The Nikkei reported that CLSA Sunrise  Capital has agreed to sell 31.96% of Baroque Japan, Tokyo-based apparel company which owns several "109" fashion brands, to Shenzen based Belle International for approx. JPY 9.3 billion (USD 96 million).  Baroque Japan and Belle International will form a JV to expedite Baroques business development in China.

AVCJ also reported that, in addition to the sale to Belle,  another 23% has been sold to CDH at an undisclosed price. The transaction represents a full exit for CLSA, which previously held a 54.96% stake.

After  CLSA acquired 83% of Baroque in September 2007, CLSA had previously considered to list Baroque on Hong Kong Stock Exchange and sold a part of its holdings.
