Profile – Empire Asia Group Co., Ltd. Empire Asia Group Co., Ltd. is a leading financial advisory and private investment company established in the Year 2000 with business interests and active projects in several business sectors and spanning the Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The company operates on two separate but interrelated levels. On one level, it provides strategic insight, financial engineering and corporate advice to its client companies as a specialist consulting company. On the other level, it often participates in the investment and operations of the business units that it helps to create, adding tangible inputs to the management to help increase revenues, profitability and shareholder value. Empire Asia Group has also created several subsidiary companies in selected jurisdictions around the world and with key partners and affiliates to further optimise its business objectives. With more than 35 years of business experience from around the world, the principals of Empire Asia Group, led by Mr. Pairoj Piempongsant, have distinguished themselves in the fields of privatized infrastructure, conventional & alternative energy, telecommunications, industrial & commercial real estate development, sports & athletic team promotion and general trade & investment. Empire Asia’s offices are located in Bangkok, Thailand and London, UK, with representative offices in Beijing, Singapore, Dubai and Washington, DC. Today, Empire Asia Group’s primary strength comes from its strategic focus and expertise in the natural resources and energy sectors (coal, oil & gas, minerals and alternatives), coupled with its exceptional network of world renowned investors, private companies, financial institutions and government agencies that it collaborates with in China and throughout the Asia-Pacific region. This focus has given rise to the firm’s outstanding leadership and participation in several recent high-profile transactions in the mining and oil & gas sectors involving classic M&A activities, post-acquisition project expansion & financing and securing long term supply contracts with major customers primarily from China. By employing this “total business” approach and execution principle to its assignments and investments, Empire Asia Group seeks always to achieve the vitally important first-in advantage in emerging markets, speedy & highest returns on investment and rapid share price appreciation for its clients and investment partners. Primary Activities of the Empire Asia Group • Strategic Partnering with Leading Entities in China & ASEAN countries • Capital Raising (equity private placement, debt and project financing) • Greenfield Project Creation and Pre-investment Business Plans • Corporate Mergers, Acquisitions, Disposals and Restructuring • Financial and Operational Due Diligence and Research • Project and Business Valuations and Financial Modelling • Deal Structuring and General Corporate Advisory Services
