(" China Security," "CSST" or the "Company") (NYSE: CSR), a leading provider of digital surveillance technology in the PRC, today announced that Whitehorse Technology Limited, a wholly owned company by Mr. Tu Guo Shen , Chief Executive Officer issued and sold U.S. $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2012 to a third party investor not affiliated with CSST. In connection with this transaction, Whitehorse and Mr. Tu pledged 8,750,000 shares of CSST's common stock that are directly and indirectly beneficially owned by Whitehorse and Mr. Tu , respectively, to secure the Notes.
