Hudson Securities Completes $30 Million PIPE Financing for Chinese Motor Vehicle Company

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hudson Securities, Inc. today announced the completion of a $30 million private placement transaction for Jinhao Motor Company (OTCQB: GIMC), a Nevada-headquartered company that manufactures motorcycles and small engines for overseas and domestic markets at its subsidiary in the People's Republic of China. The private investment in a public equity (PIPE) financing was part of a reverse merger with U.S.-listed Georgia International Mining Corp.  Hudson Securities acted as the sole placement agent of the convertible preferred stock and warrants on behalf of Jinhao, and was an advisor in the reverse merger.

According to PlacementTracker, which is a service of Sagient Research Systems, this is the second largest PIPE transaction completed concurrently with a reverse merger since January 2008.

"The transaction underscores the strength of our cross-border investment banking group's origination, execution and syndication capabilities to address the capital-raising needs of Chinese and other non-U.S. companies," stated Anthony M. Sanfilippo, Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Securities.  "With continued market uncertainty, we're committed to providing an array of financing solutions to serve the needs of micro-, small- and mid-cap companies as well as their investors."

Frank J. Drazka, Head of Investment Banking at Hudson Securities, added:  "We would like to thank Jinhao, Chairman Tsoi and Worldwide Capital, Jinhao's financial advisor, for selecting Hudson to be a trusted partner and participating in the success of this transaction."

As part of the reverse take-over, Jinhao's major shareholder, Mr. Chak Shing Tsoi, exchanged his stock in Jinhao with Phoenix-based Georgia International Mining Corp. for a 95 percent stake.  The PIPE investors are based in Asia, and a portion of the financing was structured to be compliant with Sharia Law.

Hudson Securities offers a range of investment banking and corporate services to non-U.S. companies including public and private placements of debt and equity, exchange listings, non-deal roadshows, M&A advisory and restructuring. The firm also recently completed transactions for Chinese and Australian clients in industries including industrial technology and consumer products.
