Sidley Austin Advises Agile Property Holdings Limited on US$400 million High Yield Offering
October 03, 2006

    HONG KONG, Oct. 3 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- International
law firm Sidley Austin has represented Agile Property
Holdings Limited (Agile), a company listed on The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong, as U.S. and Hong Kong counsel in
connection with its issuance of US$400 million 9% Senior
Notes due 2013 including "high yield" covenants,
pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A, with a listing on
the Singapore Stock Exchange.  The high-yield issuance,
which closed on Friday, September 22, marks Agile's first
international debt offering and is the first to be offered
by a Chinese-based company since April this year.

    The transaction was led by partner, Matthew Sheridan,
of Sidley's Hong Kong office. Mr. Sheridan commented,
"It was a pleasure and an honor to work with the Agile
team, this transaction being the second time we have
represented the company. We first worked with Agile as HK
counsel on its initial public offering in December last
year. Partner Constance Choy led the Hong Kong team in that
transaction."

    Agile is a Chinese property developer based in
Guangzhou, China, and is one of the largest property
developers in the rapidly growing Pearl River Delta
region.
