On September 26, SZSE held a training and exchange event on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) restructuring in Hefei, Anhui Province, in collaboration with the Financial Office of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee and Anhui Securities Regulatory Bureau. This event was organized to implement the guiding principles of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and the new "Nine National Rules", as well as to implement the CSRC's "Opinions on Deepening the Market Reform of Mergers, Acquisitions and Restructuring of Listed Companies" (hereinafter referred to as the "Six Articles on M&As").

Recently, the CSRC issued the "Six Articles on M&As", which clearly supports listed companies in engaging in M&A restructuring activities around strategic emerging industries and future industries. This was the first event focused on M&As following the release of the "Six Articles on M&As", with a focus on the new energy and integrated circuit industries. The goal was to highlight the role of the capital market in facilitating M&A activities and to bring together leading industry players to discusses how high-quality M&As can assist enterprises in cultivating new quality productive forces, so as to improve quality and efficiency and strengthen their competitive edge.

The training session of the event provided a comprehensive analysis of the latest M&A policies, market dynamics, and development trends. During the exchange session, representatives from various companies shared their experiences and insights on the development of the new energy and integrated circuits industries, as well as the key considerations for M&A investments. They believe that M&A restructuring is an important way for companies to optimize resource allocation, discover and create value, enhance competitiveness, and empower technological innovation. It also serves as important channels for the mutual growth of quality assets and the capital market. Currently, industrial M&As are becoming mainstream in the capital market. Listed companies adjust their business types and development directions through industry consolidation, thereby achieving synergies, driving transformation, and fueling innovation.

Looking ahead, SZSE will continue to follow the unified plans of the CSRC, uphold a market-oriented approach, and respect market, economic, and innovation laws. We will carry out a series of training and exchange events focusing on key sectors, industries, and regions. These efforts are aimed at supporting national major strategies and building a platform with distinct SZSE market characteristics to serve new quality productive forces and promote high-quality economic growth.
