广州汽车近期宣布，将通过换股方式实现骏威汽车私有化化, 并实现广汽在香港上市计划。广州汽车由北京天银和香港胡关李罗律师事务所提供法律服务，而金杜以富而德则担任联合保荐人的代表顾问。

Guangzhou Automobile Corporation (GAC), the Chinese partner of Honda and Toyota, has announced that it is seeking a listing in Hong Kong and will simultaneously privatise its 38% owned affiliate Denway Motors by offering Denway shareholders a share-swap.

GAC will sell no new shares in connection with the listing because it will pay Denway's shareholders with its existing shares (worth US$4bn based on the mid-point of its own valuation) so those who now own Denway stock will instead become shareholders of GAC.

GAC turned to Beijing Tianyin and Hong Kong Woo, Kwan, Lee & Lo for advice on this complex transactions. The joint sponsors, JP Morgan Securities, Morgan Stanley and China International Capital Corporation, are being advised by King & Wood and Freshfields.

GAC, headquartered in Guangzhou, is one of the largest auto conglomerates in mainland China. Denway Motors is a Hong Kong-based investment holding company engaged in the manufacturing, assembly and trading of motor vehicles. ALB
