ABOUT CHINAGROWTH NORTH ACQUISITION CORPORATION
ChinaGrowth North Acquisition Corporation is a Cayman Islands company that
completed its initial public offering on January 23, 2007. CGNAC was formed
for the purpose of acquiring, through a stock exchange, asset acquisition or
other similar business combination, or control, through contractual
arrangements, an operating business having its primary operations in the
People's Republic of China in any city or province north of the Yangtze River.
However, in the event ChinaGrowth South Acquisition Corporation, an entity
formed by our principals simultaneously with our incorporation, executes a
definitive acquisition agreement, then CGNAC may pursue acquisition
opportunities south of Yangtze River. CGNAC is a foreign private issuer, whose
preliminary proxy materials are not subject to review by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
ABOUT UIB
The Company began its insurance intermediary business in 2001. UIB is one
of the leading insurance brokerage companies in China, which has built a solid
reputation as a provider of risk management services in the Chinese education
sector. The Company was ranked the third largest insurance brokerage company
in terms of insurance commission in 2006 and 2007, according to The Insurance
Intermediary Market Development Report published by Chinese Insurance
Regulatory Commission (''CIRC''). UIB is well positioned to take advantage of
the increasing demand for insurance due primarily to the continued
accumulation of wealth resulting from China's rapid economic growth.
