J.P. Morgan was the sole placing agent. China Everbright plans to use the net proceeds for the development of its environmental protection business and for general working capital.

The Paul Hastings team was led by Raymond Li, partner and Chair of Greater China, with support from partner David Grimm, of counsel Edwin Kwok, associates Eric Chow, Ada Chen and trainee William Cheung.
