China Leaders Forum 2011, "How American Companies Can Plug into the Chinese Rocket-Propelled Economy?", Conference Hosted by Golden Networking in New York City

New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 09/02/2011 --As reported by The Wall Street Journal’s Joanne Chiu, U.S. private-equity firm Bain Capital LLC said Thursday it intends to remain a long-term investor in Chinese electronics retailer Gome Electrical Appliances Holding Ltd. How American companies like Bain can profitably do business with China is the title of the kick off panel at Golden Networking's China Leaders Forum 2011, "How American Companies Can Plug into the Chinese Rocket-Propelled Economy?", http://www.ChinaLeadersForum.com, October 7, New York City, forum that will examine the challenges facing American companies that want to grow and expand their business in China, the opportunities to find Chinese investment partners that can provide a much-needed capital injection while opening the Chinese market, as well as important considerations to look at so that the high-powered Chinese rocket doesn’t crash anytime soon.

Bain Managing Director Jonathan Zhu told Dow Jones Newswires the U.S. private-equity firm, which owns a 10% stake in Gome—having invested $420 million in June 2009, when the then-cash-strapped retailer issued convertible bonds—hasn't been approached by any investment banks about a sale. Mr. Zhang, the founder of Beijing Dazhong Electrical Appliances Co., which Gome bought in 2007 for 3.6 billion yuan ($564 million), said Gome is considering acquisitions in smaller Chinese cities as it seeks to boost its market share in a fast-growing retail market. He also said he expects business in the second half to be stronger than in the first, supported by a rise in the number of government-subsidized housing units, replacement demand for home appliances in major Chinese cities, as well as new growth drivers such as smartphones.
