The Complaint arises out of a May 20, 2011 press release announcing the Company had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Bain Capital, pursuant to which China Fire shareholders will receive $9.00 per share in cash for each share of China Fire common stock they own or approximately $265.5 million in the aggregate (the “Proposed Transaction”).

The Complaint alleges that certain of the defendants, in connection with Proposed Transaction, breached or aided and abetted the other defendants’ breaches of their fiduciary duties. In addition, the Complaint further alleges, in an attempt to secure shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction, the defendants filed a materially misleading Preliminary Proxy Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The omitted and/or misrepresented information is believed to be material in assisting China Fire shareholders in making an informed decision whether or not to vote in favor of the Proposed Transaction.

Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief on behalf of all China Fire shareholders as of May 20, 2011 (the “Class”). The plaintiff is represented by Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than sixty days from today. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
