TSX: HE

VANCOUVER, April 19 /CNW/ - Hanwei Energy Services Corp. ("Hanwei" or the "Company") announces a non-brokered private placement offering of up to 10,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") at a price of $0.35 per Share, which represents a five-day volume weighted average trading price (including April 19, 2010), for gross proceeds of up to $3,500,000 (the "Offering"). Proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund the Company's joint venture with Ershigs Inc. ("Hanwei Ershigs"), and for operating costs and general working capital.

The Company's founder, President, CEO and principal shareholder, Mr. Fulai Lang, has indicated that he intends to subscribe for up to 6,000,000 Shares under the Offering, representing up to 60 percent of the Offering and up to 7.6 percent of the number of Shares issued and outstanding assuming the maximum of the Offering is completed. As of April 19, 2010, Mr. Lang owns a total of 11,116,800 Shares, representing approximately 16.1 percent of the outstanding number of Shares on a non-diluted basis. Mr. Lang also holds options to acquire up to 100,000 Shares at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

"We are taking all the appropriate actions to put the Company back on the path to profitability," stated Mr. Lang. "We have a recognized quality brand in our core FRP markets. We continue to make progress on restructuring our wind business and our management team is focused on the tasks at hand, which gives me every confidence that our efforts will be successful and that Hanwei will emerge from this downturn a stronger company. As a sign of my belief, commitment and support of the company, I have elected to make further investment in Hanwei."

Certain other directors and senior officers of the Company may also subscribe for Shares under the Offering that would represent an aggregate of less than 1 percent of the number of Shares issued and outstanding.

The proposed purchase of Shares by the Company's directors, senior officers, and control persons constitutes a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). However, exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements for a related party transaction is expected to be available to the Company as the fair market value of the expected subscriptions from the Company's directors, senior officers, and control persons will not exceed 25 percent of the Company's market capitalization.

The completion of the Offering is subject to TSX approval. The Company expects to complete the Offering in May 2010.
