3 6 Ke· 2025-12-22 09:32
2025年,全球资本市场的风向标似乎正在发生微妙的轮动。当港股以同比激增700%的募资额宣告"牛市回归",当美股中概股审批重回常态化轨道,中国企 业的境外上市之路似乎再度宽阔起来。然而,硬币的另一面是,在A股IPO持续收紧的当下,已经在上市筹备路上的千军万马涌向境外上市的赛道,机遇背 后的"深水区"依然暗礁丛生:从红筹架构的穿透式监管到数据出境的合规红线,从Web3新赛道的财务审计到SPAC上市后的估值管理,每一个环节的认知偏 差都可能成为企业境外上市路上的"阿喀琉斯之踵"。 在此背景下,由中伦律师事务所、36氪、RET睿意德、氪睿丰远及容诚会计师事务所、五大机构强强联手发起的"IPO加速营"于12月17日在上海陆家嘴正式 开营,并举行了大咖云集的首场港美股IPO专题沙龙。 活动现场图 活动伊始,发起方代表中伦律师事务所资深合伙人李海容致欢迎辞,李海容律师在23年的执业过程中着眼全球视野,致力于境内外资本市场、IPO 及 SPAC 上市、海外投资及一带一路、并购重组、债务重组及破产重整、争议解决业务领域,为客户提供不同发展阶段的全方位专业法律服务,曾主办数十个境内外 上市及上市公司并购重组项目。 在开场致辞中 ...
企业境外上市前在香港公司层面上实施员工持股计划(ESOP)需要申报哪些合规手续?
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-12-11 02:25
37号文与7号文的核心差异在于适用的企业上市阶段,二者分别对应境外上市前、后的股权激励外汇管理需求,定位清晰且互不重叠。 37号文(汇发〔2014〕37号):全称为《国家外汇管理局关于境内居民通过特殊目的公司境外投融资及返程投资外汇管理有关问题的通知》,主要适用于 企业上市前的股权激励场景,尤其针对通过特殊目的公司(SPV)搭建红筹架构的情况。其核心功能是解决境内居民个人境外持股的合规性问题,同时打 通境外投资资金调回境内的合法通道,是红筹架构下上市前股权激励的"基础合规保障"。 7号文:全称为《国家外汇管理局关于境内个人参与境外上市公司股权激励计划外汇管理有关问题的通知》,是专门规范境外上市后股权激励计划的文 件。它明确了从外汇登记到资金划转的全流程操作规则,为上市后企业开展员工股权激励提供了清晰的合规指引。 一、法律法规定位 二、登记主体与流程 三、适用对象与场景 四、资金管理与账户要求 由于适用场景不同,37号文与7号文在登记主体、办理时机及流程要求上存在显著区别,企业需根据自身阶段准确把握。 公司准备在境外上市时,若想在香港公司层面对大陆员工实施股权激励,需要申报哪些合规手续。要解答这一问题,首先需明 ...

Group 2: Structural Choices for Restructuring - The choice of listing structure is the starting point for restructuring, influenced by the intended listing location, industry policies, shareholder backgrounds, and capital strategies [11]. - Types of structures include: - Domestic Structure: For purely domestic companies without foreign investment restrictions, suitable for China's A-shares [12]. - Red Chip Structure: For companies planning to list abroad or with foreign shareholders, typically involving a holding company in offshore jurisdictions [12]. - H-share Structure: Direct issuance of H-shares by domestic companies, requiring approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission [12]. - Equity Control Model: For industries without foreign investment restrictions, where a foreign holding company directly controls domestic operations [12]. - VIE Structure: For industries with foreign investment restrictions, using agreements to achieve control and financial consolidation [12]. Group 3: Red Chip Structure and Shareholder Exit Arrangements - The core process of establishing a red chip structure involves transferring domestic rights into an offshore framework, which includes cross-border transfer of shareholder rights [14]. - Common paths for establishing a red chip structure include: - "Two-step" approach: First, introducing foreign investors to increase capital in the domestic operating company, then having the offshore holding company acquire the joint venture [14]. - Founder identity adjustment: Founders obtaining offshore identities to set up companies abroad and reinvest [14]. - VIE structure: Using agreements to control domestic companies in restricted sectors [14]. - Shareholder exit methods involve founders and management establishing offshore holding entities and completing foreign exchange registration as per regulatory requirements [16].

Group 5: Pre-IPO Financing Process - The Pre-IPO financing process consists of several stages: 1. **Initiation and Preparation**: Internal decisions on financing intentions, target valuations, and preparation of necessary materials [57][58]. 2. **Market Promotion and Initial Contact**: Conducting non-public roadshows to gauge investor interest and negotiate terms with potential lead investors [61][63]. 3. **Due Diligence and Agreement Negotiation**: Comprehensive due diligence covering business, financial, and legal aspects, followed by negotiations on investment agreements [64][67]. 4. **Closing and Post-Investment Management**: Meeting closing conditions, transferring funds, and initiating post-investment management activities [68][70].

纳斯达克上市流程五个阶段:第2-6步 从红筹架构到递交招股说明书
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-10-30 12:00
Core Viewpoint - The article outlines the steps for companies to prepare for an IPO on NASDAQ, emphasizing the importance of a well-structured framework and compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly in light of recent changes in approval processes for Chinese companies [4][6][18]. Group 1: IPO Process Overview - The NASDAQ listing process consists of five key stages, which typically take one to two months and are crucial for determining the success of the IPO [4]. - A red-chip structure is recommended for companies, as it allows for a robust offshore listing framework that is widely recognized by the SEC [4][5]. - The VIE structure is mentioned as an alternative for industries with foreign investment restrictions, but it faces significant approval limitations, with only three approvals per year from the Chinese regulatory body [7]. Group 2: Structural Framework - The initial step involves establishing a holding company in the Cayman Islands, which will control a Hong Kong company that, in turn, forms joint ventures or wholly foreign-owned enterprises with domestic companies [5]. - This structure facilitates offshore consolidation, fundraising, and risk isolation, creating a clear chain from the founding team to investors [6]. Group 3: Audit and Legal Compliance - Auditors can begin their work concurrently with the accounting process, which typically takes one to three months depending on the complexity of the business [7]. - Legal opinions from both Chinese and Cayman lawyers are necessary, especially for sensitive industries, to ensure full disclosure of regulatory attitudes and potential impacts [8][9]. Group 4: SEC Submission Strategy - The submission of the prospectus should be done confidentially to avoid delays caused by potential whistleblower reports, which can halt the review process [18][20]. - Companies must ensure that all risks, even minor ones, are disclosed to demonstrate responsibility to U.S. investors, as the SEC focuses on the authenticity of the information provided [12][14]. Group 5: Final Steps and Future Considerations - Once the fourth step is 30% to 50% complete, the fifth step can commence, involving due diligence by U.S. brokers and the submission of the listing application [15][16]. - Companies should consider their stock code carefully, as it can impact future global operations and fundraising efforts [17].
红筹架构设立步骤拆解:企业境外上市的流程
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-10-16 07:10
Core Insights - The red-chip structure has become the preferred option for Chinese companies to access overseas capital markets due to its flexible financing channels and efficient listing paths [1] Group 1: Preparation Phase - The foundation of the structure involves compliance checks and entity planning, including a thorough review of domestic assets, business qualifications, intellectual property ownership, and related party transactions to avoid equity flaws or compliance risks [3] - Companies must determine the registration location of the offshore holding entity based on the regulatory requirements of the intended listing destination, with common choices being tax-friendly regions like the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands (BVI) [3] - It is essential to clarify the shareholder structure in advance, specifying the equity ratios and exit mechanisms for the founding team and investors to facilitate the subsequent structure setup [3] Group 2: Core Setup Phase - The first step involves registering two layers of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in the chosen offshore region, with the top layer as the listing entity (usually registered in the Cayman Islands) and the lower layer as the holding entity (typically registered in BVI), creating a control chain of "Cayman Company → BVI Company → Domestic Entity" [3] - Control over domestic operations can be achieved through "Variable Interest Entity (VIE)" agreements or equity acquisitions, with VIE being common in light asset and foreign-restricted industries (e.g., internet, education) to transfer operational decision-making and profit rights [3] - For industries with relaxed foreign access, direct equity acquisition of domestic entities by the offshore SPV can complete the equity control loop, while ensuring compliance with foreign exchange registration (e.g., ODI filing) for cross-border fund flows [3] Group 3: Finalization Phase - The focus during this phase is on compliance review and structure optimization, requiring companies to engage cross-border legal and accounting teams to audit structural documents (e.g., articles of association, control agreements, acquisition agreements) to ensure adherence to domestic and foreign regulatory requirements [4] - Companies must also complete financial statement consolidation and tax planning to ensure the structure operates efficiently during subsequent financing and listing processes [4] - The establishment of a red-chip structure involves multiple professional fields, including cross-border law, foreign exchange, and taxation, making the process complex with a low margin for error [4]
