Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the differences between reverse mergers and quasi-reverse mergers, highlighting their distinct characteristics and regulatory implications in the context of recent policies such as the "Six Merger Rules" [1]. Summary by Sections Reverse Mergers (Restructuring Listings) - Reverse mergers involve a non-listed company acquiring control of a listed company (shell company) through means such as asset swaps, thereby achieving a listing indirectly. This process serves as an alternative path for asset securitization and must meet IPO-like audit standards [2]. - Key criteria for identifying reverse mergers include: 1. Change of control must occur within 36 months, with asset purchases from the acquirer or related parties [3]. 2. The total assets purchased must exceed 100% of the listed company's total assets from the previous fiscal year [3]. 3. The purchased assets must generate over 100% of the listed company's revenue from the previous fiscal year [3]. 4. The net assets of the purchased assets must also exceed 100% of the listed company's net assets from the previous fiscal year [3]. 5. If the asset purchase leads to a fundamental change in the listed company's main business, it may also be classified as a reverse merger [3]. - Other special circumstances recognized by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) may also lead to a reverse merger classification [4]. Quasi-Reverse Mergers (Avoidance Restructuring) - Quasi-reverse mergers are capital operations designed to circumvent the recognition standards of reverse mergers. They achieve similar outcomes to reverse mergers without formally triggering regulatory conditions through methods like staged transactions and financial engineering [6]. - The core logic involves not fully meeting the criteria of "change of control + asset scale compliance" while still achieving asset listing indirectly [6]. - Key characteristics include: 1. No change in the actual controller of the listed company [7]. 2. Asset purchases may occur after 36 months from the initial control change [7]. 3. The main business may change through acquisitions from third parties not controlled by the acquirer [7]. 4. The acquisition scale is kept below 100% to avoid triggering reverse merger conditions [7]. Key Differences Between Reverse Mergers and Quasi-Reverse Mergers - Reverse mergers require meeting all specified criteria, including a change of control, asset acquisition within 36 months, and significant asset scale [9]. - Quasi-reverse mergers typically only need to satisfy 2-3 of these conditions, making them less stringent [9]. - Regulatory recognition and operational complexity differ significantly between the two, with reverse mergers being more standardized and quasi-reverse mergers being more complex and reliant on legal and financial structuring [10].
