Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the differences in the recognition standards for "light asset" and "high R&D investment" between the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) and the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), highlighting specific criteria and implications for companies seeking to raise funds through securities issuance [1][2]. Summary by Sections Recognition Standards - Both exchanges have the same criteria for recognizing light assets, but differ in the criteria for high R&D investment. SZSE requires either an average R&D investment of at least 15% of operating income over the last three years or a cumulative R&D investment of at least 300 million yuan with an average of at least 3% of operating income [1][4]. - SSE requires companies to meet both criteria: an average R&D investment of at least 15% of operating income over the last three years or a cumulative R&D investment of at least 300 million yuan, along with a requirement that R&D personnel constitute at least 10% of total employees in the most recent year [1][4]. Fundraising and Use of Proceeds - Both exchanges allow companies that do not meet the "light asset, high R&D investment" criteria to raise funds for projects aligned with national strategic directions, permitting the proportion of funds used for working capital and debt repayment to exceed 30% of the total raised, provided the rationale is well-documented. However, SZSE stipulates that the excess should primarily be used for R&D related to the main business [2][5]. - SZSE has a specific provision that limits the proportion of funds used for working capital and debt repayment to no more than 30% for companies under delisting risk warnings, a requirement not present in SSE's guidelines [2]. Reporting and Disclosure Requirements - Companies must disclose specific details in their fundraising prospectus, including the composition and proportion of light asset characteristics, average R&D investment ratios, and the rationale for exceeding the 30% limit on funds for working capital and debt repayment [4][5]. - Both exchanges require that the use of funds exceeding the 30% limit should ideally continue to support R&D related to the main business [5].
