small and medium-sized securities companies are still enthusiastic about IPO
Securities companies encountered twists and turns in the listing process, which is not unprecedented before, but it still can not cool the enthusiasm of small and medium-sized securities companies to list.
On February 25 this year, Dongguan securities, which successfully passed the IPO, was quite difficult. It lasted seven years. During this period, due to the suspected crime of Yang Zhimao, the actual controller of private shareholders, its IPO was forced to press the "stop button" until the CSRC resumed the review of Dongguan securities IPO application in February 2021, and finally achieved good results.
In the IPO process of securities companies, the one who pressed the termination procedure was not Wanlian securities. In the termination review IPO list announced by the CSRC, Xiamen rural commercial bank, which is also a financial institution, also terminated its IPO on February 18 this year.
"The adjustment of the listing plan is based on the purpose of equity optimization. It is intended to use the adjustment period to sort out and optimize the equity, so as to lay a solid foundation for the next steady development and re application for listing."
