Getting Deals Done: The Environment, the Structures and the Future
2:30 PM
The business of reverse merging Chinese companies is maturing. The companies are getting better at disclosure, while the investors are now more than ever driven by fundamentals. Regulatory issues keep cropping up, but deal structures are improving and offering ways around these obstacles. In the background, China's domestic stock index continues to rise, increasing the appetite for Chinese companies in the U.S., but also creating competition for the U.S. capital markets. This panel discusses the operational mechanics of doing a cross-border deal.
