Date 22/01/2019

Today, on the basis of the earlier public solicitation of opinions, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) officially promulgated the "Detailed Rules for Listed Companies Implementing Share Repurchase" (the "Repurchase Rules" for short). At the same time, in order to implement the relevant institutional arrangements for the "Repurchase Rules", the SSE has simultaneously issued the revised guidelines for the formats of the announcements on share repurchase. On the one hand, the revision of the "Repurchase Rules" is aimed at implementing the amendments to the "Company Law" and the requirements of the documents on supporting the listed companies in share repurchase issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and relevant ministries and commissions, and giving full play to the functions of the share repurchase system; on the other hand, the measures such as increasing the share repurchase situations, expanding the sources of repurchase funds and appropriately simplifying the implementation procedures will pave the way for the listed companies to implement share repurchase more flexibly and conveniently. In addition, to tackle potential violations, a dual prevention mechanism combining market constraints and regulatory interventions will be established so as to ultimately facilitate the formation of a long-term, win-win and sustainable market mechanism.
