    Summary:

    The CSRC and the Exchange issued the official draft of the new rules on shareholding reduction, comprehensively improved the system of rules on shareholding reduction, and built a benign ecology of A-shares. On May 24, the CSRC issued the Interim Measures for the Administration of Share Reduction by Shareholders of Listed Companies and the official draft of the Rules for the Administration of the Shares of the Company Held by Directors, Supervisors and Senior Managers of Listed Companies and Their Changes, and the Exchange simultaneously issued the guidelines for share reduction and inquiry transfer. This revision comprehensively improved the shareholding reduction rule system, strictly regulated the shareholding reduction of major shareholders, especially controlling shareholders and actual controllers, and resolutely prevented all kinds of bypass shareholding reduction. The rules require the persons acting in concert of the major shareholders and the major shareholders to jointly abide by the shareholding reduction restrictions, and clarify that the controlling shareholders and the actual controllers shall not reduce their shares through centralized bidding transactions or block transactions under the circumstances of breaking, breaking the net, and failing to meet the dividend standards. At the same time, it further clarifies that all parties shall continue to jointly abide by the original shareholding reduction restrictions after the divorce of the directors, supervisors, and senior executives. Through more detailed and strict regulatory measures, we blocked the space for reducing arbitrage, maintained the order of market transactions, and built a benign ecology of the A-share market.
