Details
Private Equity in Hong Kong and China - Fourth Edition includes two additional chapters:
1. Fund formation in Hong Kong under the open-ended fund company ("OFC") and the limited partnership fund ("LPF") as tax incentives and regimes introduced by the Hong Kong government to encourage redomiciling overseas funds back to Hong Kong; and
2. How the increase in global sanctions beginning in February 2022 as a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine is affecting private equity in China.
Private Equity in Hong Kong and China provides its readers with an overview of the main issues, common procedures, and documentation involved in each stage of a private equity investment. The term ‘private equity’ usually refers to an equity investment in private companies that are not quoted on a stock exchange. However, Hong Kong in recent years has also witnessed an increasing interest of private equity investors in participating in public companies’ privatisation and PIPE (private investment in public equity). There are a number of investment strategies including but not limited to, venture capital, management and leveraged buyouts, management buy-ins, rescues, and expansion capital.

Venture capital is one of the most common strategies adopted in Hong Kong. Written by senior legal practitioners with established practice in this area, Private Equity in Hong Kong and China is structured with the aim to provide a step-by-step guide for an easy grasp of key concepts and to provide useful insight into an investment strategy. Sample transaction documents with explanatory notes are also included to assist readers to gain a thorough understanding in a systematic manner. This book is an indispensable guide for legal practitioners, business investors, students, or to anyone at all who deals with this area of law.
