GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — PingPong, one of the leading global cross-border payments platforms for businesses, is proud to officially  announce its role as the cooperative partner of the ‘Trade Bridge’, a trade promotion initiative during the 136th Canton Fair. The multi-day event will feature over 30,000 global companies exhibiting goods, and host more than 130,000 global buyers from over 200 countries and regions.

As a cooperative partner of the Canton Fair’s “Trade Bridge” initiative, PingPong has leveraged its global ecosystem to bring over 300 buyers to the event from around the world, particularly Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea and Vietnam. These buyers can easily connect with top Chinese sellers and screen suppliers, facilitating global trade corridors.

PingPong has also created a platform to match Chinese merchants with high-quality global buyers, facilitating 1-on-1 meetings to support both buyer and seller needs. Additionally, PingPong is hosting three online and offline procurement matchmaking events, opening new opportunities for global expansion.

Earlier this year, Canton Fair’s Trade Bridge signed a comprehensive strategic partnership with PingPong to utilize its global ecosystem to help Chinese businesses expand internationally.

Jianqin Shu，Partner and General Manager of SMB Business Group at PingPong said, “At this year’s Canton Fair, we’ve mobilized local teams, partners, and buyers from around the world, including Vietnam, South Korea, Indonesia and Thailand, forming a delegation of hundreds to meet face-to-face with trade companies. This shows PingPong’s value is more than just in payments, it is a global ecosystem of buyers and sellers. In September, we also led an industry summit in Vietnam with over 4,000 attendees to help businesses access global markets. Going forward, we will continue expanding our network to more countries and regions, offering valuable connections and fostering growth for merchants on our platform.”

One of PingPong’s clients is Thai buyer Sumin Tunpeiroh, who is also a representative at the event. He hopes to source new steel grinding machines for next year’s sales, commenting, “PingPong built an excellent platform, allowing us to engage directly with top companies and discover the newest products.”

PingPong will continue to facilitate trade connections during the second and third phases of the 136th Canton Fair, focusing on matching buyers from Thailand and South Korea with high-quality Chinese suppliers. And PingPong also invited top Vietnamese influencer ZhuZhu and leading Thai beauty blogger PeePee to livestream their exhibition experiences during the fair. These livestreams create in-depth opportunities for foreign trade businesses to connect with international influencers, opening a window to overseas markets and consumers, and helping businesses transform in the digital trade era.

The Offering is expected to close on or about October 31, 2024, subject to the completion of customary closing conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering (i) to finance the previously announced conditional redemption of all of its 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “2027 Unsecured Notes Redemption”), (ii) to finance the cash consideration in respect of its previously announced acquisition of the business of Stealth Monitoring, a North American leader in cutting-edge commercial mobile and fixed video monitoring security solutions in the United States and Canada (the “Stealth Acquisition”), (iii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Offering, the 2027 Unsecured Notes Redemption and the Stealth Acquisition, and (iv) with any remaining proceeds, for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions. Pending any specific application of the net proceeds, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds to invest in government securities or cash equivalents.

The Offering will be made in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in the United States only to investors who are reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and pursuant to the prospectus exemption of section 12 of the Securities Act (Québec) for distribution of securities to persons established outside Québec, or outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and upon reliance on the accredited investor prospectus exemption in Canada.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the Notes (nor the Company’s 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2027) in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Notes mentioned herein have not been and will not be qualified for sale to the public under applicable Canadian securities laws and, accordingly, any offer and sale of securities in Canada will be made on a basis which is exempt from the prospectus and dealer registration requirements of such securities laws. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or Canada without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or an applicable exemption from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities legislation.
