Jin Jiang International Has Agreed to Acquire Interest in JHJ International Transportation

West Palm Beach, FL – November 2, 2015 – BG Strategic Advisors (BGSA) is pleased to announce that Jin Jiang International Holdings Co., Ltd. (Jin Jiang International), through its subsidiary Balance Global Limited, has agreed to acquire BGSA client YRC Worldwide, Inc.’s (YRCW) 50% interest in JHJ International Transportation Co., Ltd., (JHJ). The purchase provides Jin Jiang International with 100% ownership of JHJ and completes YRCW’s strategy of divesting non-core international assets. The sale represents BGSA’s first sale of a mainland Chinese company.

In July 2011, YRCW management implemented strategies focused on increasing profitability in its North American less-than-truckload ground transportation business. In 2012, YRCW divested non-core assets including its full truckload business and a China based trucking company. The sale of YRCW’s equity stake in JHJ to Jin Jiang Investment represents the last remaining non-core international asset in this series of divestitures. The sale is subject to certain regulatory approvals from the Chinese government.

JHJ is a mainland China-based asset-light 3PL and freight forwarder providing services including international ocean and air freight forwarding, warehousing, truck brokerage, customs brokerage, supply chain management, quality control, and other asset-light 3PL services. The Company increasingly specializes in the higher-margin segments of forwarding and logistics, including the transport of oversized project cargo, integrated warehouse operations, individually engineered transportation and logistics solutions, and complete supply chain integration. JHJ has over 1,200 employees and 77 client service locations in major Chinese cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, and Wuhan.
