Recently, we met some problems on information disclosure during the course of examining and approving the listing of the B-shares. Hereby notify the relevant matters as follows:
1. According to Article 9 of the Rules for the Implementation1 of Information Disclosure of the Listed Company(for trial implementation) promulgated2 by China Securities Regulatory Commission in 1993, issuers shall work out the list announcement before listing. Financial data in the list announcement is valid3 for 180 days. According to Article 10 of the Rules mentioned-above, if it is not over 90 days from the end day of issuing to the first transaction day or the prospectus4 is still valid, the issuers could just work out the simplified list announcement, which shall include matters required in Article 34 of Regulations of Stocks, that is the Article 1, 2 and 3.
According to the Rules mentioned-above, the issuer of B-shares could just work out the simplified announcement in the conditions that if the data of finance and account is exceeding the 6-month or 180-day period of validity and it is no more than 90 days from the first transaction day to the end of issuing, at the same time, the matters omitted in the simplified announcement are no big changes during that period. The simplified listing announcement shall introduce the publishing date of the prospectus, the newspaper or periodicals as well as pages in which the prospectus is, but there is no requirement on the materials of financial and audit5 within the period of validity.
2. The issuer's listing announcement shall include all the requirements of the Acticle 34 of the Rules of Stocks. That is to say it shall include the materials of finance and accounting6 and the report of audit in the period of validity. If the finance and accounting materials exceed the period of validity before listing, at the same time it is more than 90 days from the last day to the first day of listing, issuer of B-share shall complement7 new materials of finance and audit. While adding new financial and audit data, the issuer of B-shares shall prepare the accounting statement according to the criterion of accounting, and shall audit the statement. There is no need to work out and to audit the statement and according to the norms of international accountants.
3. Because of the variation of the market, some of the financial and audit reports have expired. So, some issuers of B-shares ask China Securities Regulatory Commission for exemption8. For handling of these problems, we will strictly9 abide10 by the Interim11 Regulations on Management of Issuing and Transacting12 Stocks, Provisions of the State Council on list of the Domestically Listed B-shares of Company Limited by Shares, and rules for the implementation of these Provisions. If there is no special reason, they cannot get exemption in principle.
