Asia Focused Private Equity Institutional Investor

A Leading Expert on Asia, More Than A Decade of Asian Transaction Experience:

WHO WE ARE: New York Global Group ("NYGG") is a leading middle market and Asia focused venture capital and private equity investment and corporate advisory group specializing in portfolio Emerging Growth Companies. For more than 10 years, as a growth and value oriented buy-side institutional investor, we have utilized our in-depth understanding of the Asian languages and cultures to assist portfolio companies expanding their growth opportunities. Through co-branded, partnership groups in Asia over the last decade, we help bridge communications and enhance job creation. LEARN THE TRUTH: Since June 2011, our firm has been a victim of corporate identity theft which we believe was caused by certain identified illegal stock short sellers in collusion with certain identified members of the financial media. We have since served as witnesses for authorities while conducting ordinary course of business. We are very pleased with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s determination (SEC site link) published in May 2012 which concurred with us. Read our press release: NEW YORK GLOBAL GROUP WARNS AGAINST CORPORATE IDENTITY THEFT. Also gain additional insight: "THE TRUTH - Comprehensive Analysis of IPO vs. Reverse Merger" (May 2012).

EXPERIENCE: In the United States, we are led by our Executive Committee and our Chairman James N. Baxter, Esq., a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School who has more than 30 years of senior Wall Street experience. Chairman Baxter was the former Head of Far East Investment Banking at Merrill Lynch, former Head of Pension Services Group at Salomon Brothersand a seasoned corporate finance attorney formerly with the global law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell.For more than a decade, our team members have participated in over 200 Asian related projects involving four key areas: corporate finance, venture/private equity investments, due diligence assignments and export assistance.

CAPITAL: With access to more than $500 million in investment capital in Asia and relationships with a wide range of Asia focused global institutional funds, Asian investment clubs and global external investment asset managers, we have served both private businesses and public companies worldwide.

KNOWLEDGE: Contrary to ignorant views distorted by illegal stock short sellers, buy-side institutional investors like us are totally indifferent to whether a company (the portfolio product) has become public through reverse merger or an IPO. Attractive valuation and management integrity are everything. In Asia, the month-long reverse merger process is often viewed favorably as an efficient, certain, flexible access to public capital markets for emerging growth companies while a year-long, uncertain IPO process may have many advantages for larger companies. The NASDAQ's official views towards the reverse merger process are accurate and are available here (video link) in a CNBC TV interview. Also read NYGG Chairman James Baxter's public comment letter to the SEC on the same subject.

OPPORTUNITIES: The facts are clear. Since 2010, our insight into both the U.S. and China markets has led to some successes in market opportunities. In 2011, one of our portfolio companies and a former client of ours, NASDAQ listed Harbin Electric, Inc. was acquired for $24 per share in an $800 million Merger Acquisition (article link for background) advised by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, law firms Davis Polk, Gibson Dunn and SkaddenArps. The Harbin transaction was the largest China based company that was taken private in the U.S. markets in 2011 and has returned 1,200% for its initial U.S. based investors since its initial listing as a public company at $2 per share via reverse merger. Also in 2011, NASDAQ listed China Fire & Security Group was taken private in a $265 million Merger Acquisition funded by Bain Capital, advised by Barclays Capital and Merrill Lynch. It has generated an investment return of more than 220% for its initial U.S. based investors since its initial listing at $2 per share via reverse merger. In February 2012, NASDAQ listed Shanda Interactive was acquired in a $2.3 billion merger acquisition. On March 12, 2012, NASDAQ listed Tudo.com which NYGG executives had provided a TV interview during its public offering, was acquired for $1 billion (BusinessWeek link) . In April 2012, U.S. fast food chain Burger King announced going public via reverse merger (BusinessWeek link) in a $1.4 billion merger acquisition for a listing on the NYSE. Burger King's decision to go public via a reverse merger is due to the fact that "…the company didn't have to go through the time-consuming process of doing an IPO". Again, in our view, an IPO or a reverse merger process has no relevance to a company’s underlying business performance or management integrity.
