transmit positive signals
The notice jointly issued by the CSRC, the SASAC and the all China Federation of industry and Commerce clearly supports listed companies to raise funds and implement share repurchase through issuing preferred shares, bonds and other channels according to law.
In terms of the companies that have issued repurchase plans at present, many listed companies adopt “bond issuance” repurchase and over raised fund repurchase, and the repurchase funds are no longer limited to their own funds. Industry insiders said that this sends a signal of promising development prospects of the company and plays the role of “pulling a thousand pounds in four or two”.
Recently, a number of listed companies, including Southern Publishing And Media Co.Ltd(601900) , Polaris Bay Group Co.Ltd(600155) , China Molybdenum Co.Ltd(603993) and others, announced that they planned to issue bonds to buy back the company’s shares. Dong Dengxin said that the threshold of “bond issuance” repurchase is not low. “When a listed company repurchases its shares by issuing bonds, its debt ratio must be low, otherwise it will increase its debt burden and affect its normal operation; secondly, the listed company has expressed ‘self-confidence’ to a certain extent, such as meeting the requirements of issuing bonds and having strong solvency. At the same time, this means that the company firmly believes that its share price has been seriously undervalued.”
In addition, there are companies “tasting fresh” to repurchase with over raised funds. On March 17, Sansure Biotech Inc(688289) issued a repurchase plan, which plans to use the over raised funds of 80 million yuan to 120 million yuan to repurchase the company’s shares. The company said that the capital source of the share repurchase was part of the initial over raised funds in the early stage Appotronics Corporation Limited(688007) , Genew Technologies Co.Ltd(688418) , Wuxi Delinhai Environmental Technology Co.Ltd(688069) and other companies have also issued plans to repurchase shares of the company with over raised funds.
Sansure Biotech Inc(688289) Board Secretary Peng Zhu said in an interview with China Securities Journal: “Using the over raised funds to buy back shares can not only boost the confidence of investors, but also reduce the occupation of the company’s funds and reduce external risks. At the same time, the company can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of employees and improve the cohesion of employees by establishing and improving the long-term incentive mechanism, so as to more effectively combine the interests of shareholders, the interests of the company and the personal interests of employees, which is conducive to promoting the stable, healthy and sustainable development of the company.”
