Because of the cultural differences and risk factors associated with foreign deals it is not uncommon for US based investors to dictate certain terms and conditions that are unique to these types of investment. One of the biggest areas of concern is investor awareness. For some reason certain countries, like China, do not understand why they should spend money to make retail and institutional investors aware of their company. I describe this observable fact as follows; It is like having a beautiful bride (the company) that you bring to the alter and marry (going public) and then you lock the bride in a closet where no one can see her (no investor awareness).
