Pryor Cashman LLP was a Promotional Sponsor of the DealFlow Media Event, The Outlook for Chinese Companies - A Forum for Discussion of Going Public, Going Private, and Everything in Between, held at The Grand Millennium Beijing from May 9-10, 2012.

Bringing together management teams from public and private companies with dealmakers, financial experts, bankers and attorneys to discuss going public, going private and everything in between, the conference provided education for public and private Chinese companies on everything they need to know about navigating the global markets.

As Chinese companies are having more difficulties raising capital, and getting interest from overseas investors, this event gave them a positive outlook on what they can do to position themselves for the future. Topics discussed included:

• What are the options for undervalued public companies?
• Should Chinese Companies Consider a Dual-Listing?
• What is involved in a "take-private" transaction?
• How can Private and Public Companies raise capital in the U.S. public market?
• In what instances will Companies pursue litigation against someone suspected of stock manipulation?
• How are Companies defending themselves against a shareholder class-action lawsuits?
• What are the legal options for pursuing litigation in China?
• How can Companies Implement Strong Corporate Governance Practices before Going Public?
• How Should Companies Communicate with the Global Markets?
• What are valid reasons to change professional service providers?
• How are Companies positioning themselves for the U.S. Market?
• Case Studies: Going-private Transactions
• How Can Private Chinese Companies Still Go Public on Global Markets?

In addition to sponsorship, Partner Elizabeth Fei Chen, a member of the Pryor Cashman's China Practice Group, moderated the panel "What is involved in a 'take-private' transaction?" on May 9, 2012.
