ATL would only consider selling a minority stake of around 10%, Rajeev Bhardwaj, executive director of the company's US subsidiary, said, noting that foreign investors have limits on the amounts they can invest in Indian companies. "We have been approached by a number of brokers representing different private equity firms from around the globe over the last 12 months," Bhardwari told this news service on the sidelines of a trade show in London. "It is something we would consider but have yet to fully commit to anything." He would not name any of the private equity houses. Bhardwaj said ATL was not currently looking to acquire any business. The company was established in 1988 and is involved in the field of personal ballistic protection products, armored panels, machine tool manufacturing, thermoplastic, thermoset and precision engineering metal parts. The company comprises armouring, component and machine tools divisions. ATL has four production sites in India as well as an office in Atlanta, US. Bhardwarj would not put a value on the company, which has 1,000 employees. Jilin Trust looking to raise CNY 2.5bn via up to 47% stake sale; Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan among interested suitors, source says Date Value Currency Value Sectors Companies Countries Intelligence Grade (M) Description 15-Sep-09 366 US$ Asking price Financial Services Goldman Sachs; JPMorgan; China; USA Strong evidence Jilin Province Trust and Investment Co. Ltd Jilin Trust [Ji Lin Xin Tuo], a state-owned Chinese investment and trust company, is looking to raise CNY2.5bn (US$366m) by selling up to a 47% stake, a company source said. The source said Changchun-based Jilin Trust was initially approached by a number of domestic and overseas investors in 2008, including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and an UK-based private equity firm. The source added that both Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan have since made further inquiries. According to the source, Jilin Trust would prefer working with a domestic investor instead of an overseas one, and will not entertain more approaches from foreign investors at this stage. Part of the reason for this was due to the Chinese government’s rule on overseas investors. “We are a financial company, so overseas investors cannot own over a 20% stake in our company.” The source said that by selling a stake of 20% or lower, Jilin Trust might not be able to raise all of the money it wants. Goldman Sachs China did not reply to phone calls seeking a comment. Repeated phone calls to JPMorgan went unanswered. The proceeds from the investor introduction will be used to increase Jilin Trust’s capital and reinforce its cash reserve, said the source. Jilin Trust had total assets of CNY3bn at the end of 2008. It is managing a trust fund of over CNY30bn. The Jilin Government is the largest shareholder in Jilin Trust with over 97%. A controlling stake is definitely not for sale, as the Jilin Government wants maintain its controlling status, the source said. The source said Jilin Trust has not hired financial advisors to look for buyers, and it would not pursue their services at the stage. “We have received many approaches, and we are in the financial circle. So I do not think we need to turn to an advisor.” The source added that although Jilin Trust could negotiate with investors, the final decision would be made by the Jilin Government. Jilin Trust had wanted to list on China’s A share market through a backdoor listing, and had reached late- stage talks with a listed China-based company in 2008. However, Jilin Trust gave up on the deal because the China Securities Regulatory Commission [CSRC] advised it not to go public. “The CSRC does not want a trust fund company to go public, as it believes that China’s investment environment is not ready yet,” said the source.
