About the share reform and directional repurchase
Q: What is the significance of the share reform to Shenma Industry, which is controlled by Shenma Group? The development of the industry has a far-reaching impact. The smooth implementation of the shareholding reform is not only conducive to unifying the value orientation of Shenma Industrial shareholders and forming an effective restraint mechanism, but also directly affects the next development plan.
After the share structure reform, the liquidity of equity held by non-tradable shareholders has increased, the shareholding ratio of Shenma Group has dropped significantly, and the total share capital has been further reduced. In order to introduce a stock option incentive mechanism and implement a series of equity mergers and acquisitions, it is beneficial to the development of listed companies The financial innovation tools laid the foundation. This can not only mobilize the enthusiasm of all shareholders and management to safeguard the interests of listed companies, but also provide effective strategic tools and institutional arrangements for the future development of Shenma Industry.

Lu Qinghai: Solving related occupation and share structure reform are two important tasks that the company needs to complete at present, and only one of them is a task The completion of the project cannot completely relieve the troubles of the company’s development. Related occupation is a historical problem left over between the group and the listed company. Judging from the actual situation of the listed company and the group, there is no other way to solve it in the short term except through targeted repurchase. The stock price of listed companies has been lower than the level of net assets in recent years. According to the relevant regulations on the disposal of state-owned assets, the repurchase price must not be lower than the net assets. balance of interests. By combining with the share structure reform, the interest relationship among shareholders formed by targeted repurchases and the interest relationship among shareholders formed by the share structure reform are combined and considered in a unified plan, and the plan as a whole achieves The balance of interests between controlling shareholders, tradable shareholders and listed companies not only achieves the purpose of effectively solving related occupations, but also solves the problem of equity division.
Through the comprehensive plan, the asset-liability structure and asset quality of listed companies will be optimized, the quality of listed companies will be improved fundamentally, the interests of shareholders will be aligned, the basis for common interests in corporate governance will be achieved, and the company’s equity system and governance structure will be improved , and ultimately promote the long-term coordinated development of Shenma Industry. Therefore, the idea of combining directional repurchases with split share structure reform embodies the principle of respecting history, focusing on the future, and solving problems in the company’s progress with a developmental perspective.
Question: How is the consideration for Shenma Industrial’s share reform determined?
Lu Qinghai: The company’s share reform consideration is the company’s board of directors after extensively listening to the opinions and suggestions of non-tradable shareholders, tradable shareholders, state-owned assets supervision departments, and various intermediary agencies On the basis of various factors, it was determined after repeated demonstrations: first, it conforms to the laws, regulations, and regulations promulgated by the state and relevant competent departments; second, it is scientifically calculated with relatively mature theoretical methods; The company’s plan to solve related occupation by directional repurchase fully considers the balance of interests between shareholders of tradable shares, shareholders of non-tradable shares and listed companies; fourthly, it properly considers the company’s current profitability and development prospects; fifthly, it actively absorbs and summarizes The rich experience and lessons learned by many companies since the comprehensive shareholding reform.
After full communication with all parties, the revised company’s consideration level reflects the compensation for the interests of shareholders of tradable shares due to the targeted repurchase. The average consideration level in the market is higher than the average consideration level of listed companies in the same industry and companies with comparable shareholding structures.
