May 31, 1999. The REGISTRATION STATEMENT for the TIPS stock dividend will be filed shortly thereafter. The Company believes that REGISTRATION STATEMENTS are declared effective historically approximately 60 days after filing. James Tilton, president of TNRG, commented "I am pleased that after months of diligent efforts by Tianrong's officers, directors and legal and financial advisers, the company has been able to work out the many intricate and often cumbersome details that frequently accompany stock dividends of this nature. It is TNRG's belief that spin-offs planned for the future, of other divisions will go much smoother now that we have the mechanics in place. In the meantime TIPS continues to grow nicely within its parent TNRG and we continue to evaluate further potential acquisitions for TIPS that should make the company even stronger and more of a force in the e-commerce world." Tianrong is a business development company that has set as its goal the acquisition of businesses in numerous industries and plans to apply Tianrong's management expertise to quickly grow value in the acquired businesses. Tianrong has announced future stock dividends in three subsidiaries and on a long-term basis may elect to issue stock dividends in other subsidiaries.
