"We are extremely excited about the opportunity of becoming the first Chinese company and also the first NYSE-listed company to list its shares on the DIFX. This will provide our group with wider market access and a significantly higher profile in the Middle East . While we continue with our business strategy of expanding domestically in China , we believe that a listing in Dubai will provide the group with a foothold into the rapidly expanding Middle East markets and surrounding regions, including Africa , India and Pakistan . Demand for security related products and services within these regions continues to grow significantly. The DIFX bridges the gap between the capital markets in Hong Kong , New York and London ," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Guoshen Tu.
Dubai -based Investment Bank, MAC Capital Limited, has been appointed to advise the Company on its listing.
"A listing on the DIFX would extend the number of hours that CSST's stock will be able to trade in a business day, would eventually broaden its shareholder base and would boost the profile of the Company in the Middle East . New investors from the U.A.E. and the other Gulf countries would now be able to directly participate in the phenomenal growth of this company. CSST's various business lines should be in great demand in the region and a successful listing on the DIFX will certainly demonstrate its willingness to become part of the Gulf Cooperation Council's business community," added Robert W. McMillen , Chairman of MAC Capital.
