The China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the Guidelines for the Supervision of the Shareholding Behavior of Retired Persons from the Securities Regulatory Commission System, clarifying the verification requirements for the participation of the resigned employees The China Securities Regulatory Commission has always attached great importance to the supervision of shareholders of companies to be listed, continuously improved the shareholder supervision system and mechanism, and made great efforts to prevent illegal and illegal “creation of wealth”.

During the implementation of the system, the China Securities Regulatory Commission insisted on cutting its blade inward, and simultaneously studied and formulated a package of system measures to prohibit improper shareholding by system resignees to make up for the shortcomings of the system.

The resignation personnel of the CSRC system used the influence of their original position to seek investment opportunities, the process of shareholding has the transfer of interests, the shareholding during the shareholding prohibition period, the shareholding as an unqualified shareholder, the source of the shareholding funds violates laws and regulations, etc., are considered to be improper shareholding. The second is to strengthen the verification responsibilities of intermediary agencies. In the process of verifying shareholder information, intermediary agencies should comprehensively check whether there is a shareholding situation of resigned personnel specified in the Guidelines and determine whether it is an improper shareholding situation. In the case of improper share purchase, it shall be cleared up. When the issuer and the intermediary institution submit the application documents for the issuance and listing (listing), they shall make a special explanation on the relevant verification status of the resigned personnel of the CSRC system. After submitting an application for issuance and listing (listing), if an improper shareholding situation is discovered or a major media question arises, the intermediary institution shall check and report in a timely manner. The third is to strengthen audit supervision and establish an independent review system. Review the issuance and listing (listing) review process involving the participation of departed employees to ensure that the review process is fair, just, and in compliance with laws and regulations. If clues of violations of law and discipline are found, they shall be handed over to relevant departments for handling.
