PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - February 02, 2009) - EastBridge Investment Group (EBIG) (OTCBB: EBIG)
today announced it has reached agreements to acquire a controlling stake in
three companies in China with EBIG's preferred stock. The transactions will
close in ninety days, subject to EBIG's accounting and legal due diligence.
Two companies are in the ship building and pharmaceutical industries. The
third one is a diversified holding company. Their net incomes range from
one to two million dollars per year.
Norm Klein, COO/CFO of EastBridge, said, "These candidates are three
medium-sized companies located in Zhejiang, China, approximately two hours
from Hangzhou's West Lake area. They have all been in business for more
than five years. We plan to spin off our majority held companies as
separate public companies as soon as their managements are prepared to do
so. EastBridge will retain equity stakes in their public stocks."
Keith Wong, CEO of EastBridge, commented, "Just like America and Europe,
Asia is facing a severe liquidity crunch as well. Asian companies are
again looking to the overseas' stock markets to raise capital. We are
seeing a surge in inquiries for our United States' IPO service from our
Chinese contacts. We expect to see a very busy 'Year of the Ox' for
EastBridge in the areas of IPO and acquisition opportunities."
EastBridge Investment Group focuses on high-growth companies in Asia,
offering IPOs, Joint Ventures and Merchant Banking services. The Company
targets industries in electronics, real estate, auto, metal, energy,
environmental, bioscience and food retail distribution. To learn more
