  On January 7 this year, the "Rules for the Spin-off of Listed Companies (Trial)" issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission unified the regulatory requirements for spin-offs at home and abroad, and clarified and improved the spin-off conditions.

In response to the problems reflected in the market, the method of "the use of raised funds in the last three fiscal years of the subsidiary to be split" and the starting period, "the total use of raised funds in the last three fiscal years shall not exceed 10% of its net assets" is clarified. The calculation standard is the basis for the determination that directors and senior executives hold no more than a certain number of shares in the subsidiary to be split.
