Public Offering Services

The need for actionable intelligence on global capital market developments has never been stronger in China as more Chinese companies seek to raise capital on more exchanges around the globe. Recent Initial Public Offering ("IPO") activity indicates that Europe, London, Tokyo and Toronto have joined the traditionally favored exchanges in Hong Kong, Singapore and New York for ambitious Chinese companies with worldwide aspirations.

Other than the local stock exchanges in Shanghai (The Shanghai Stock Exchange) , Shenzhen (The Shenzhen Stock Exchange) and Hong Kong (The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong) in China, the following are major capital markets offering choices for Chinese companies planning to go public overseas:

• The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the United States
• London Stock Exchange (LSE) in the United Kingdom
• Euronext in Europe
• Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) in Canada
• Tokyo Stock Exchange in Japan
• Singapore Exchange (SGX) in Singapore

However, the fast evolving global regulatory environment since the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has introduced new complexity to listing decisions. Chinese companies must now:

• perform intensive analysis and comparison of listing requirements among different exchanges
• allow greater lead time to make the necessary preparations
• prepare for increasing competition for funding.
