Group 1: Control Rights and Governance Structure - The proposal to abolish the supervisory board was aimed at streamlining governance in response to the 2023 Company Law reforms, allowing the audit committee to take over its functions [4][10]. - The proposal was rejected at the annual shareholders' meeting on May 12, 2025, with 43.84% in favor and 54.97% against, indicating strong opposition from the original shareholders [6][10]. - The rejection of the supervisory board abolition reflects the fierce confrontation between the state-owned enterprise and the original shareholders, as it would have weakened the latter's influence in corporate governance [10][22]. Group 2: Shareholder Dynamics and Financial Performance - Following the expiration of the original concerted action agreement in September 2023, Ruian New Materials entered a "leaderless" state, with original shareholders holding approximately 37% of the shares [13][14]. - In 2024, the company reported a total revenue of 1.459 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.74%, and a net profit of 252 million yuan, up 87.60%, reversing the downward trend from the second half of 2022 [16]. - The stock price of Ruian New Materials experienced significant volatility, rising 13.3% after a judicial ruling in March 2025 but falling back to around 39 yuan following the rejection of the supervisory board proposal, resulting in a market value decline of over 20% from its peak [10][11]. Group 3: Strategic Implications and Future Outlook - The entry of the state-owned enterprise is driven by the strategic goal of completing the display materials industry chain, which includes trade, engineering, and shipbuilding [14][16]. - The ongoing conflict over control rights not only highlights the challenges of state-owned enterprises acquiring private companies but also raises concerns about potential adjustments in technology direction and governance structures [22][23]. - The original shareholders, led by Liu Xiaochun, are actively defending their operational control and have increased their shareholding to 15% through concerted actions, indicating a robust resistance against the state-owned enterprise's influence [18][19].
