LOS ANGELES, July 2 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- WestPark Capital, Inc., a Los Angeles-based full service international investment banking company that specializes in emerging sectors in growth economies, today announced that it completed a WRASP that resulted in raising a total of $13.6 million for China Intelligent Lighting and Electronics, Inc., (Amex: CIL), a China-based manufacturer of a full range of lighting solutions, including high-quality LED lighting products. WestPark Capital helped China Intelligent Lighting and Electronics become a publicly traded company in the U.S. using the revolutionary financing process it created, known as a WRASP. A WRASP is an alternative capital markets transaction process where a private company goes public through a reverse merger, with its common stock trading directly on the NYSE Amex or another senior exchange. In addition to raising capital, China Intelligent Lighting and Electronics gained a listing on the NYSE Amex. During the past year, WestPark Capital has begun to establish an international reputation for providing access to U.S. capital for the funding of Chinese companies.

This innovative approach includes potentially increased market awareness and the visibility of an IPO, while also retaining the cost effectiveness and timeliness of a Reverse Merger.
