Commenting on the deal, Ms. Koo said, “We are delighted to have the opportunity to act for Yue Xiu on yet another milestone transaction of Yuexiu Group, a long-standing client of the Firm. We look forward to further cementing our relationship with the Yuexiu Group as they integrate and expand their business units across Greater China.”
