 One of the major revisions to the revised Provisions is expanding their application to cover indirect overseas offering and listing, as is consistent with the Trial Measures. The revised Provisions require that, including, but not limited to, (a) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities, including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level; and (b) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations.

Restriction on Foreign Ownership

Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Industries Guidance Catalog (2017 Revision), or the 2017 Catalogue, which was amended by the NDRC and the MOFCOM, and became effective on July 28, 2017 replacing the Foreign Investment Industries Guidance Catalog (2015 Revision). The 2017 Catalogue classifies the various industries into three categories: encouraged, restricted and prohibited. Our company’s primary products, nutraceutical products, are encouraged industries for foreign investors.

The Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (Foreign Investment Access Negative List) set forth in the 2017 Catalogue was replaced by the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List) (2018 Version), or the 2018 Negative List, promulgated on June 28, 2018 with effect on July 28, 2018, which imposes the same restriction and prohibition on foreign investors. On June 30, 2019, the MOFCOM and the NDRC jointly released the Catalog of Industries Encouraging Foreign Investment (2019 Version), or the 2019 Encouraged Catalog, which became effective on July 30, 2019 and replaced the previous list of the industries in which foreign investment is encouraged to invest under the 2017 Catalogue, and the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List) (2019 Version), or the 2019 Negative List, which became effective on July 30, 2019 and replaced the 2018 Negative List.
