Since the preparation of this major asset restructuring, the listed company has actively organized relevant parties to promote this transaction in strict accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations. This transaction involves the spin off of Beikong clean energy group, a company listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. In accordance with the application guidelines of item 15 of the rules governing the listing of securities on the stock exchange of Hong Kong Limited (hereinafter referred to as “pn15”) and the relevant laws and regulations of Hong Kong, Beikong clean energy group needs to obtain the approval of the stock exchange of Hong Kong for the spin off under pn15 (hereinafter referred to as “this spin off”), And obtain its consent to exempt Beikong clean energy group from the applicable provisions of guaranteed quota under pn15.
On January 21, 2022, Beikong clean energy group received an email from the stock exchange of Hong Kong, believing that Beikong clean energy group did not comply with the relevant provisions on asset spin off and listing in the Securities Listing Rules of the stock exchange of Hong Kong Limited. This email does not constitute a formal decision under the Listing Rules of the stock exchange of Hong Kong.
On January 25, 2022, the listed company received the notification letter from the target company, It informs: “After discussing with the relevant intermediaries of the pn15 spin off, it is believed that according to the written reply of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the general audit habits of the Hong Kong stock exchange, in case of non-compliance with the relevant rules, the written reply of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be deemed that the spin off has not been approved, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will not make further reply / reply to the approval opinions.”
In view of the fact that the examination and approval results of pn15 spin off directly affect the progress of major asset restructuring of listed companies, on February 10, 2022, the listed company sent an inquiry letter to the target company, asking the target company to introduce in detail the specific process of examination and communication between Beikong clean energy group and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the examination and approval of pn15 spin off and the plan and arrangement of follow-up communication, Specify the specific reasons for Beikong clean energy group’s non-compliance with the asset spin off rules of the Hong Kong stock exchange, and explain the plan for the follow-up work of this major asset restructuring.
