At the end of the year, Shanghai launched a big action in the field of mergers and acquisitions. Today, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government issued the Action Plan for Shanghai to Support the Merger and Reorganization of Listed Companies (2025-2027) (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan)."Because the industry is a typical' big money' industry, that is, high risk, long cycle and burning money, the nature of biomedicine also determines that it needs mergers and acquisitions in the current environment to become bigger and stronger."The science and technology innovation board Journal reporter noted that over the past year, a number of semiconductor companies have indeed terminated the IPO process. For example, Chengdu Ruiyuan Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. terminated its IPO nearly 10 months after the meeting. In addition, more than 20 companies in the semiconductor industry also voluntarily withdrew their materials to terminate the IPO after being inspected on the spot.
It is worth mentioning that the Action Plan also mentioned that if the "chain owner" enterprises carry out mergers and acquisitions around the key links of the industrial chain through enterprise venture capital (CVC), the establishment of CVC funds will be included in the fast track. At the same time, government investment funds can participate in M&A fund investment through common shares, preferred shares and convertible bonds, and make appropriate profits.A 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry will also be set up.The "10 billion yuan M&A fund for integrated circuit design industry" stated in the Action Plan is considered by the market as a supplement to the 100 billion yuan parent fund for the three leading industries.
In this regard, Bu Rixin believes that "chain owners" enterprises, as market-oriented institutions, set up CVC funds and will carry out horizontal and vertical mergers and acquisitions around the upstream and downstream of key industrial chains. "This kind of M&A will help chain-owner enterprises to expand their market scale and enhance their market competitiveness, which is the most in line with the logic of M&A and the basic logic of the Action Plan to encourage chain-owner enterprises to set up CVC funds."The "Action Plan" proposes to strive to land a number of representative M&A cases in key industries by 2027, and cultivate about 10 internationally competitive listed companies in key industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine and new materials."The government's participation in M&A fund investment does not mean that the government will dominate the M&A business, but encourage market-oriented institutions and chain owners to lead the M&A business through the above-mentioned M&A fund or parent fund support." Bu Rixin believes.
