JC Master Performance | JC Master Supports Chizhou State-owned Assets in Successfully Acquiring Controlling Interest in Baoli International


Recently, the Chizhou Touke Equity Investment Fund Partnership (a limited partnership) — hereinafter referred to as “Chizhou Touke,” with the Chizhou Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission as its actual controller — completed the closing of a transaction to acquire control of Jiangsu Baoli International Investment Co., Ltd., an A-share listed company (“Baoli International,” stock code “300135”), through an agreement‑based transfer. This transaction is one of the few successful cases of acquiring controlling interest in a listed company via agreement‑based transfer since the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued its “Six Measures on M&A” last year, and it also serves as a notable example of how local state‑owned capital can optimize resource allocation through mergers and reorganizations, providing a vital platform for the development of regional industries.

 

In this acquisition, JC Master served as legal counsel to the acquiring party, Chizhou Touke, providing end-to-end legal services that encompassed preliminary feasibility analysis, transaction structure design, legal due diligence, negotiation support, drafting and revising transaction documents, filing notifications for concentrations of undertakings, facilitating communication with relevant regulatory authorities, and overseeing closing execution. The JC Master team earned high recognition and acclaim from clients and all parties involved through its professional expertise and exceptional service.
 

 

The project leader, Attorney Xu Guojin, and the project counsel, Attorney Wei Yan, provided comprehensive legal services for this transaction. Attorney Wang Yuehua rendered legal advice on the filing of the operator concentration notification for this matter. The project team also included Attorneys Liu Xiaoqian, Chai Yeqiao, and Ye Yalei.
 

 

Following JC Master’s support for Liyang State‑Owned Assets in acquiring controlling interest in Jiangsu Tianmuhu Tourism Co., Ltd. (“Tianmuhu,” stock code “603136”), this transaction once again underscores JC Master’s expertise in the M&A and restructuring of listed companies.

 

As a law office that has been deeply rooted in the legal services sector for forty years, JC Master consistently upholds the service philosophy of “putting clients’ rights and interests first and prioritizing professional excellence,” providing clients with trustworthy legal services that help them generate greater commercial and social value.
