FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
8  March 2010 
 
                        China Gateway International PLC 
                            ("CGI" or "the Company") 
                                Issue of Equity 
 
CGI is pleased to announce that it has issued 2,142,858 new ordinary shares 
("the Shares") at a price of 14 p per Share, that price being a 20 % discount to 
the last reported deal in the Company's shares, which was 17.5p on 22 February 
2010.  The subscription will raise GBP300,000  in cash before expenses. This 
amount will be used primarily to pay interest due on the Company's loan facility 
from Israel Discount Bank with the balance to be used for general working 
capital purposes. 
 
The issue is wholly to three related parties, with equal amounts of GBP100,000 
(714,286 Shares) being subscribed by Omega Properties Limited, a company 
associated with Ken Wills, a director of the Company, which owns 28.21% of the 
Company's issued share capital, by Blenheim Limited, a company associated with 
Christopher Seymour Prosser, a director of the Company, which owns 28.2% of the 
Company's issued share capital and by Laxey Partners Limited, which holds 22.92% 
of the Company's issued share capital and accordingly the subscription 
constitutes a "related party" transaction under the AIM Rules. 
 
The Directors with the exception of Ken Wills and Christopher Seymour Prosser 
who as described above are involved in the transaction, having consulted with 
the Company's Nominated Adviser, consider that the terms of the subscription are 
fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned. 
 
Application will be made for the new ordinary shares, which will rank, pari 
passu with all existing ordinary shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM. 
Trading is expected to commence on or around 15 March 2010. 
 
Following the subscription the interests of the subscribers and the Directors 
involved in the transaction will be as follows:
