NEW YORK and SHANGHAI, May 24 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- CCG Investor Relations, a leading global investor relations and strategic communications agency, today announced that the agency's president, Crocker Coulson, will speak on a panel titled, "How to Go Public in the US: Preparations and Post-Listing Management" at the International PIPEs Conference 2010 in Shanghai on May 25.

The conference, hosted by DealFlow Media, offers participants the opportunity to address critical regulatory and business issues to consider before going public in the U.S. The experts gathered for this panel will help companies understand how to plan an IPO or alternate going public transaction in the U.S. market and how to avoid common legal, investor relations and accounting pitfalls. The panelists' thoughtful advice in these critical areas can assist companies to raise capital effectively and efficiently.

"China managed to weather the global financial crisis much better than most developed countries and has returned to highly robust GDP growth in 2010, drawing the attention of global investors who wish to participate in the China growth story," said Coulson. "Despite recent concerns about monetary tightening by China's central bank and the potential impact of the European sovereign debt crisis on export demand, we continue to see that many sectors in China's economy are well positioned for sustained growth in earnings this year based on rising domestic consumption and ongoing investments in infrastructure that will further integrate China's Western region."

Today, CEOs of small and medium Chinese enterprises have more options than ever before to raise capital and achieve public status - including the new ChiNext board, a vibrant private equity market, overseas IPO opportunities and a variety of alternative strategies for going public.

"Whatever path a company chooses to go public, a strategic approach to investor communications will be critical to continually growing a company's shareholder base, achieving liquidity in the stock, and positioning them as industry leaders with global investors and the media," added Coulson.

"Having helped dozens of Chinese companies make the transition from private enterprises to senior publicly listed companies, CCG has accumulated a wealth of experience in the risks and rewards of varied approaches to meet the strategic needs of different types of companies and their distinct investment stories."

Other scheduled panelists include: Eric Landheer, Head of Asia Pacific, NASDAQ OMX; David Lu, Managing Director, Rodman & Renshaw; Bonnie Zhang, Audit Partner, Deloitte. The panel will be moderated by Alan Wovsaniker, Partner of Lowenstein Sandler.
