WestPark Capital Closes First WRASP
July 2 , 20047
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WestPark
Capital, Inc. announced today the closing
of its first WRASP transaction which began
trading on the American Stock Exchange.
A WRASP is a unique process in which a
Company goes public through a reverse merger
and trades directly on a Senior Exchange
such as the American Stock Exchange. A
WRASP involves a comprehensive set of interrelated
transactions managed by WestPark Capital,
Inc., an FINRA registered broker-dealer.
“The WRASP synthesizes advantages
of an Initial Public Offering and a Reverse
Merger, encompassing the increased market
awareness and visibility of an IPO while
also retaining the cost effectiveness and
timeliness of a Reverse Merger,” stated
Richard Rappaport, CEO of WestPark Capital,
Inc. “The WRASP also enables a Company
to obtain an enhanced valuation through
staged private and public fundings, culminating
in the direct listing on the American Stock
Exchange,” added Kevin DePrimio,
Vice President of Corporate Finance.
Commenting on the listing, Mr. Gui Hua
Lan, Chairman and CEO of the first company
to go through the WRASP process, said, "Listing
on a well-respected, senior exchange such
as the American Stock Exchange marks an
important milestone in our drive to enhance
investor awareness and increase shareholder
value. With the successful completion of
our public offering, we can continue in
these efforts as we now have sufficient
capital to address our working capital
needs and manage growth going forward."
WestPark Capital, Inc. was the sole manager
of the WRASP. A copy of documents relating
to the WRASP may be obtained from WestPark
