Group 1: Voluntary Delisting Process - The company plans to protect the rights of its 111,900 minority shareholders by providing a cash exit option through a shareholder meeting resolution, distinguishing it from mandatory delisting which could lead to total loss for investors [2][4]. - The voluntary delisting proposal requires approval from two-thirds of the voting rights, including two-thirds from minority shareholders holding less than 5% [4][5]. - The cash exit option is set at a price of 1.60 CNY per share, representing a 10% premium over the last trading price of 1.45 CNY per share before suspension, with a total potential payout not exceeding 2.606 billion CNY for up to 1.629 billion shares [7][8]. Group 2: Shareholder Dynamics - The controlling shareholder, New Liyi Group, and the actual controller Liu Yiqian hold 3.275 billion shares, accounting for 66.78% of the total share capital, making minority shareholders crucial in the decision-making process for the delisting [5][6]. - As of July 18, 2025, the company had approximately 111,900 shareholders, with minority shareholders being pivotal in determining the outcome of the voluntary delisting proposal [5][6]. Group 3: Regulatory and Financial Context - The delisting crisis stems from the company's failure to disclose its 2024 annual report and 2025 quarterly report within the legal timeframe, leading to a risk warning and potential mandatory delisting by September 8, 2025 [10][12]. - The company has received a notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission regarding an investigation for failing to disclose periodic reports on time, indicating that delisting does not exempt the company or its executives from regulatory accountability [12].
