借壳上市门槛有多高？这些硬性指标让多数企业望而却步！

Core Viewpoint - The recent announcement by Zhongji Health to acquire at least 75% of Xinjiang Xinye Energy Chemical Co. has reignited discussions on backdoor listings in the A-share market, raising questions about the feasibility and requirements for such transactions under the new comprehensive registration system [2][4]. Group 1: Backdoor Listing Process - Backdoor listing allows unlisted companies to gain control of listed companies through acquisitions or asset swaps, serving as a shortcut to capital markets [2]. - Ideal shell companies for backdoor listings typically have small share capital, dispersed ownership, and low market value, making them easier to acquire at a lower cost [2][5]. - Zhongji Health's market value before the acquisition was only 2.322 billion RMB, making it a suitable shell for the transaction [2]. Group 2: Requirements for Successful Backdoor Listings - Acquiring companies must have a solid track record, with the target assets needing to have been operational for over three years and generating a cumulative net profit of over 20 million RMB in the last two fiscal years [3]. - For main board listings, the target assets must have a cumulative net profit of at least 150 million RMB over the last three years, with the most recent year's profit not less than 60 million RMB [3]. - The total assets injected by the acquiring company must exceed 100% of the total assets reported in the last audited financial statement before the change of control [3][5]. Group 3: Current Landscape and Challenges - Since 2021, only 14 companies have disclosed backdoor listing announcements, with three failing, and no companies announced such plans in 2024 until Zhongji Health's case in early 2025 [4]. - The normalization of IPOs under the comprehensive registration system has led many companies to prefer direct listings over the risks associated with backdoor listings [4]. - Regulatory enhancements on "cash restructurings" have further limited opportunities for companies attempting to bypass regulations [4]. Group 4: Strategic Considerations - Backdoor listings may still hold value for companies that do not meet IPO requirements or urgently need to go public, particularly in resource integration scenarios involving state-owned enterprises [4]. - The case of Zhongji Health and Xinjiang Xinye Energy Chemical illustrates that such transactions can focus on strategic alignment and resource optimization rather than solely on financial metrics [4].
