CCG President Crocker Coulson to Lead Panel at the IR Magazine China Conference

Panel Addresses Investor Relations in the Chinese Market

Beijing, PRC and Los Angeles, CA – December 5, 2008 CCG Investor Relations, a leading global investor relations and strategic communications agency, today announced that agency President Crocker Coulson will lead a panel entitled “Investor Relations in the Chinese Market” at the IR Magazine China Conference & Awards held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing on December 16.

The conference, hosted by IR Magazine in association with the Bank of New York Mellon, offers participants the opportunity to address critical issues facing China’s investor relations community, showcase companies that demonstrate best practices in IR, and provides a forum for corporate professionals to discuss the most pressing and topical issues with their peers and key members of the investment audience. The conference will feature an awards ceremony and several panel discussions related to practicing IR in China.

“The global financial crisis has created unprecedented challenges for IR professionals and is the first time many Chinese public companies have experienced a major economic contraction,” Coulson said. “This year’s conference provides a timely forum on how management can preserve investor confidence and manage expectations during the current market turbulence. As strong believers in the secular China growth story, CCG is committed to helping companies from the region build credibility and value through superior communications practices.”

Coulson’s panel, “Investor Relations in the Chinese Market,” will explore how and why IR activity in China is different from Western IR practices, techniques for drawing on the principles of international IR and adapting them for the Chinese market, and the types of disclosure requirements IR professionals can expect in the coming years. Other panelists include: Rory Macpherson, IR director, Suntech Power Holdings; Yu Jingjing, IR manager, China Communications Construction Company; and Lin Zhu of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
