[图书内容简介]
This book approaches the subject of mergers mad
acquisitions (" Mb, A") primarily from a foreign acquirer's
perspective, and focuses on M&A activities carried out by
foreign investors and domestic Chinese enterprises in China's
mainland. As a result, we will deliberately exclude those
China-related MScA deals conducted and concluded offshore in
such jurisdictions as Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States
and beyond. Nor are we going to discuss those deals relating
to special purpose vehicles with funding originated from
Ghina's mainland. For the same reason, we will not include
MKA transactions that involve existing foreign-invested
enterprises as either sellers or buyers, with the exception
where foreign-invested holding companies in China are used
as investment vehicles.
We well understand that MKA is a very complex subject
to write about. It is especially so when the legal framework
governing MKA in China is still in its infancy, and laws
thereof are promulgated by different government bodies and
appear to be fragmented and even contradictory sometimes.
Therefore, we have no intention to cover every aspect of the
existing laws with respect to MKA in China, for such efforts,
if we had taken, would have most likely resulted in confusions
and even chaos.
This book does not intend to be an exhaustive or in-
depth discussion of MkA laws in China, but provides an
overview of the subject for reference purposes only. In
practice, every Mb.A deal is unique, and as such issues
involved, attention paid and laws applied and enforced may
vary considerably from case to case. Therefore it is both
unrealistic and impossible for us to aim at a comprehensive
guide that can be referred to for every case. We have tried to
consolidate and to be brief, and to this end what to cover and
what to omit remain to be our personal judgment and
preference. In consideration of the situation that Chinese M~A
laws are constantly evolving, readers are advised to seek
further and more detailed information and advice with respect
to any specific MScA deals at the time of processes of the
contemplated transactions.
The author would like to wholeheartedly extend his
deepest gratitude to Wang Yi, Li-an and Lilian for their
tremendous timely support and assistance during the course of
writing of the present book.
Given the fact that M&A is gaining more popularity in
China, we enthusiastically hope that there will be more
professionals to take part in various aspects of the exciting
MgcA transactions, and contribute to a more transparent,
consistent and investor-friendly legal framework with uniform
and impartial enforcement of the law.
