Core Viewpoint - The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has revised the "Major Asset Restructuring Management Measures" to attract long-term investors in the capital market, introducing six major adjustments and twenty-three modifications aimed at addressing pain points in A-share mergers and acquisitions [2][4]. Summary by Sections Regulatory Changes - The revised measures include expedited review processes, installment payments, relaxed lock-up periods, and more lenient regulatory oversight, significantly improving the efficiency of asset acquisitions [2][5]. - The approval process for high-quality companies has been streamlined to allow for a five-day review period, effectively doubling the efficiency compared to previous practices [2]. Private Equity Involvement - The new measures introduce a "reverse linkage" mechanism for private equity funds, reducing the lock-up period from one year to six months after a four-year investment period, encouraging deeper participation in mergers and acquisitions [3][7]. - This revision is seen as a response to the need for private equity firms to adapt to the evolving market landscape, providing them with significant opportunities [5][8].

Market Dynamics - The introduction of the revised measures has led to a more competitive environment for capital allocation, as investors must now decide between companies with announced restructuring plans and those with potential for future mergers [6][7]. - Small-cap stocks, particularly those valued under 3 billion yuan, are expected to attract speculative interest due to the reduced costs and expedited processes associated with mergers and acquisitions [12].
