After the stocks of the above two companies are terminated from listing, they will be transferred to the National Small and Medium Enterprises Share Transfer System for share transfer.
A-share delisting companies may exceed 40 this year
Before the delisting of the above two companies, there were *ST Bangxun, *ST King Kong, *ST Mengshi, *ST Chenxin, *ST Danbang, *ST Shenglai, *ST Contemporary, *ST Prima, etc. Dozens of companies issued announcements saying that after receiving regulatory work letters or advance notices issued by exchanges, the company's shares may be terminated from listing.
2021 is the first year for the implementation of the new delisting regulations. According to incomplete statistics from Securities Times reporters, there will be more than 40 A-share delisting companies this year.
According to data released by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, 24 companies have reached the red line for delisting in 2022, hitting a record high. Among them, 8 companies have reached the indicator of "operating income less than 100 million yuan + negative net profit", and the effect of the new delisting regulations has appeared. .
Data from the Shanghai Stock Exchange shows that as of now, 21 are expected to be delisted.
Among them, it is expected that 17 companies will be terminated from listing if they hit the financial delisting indicator, and 9 of them will hit the financial portfolio indicator of “deducting non-net profit + operating income”.
In addition, the delisting of Xinyi involved major illegal delisting, and three companies including Andre and *ST Guangzhu exited through diversified channels such as restructuring and active delisting.

Wind data shows that in 2021, a total of 23 companies will be delisted in the A-share market (14 in Shanghai and 9 in Shenzhen).
The number of delisted companies has increased sharply this year, which is related to the new delisting regulations introduced earlier.

Shortened from 30 trading days to 15 trading days.
Most of the companies delisted this year are due to the financial delisting situation, and the power of the strict new delisting regulations has emerged.
Kaiyuan Securities believes that the advancement of the registration system will continue to accelerate the trend of marginalization of tail companies, thereby reducing the resistance to the operation of the new delisting regulations.
The efficient operation of the delisting system will strengthen the survival of the fittest in the market, which in turn will provide a guarantee for the deepening reform of the registration system, and ultimately form a positive feedback from the capital market.
The delisting mechanism is gradually improving
Under the situation of the full implementation of the registration system, delisting will become normal, and the regulators are also continuing to improve the delisting mechanism.
On April 29, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued and implemented the "Guiding Opinions on Improving the Post-Delisting Supervision of Listed Companies", which aims to improve the delisting mechanism of listed companies, strengthen the connection of procedures and optimize continuous supervision, and further adapt to the reform and normalization of the registration system. Delisting requirements.
In addition, the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges issued operating income deduction guidelines last year, aiming to clarify the specific deductions for operating income in the financial delisting indicators.
Analysts pointed out that this move precisely cracked down on the company's assault on "protecting the shell". After the income unrelated to the company's main business is deducted, it is difficult for companies on the verge of delisting to play tricks at the level of revenue.
Previously, *ST Chenxin issued an announcement saying that the company received a letter of concern from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and the accountants hired by the company believed that the income from the paper business should be regarded as "business income unrelated to the main business" as a deduction of operating income in 2021.
After deduction, the company's stocks may be subject to financial termination of listing, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange requires the company to fully remind the risk that the stock may be terminated from listing, and remind investors to trade rationally.
Shenwan Hongyuan said that the delisting system is a necessary supporting system for the successful implementation of the registration system. Only by the survival of the fittest can the registration system play an important role in optimizing the quality structure of the target, realize the balance of investment and financing in the capital market, and form a healthy endogenous cycle in the capital market. An important part of the company's quality.
Guotai Junan also pointed out that a smoother delisting system is an important supporting measure for the smooth implementation of the comprehensive registration system, which can alleviate the pressure of market expansion under the registration system, and at the same time achieve a dynamic balance of the number of A-share listings, and better utilize the resources of the capital market. configuration function.
Under the protection of the normalized delisting system, the implementation of the comprehensive A-share registration system can be expected.
