December 1, 2004 Full PDF
Jack Lange's article, "Planning Holds Key to Exits in China," is featured in the November 2004 International Financial Law Review. The article advises foreign investors on how to structure deals to make the exit process as smooth as possible. Jack notes that although exiting transactions is a slower process than most foreign investors wish, changes are emerging that are helping to bring a steady evolution of the legal and commercial framework for private equity and M&A in China. He says that advance planning and structuring at the time investments are made will help guarantee successful exits. Jack also cautions investors to select partners wisely. He notes that the motivations and abilities of the management and founding shareholders who operate the business are often more influential than transaction structure and market conditions in determining whether investors can make a successful exit from a deal.
