CCG Investor Relations Sponsors Seminar on OTCQX Listing Process in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen

Posted on: Monday, 20 April 2009, 08:18 CDT

LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK and BEIJING, April 20 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- CCG Investor Relations, a leading investor relations and strategic communications agency, announced today that it will sponsor the "Introduction to the OTCQX and IPX(SM)" seminar in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing April 22-24, 2009. For more information or to register, please visit http://www.ccgirasia.com .

The seminar will introduce the advantages of the OTCQX platform (http://www.otcqx.com ), which is the premier tier of the OTC market providing the credibility, transparency and accessibility formerly available only on a U.S. exchange. Founded two years ago by the Pink Sheets, the OTCQX includes ADRs from many Global 500 companies including Roche, BASF, Adidas, Air France KLM, Tate & Lyle and Benetton.

The IPX(SM), a service-marked structure of CCG Financial Advisors HK, Ltd., is a new method of going public designed to capture the speed, flexibility and low cost of the reverse merger or RTO, while avoiding many of the difficulties associated with this structure. The IPX(SM) is a direct listing on the OTCQX platform without using a shell company that also positions eligible companies for a fast track upgrade to NASDAQ (www.nasdaq.com) or NYSE (www.nyse.com).

"The OTCQX provides a great platform for Hong Kong Exchange (http://www.hkex.com.hk ) -- and Singapore Exchange (http://www.ses.com.sg ) -- listed companies from China to gain broad exposure to U.S. institutional and retail investors and build a global brand in a low-cost, efficient manner," said Crocker Coulson, president of CCG Investor Relations. "For private companies seeking access to global investors, we believe that the IPX(SM) direct listing process provides a flexible, low-cost means to achieve the prestige, transparency and access to the U.S. capital markets previously only found through listing on a major U.S. exchange. While the traditional IPO market has dried up during the market turbulence of the past year, a direct listing on the OTCQX platform via an IPX(SM) provides companies with a credible and viable venue for accessing U.S. investors and meeting international disclosure and trading standards."

The seminar is co-sponsored by the Bank of New York (www.adrbny.com), Pillsbury (www.pillsburylaw.com) and CCG Investor Relations and will be held in four cities between April 22 and 24: Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing.

The seminars are designed for public and private company CEOs and CFOs, private equity and venture funds and securities counsel, financial and corporate advisors and placement agents. There is no charge to attend.
