Item 8.01   Other Events

On April 28, 2011, Global Cornerstone Holdings Limited (the “Company”) announced that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”), the representative of the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering, has informed the Company that as of April 29, 2011, the holders of the Company’s units (the “Units”) may elect to separately trade the ordinary shares and warrants included in the Units.  Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, of no par value, and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share.  Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “GCRSF” and each of the underlying ordinary shares and the warrants will trade on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbols “GHCSF” and “GHBSF”, respectively.  Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into ordinary shares and warrants.

As a result of Citi electing to not exercise the over-allotment option in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, on April 28, 2011, the Company’s sponsor, Global Cornerstone Holdings LLC, forfeited 263,414 ordinary shares of the Company and as a result, there are 9,756,098 ordinary shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.
 
A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the separate trading of the securities underlying the Units is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
