The Firm recently represented subsidiaries of funds advised by Apax Partners in acquiring the Golden Jaguar restaurant chain (“Golden Jaguar”) in the People’s Republic of China.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Shanghai, Golden Jaguar has grown rapidly in recent years and now has multiple locations in Shanghai and Beijing as well as six other cities across China. The buffet-style restaurants serve China’s rising urban middle classes and offer their customers a huge array of Chinese and international dishes. Golden Jaguar also provides wedding banquet services to thousands of Chinese couples per year. Located in shopping malls, department stores and stand-alone locations, the stores are roughly the size of an American football field, and can accommodate 500 or more diners in one sitting.
The Simpson Thacher team for the transaction included Doug Markel, Spencer Yee and Michael Zhou (M&A), Mark Stein and Marc Hennes (Litigation) and Brian Robbins and Jamin Koslowe (Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits).
