AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASIA), a leading provider of telecom software solutions and security products and services in China, today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement to sell its subsidiary, Han Management Consulting (China) Limited (''Han''), to Han's management team. AsiaInfo also announced today that it will transfer certain assets constituting its e-government business unit to Pansky Technology Group (''Pansky''). Both arrangements are in line with the Company's strategy to focus on its core telecom software solutions and security products and services businesses. Steve Zhang, AsiaInfo's President and Chief Executive Officer said, ''Today's announcement, together with the recent sale of our human resources and business intelligence software businesses, furthers AsiaInfo's strategic focus on our high-margin core telecom software solutions and security products and services businesses. Going forward, AsiaInfo will continue to focus on increasing market share in these core businesses as we position the company for long-term, profitable growth."
