BEIJING, May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambow Education Holding Ltd. ("Ambow" or the "Company" NYSE: AMBO), a leading national provider of educational and career enhancement services in China, today announced that GL Asia Mauritius II Cayman Limited ("GLA"), an affiliate of Avenue Asia Capital and a shareholder of the Company, filed a petition on April 23, 2012 in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, the Company's jurisdiction of organization, to request an order to wind up the Company and other remedies.

The Company firmly believes that there is no basis for any of GLA's claims, and that the filing of the petition and the relief it seeks are wholly inappropriate. The Company has engaged Cayman Islands legal counsel and intends to vigorously contest GLA's petition.
