各省、自治区、直辖市及计划单列市、副省级市工商行政管理局、市场监督管理局：
1. Further strengthening the sense of responsibility in duly registering company mergers and divisions to support enterprise consolidation and re-organisation
为贯彻落实《国务院关于促进企业兼并重组的意见》（国发〔2010〕27号），规范公司合并分立登记，促进公司通过兼并重组优化产业结构，现提出以下意见。
In line with the decision and arrangement of the central authorities for accelerating the transformation of the method of economic development, the pace of enterprise consolidation and re-organisation in the various industries and sectors is continuously accelerating. Company mergers and divisions, as one of the important means of consolidation and re-organisation, are conducive to improving corporate governance structures, promoting the expansion in the size of companies and enhancing market competitiveness; and are conducive to strengthening resource integration and associations between the strong, eliminating outdated production capacity, giving rise to scale and intensive operation, and promoting optimisation and upgrading of the industrial structure.
一、进一步增强做好公司合并分立登记支持企业兼并重组的责任感
Duly carrying out the registration of company mergers and divisions is not only a basic function of an administration for industry and commerce in its capacity as an enterprise registry, but is also a necessary requirement in an administration for industry and commerce's serving in the cause of economic and scientific development, and plays a very important role in supporting enterprise consolidation and re-organisation, and promoting the accelerated transformation of the method of economic development and the strategic adjustment of the economic structure. Administrations for industry and commerce at every level are required, from the perspective of national economic strategy, to treat the support of and provision of service for company mergers and divisions as an important task in the thorough instillation of a scientific development outlook, to further strengthen their sense of responsibility, to fully leverage their market entity access function, to steadfastly insist on the organic unity of lawful administration and service to enterprise development, and to more consciously and actively provide high- quality and efficient service for enterprise consolidation and re-organisation.
按照中央加快转变经济发展方式的决策部署，各行业、各领域的企业兼并重组步伐不断加快。公司合并分立作为兼并重组的重要方式之一，有助于完善公司治理结构，促进公司扩大规模，提升市场竞争力；有助于加强资源整合、强强联合，淘汰落后产能，形成规模化、集约化经营，推动产业结构优化升级。
2. Further providing good registration service for company mergers and divisions
做好公司合并分立登记，既是工商行政管理部门作为企业登记机关的基本职能，也是工商行政管理部门服务经济科学发展的必然要求，对于支持企业兼并重组，促进经济发展方式加快转变和经济结构战略性调整具有十分重要的作用。各级工商行政管理部门要从国家经济战略的高度，把支持和服务公司合并分立作为贯彻落实科学发展观的重要任务，进一步增强责任感，充分发挥市场主体准入职能作用，坚持依法行政与服务企业发展的有机统一，更加自觉、主动、积极为企业兼并重组提供优质高效的服务。
(1) Support companies in adopting various means of merger and division to re-organise. Company mergers may take either of the following forms: (i) merger by absorption, which means that one company survives after the absorption of (an)other company/companies and the absorbed company/companies is/are dissolved; (ii) merger by new establishment, which means that two or more companies are merged into a new company and all of the former companies are dissolved.
二、进一步提供良好的公司合并分立登记服务
Company divisions may take either of the following forms: (i) division with survival, which means that one or more new companies are spun off from one company, with the original company surviving the division; (ii) division with dissolution, which means that one company is divided into two or more new companies and the original company is dissolved.
（一）支持公司采取多种方式合并分立重组。公司合并可以采取两种形式：一种是吸收合并，指一个公司吸收其他公司后存续，被吸收公司解散；另一种是新设合并，指两个或者两个以上公司归并为一个新公司，原有各公司解散。
(2) Support all types of enterprise in re-organisation by merger and division. Supporting lawfully-established domestically-invested companies in carrying out merger or division registration in accordance herewith. When a foreign-invested enterprise is divided, if a surviving or newly-established company is regarded as a domestically-invested company, registration may be carried out with reference to relevant laws, administrative regulations, rules and these Opinions.
公司分立可以采取两种形式：一种是存续分立，指一个公司分出一个或者一个以上新公司，原公司存续；另一种是解散分立，指一个公司分为两个或者两个以上新公司，原公司解散。
(3) Support companies in autonomously selecting the form of the re-organised company. A post-merger or division surviving or newly-established company may, provided that it satisfies the conditions specified in the Company Law, take the form of a limited liability company or a company limited by shares.
（二）支持各类企业合并分立重组。支持依法设立的内资公司按照本意见办理合并、分立登记。外商投资的公司分立，存续或者新设的公司属于内资公司的，可以参照有关法律、行政法规、规章和本意见办理登记。
(4) Support companies in simultaneously carrying out re-organisation registrations. If an application for company registration is made as a result of a company merger or division, the applicant may simultaneously apply for company de-registration, establishment registration or amendment of registration 45 days after the date of publication of the announcement. If separate registrations fall under the jurisdiction of different registries, the relevant registries shall strengthen registration convergence. If hierarchical convergence is required, the higher-level registry is to take the initiative in coordination; if convergence between regions is required, the registry that first received inquiries and an application is to take the initiative in coordination.
（三）支持公司自行选择重组公司类型。合并、分立后存续或者新设的公司，只要符合《公司法》规定的条件，可以选择有限责任公司或者股份有限公司类型。
(5) Support companies in autonomously specifying their registered capital amounts. The amounts of the registered capital and paid-in capital of a company surviving a merger or newly established as a result of a merger will be specified in the merger agreement, but may not be greater than the totals of the registered capital and paid-in capital of the pre-merger companies. If investment relationships existed between the parties to the merger, the amounts of registered capital and paid-in capital corresponding to the investments shall be deducted when calculating the totals of the registered capital and paid-in capital of the pre-merger companies.
（四）支持公司同时办理重组登记。因公司合并、分立申请办理公司登记，自公告刊登之日起45日后，申请人可以同时申请办理公司注销、设立或者变更登记。其中，不属于同一登记机关管辖的，相关登记机关应当加强登记衔接。需要层级衔接的，上级登记机关要主动协调；需要区域衔接的，先收到有关咨询、申请的登记机关要主动协调。
The amounts of the registered capital and paid-in capital of the companies surviving a division or newly established as a result of the division shall be specified by the division resolution or division decision, but the totals of the registered capital and paid-in capital of the post-division companies may not be greater than the registered capital and paid-in capital of the pre-division company.
（五）支持公司自主约定注册资本数额。因合并而存续或者新设的公司，其注册资本、实收资本数额由合并协议约定，但不得高于合并前各公司的注册资本之和、实收资本之和。合并各方之间存在投资关系的，计算合并前各公司的注册资本之和、实收资本之和时，应当扣除投资所对应的注册资本、实收资本数额。
(6) Support companies autonomously specifying the capital contributions of their shareholders. The capital contribution percentages of the shareholders (sponsors) of a company surviving a merger or division or newly established as a result of a merger or division and the capital contribution amounts subscribed for or actually paid in by them shall be specified in the merger agreement, or the division resolution or decision. If laws, administrative regulations or State Council decisions specify that the capital contribution percentages and the capital contribution amounts subscribed for or actually paid in that are involved in a company merger or division require submission for approval, the same should already have been approved.
因分立而存续或者新设的公司，其注册资本、实收资本数额由分立决议或者决定约定，但分立后公司注册资本之和、实收资本之和不得高于分立前公司的注册资本、实收资本。
If the registered capital of a company was not fully paid in before the merger or division, the registered capital of the companies surviving the merger or division or newly established as a result of the merger or division shall, in accordance with the merger agreement or the division resolution or decision, be paid in full by the capital contribution deadline specified before the merger or division.
（六）支持公司自主约定股东出资份额。因合并、分立而存续或者新设的公司，其股东（发起人）的出资比例、认缴或者实缴的出资额，由合并协议、分立决议或者决定约定。法律、行政法规或者国务院决定规定公司合并、分立涉及出资比例、认缴或者实缴的出资额必须报经批准的，应当经过批准。
(7) Support branches in carrying out changes in their subordination. If a company that is dissolved as a result of a merger, or that is divided, has branches, it shall specify the plan for disposing of such branches in the merger agreement or the division resolution or decision. If the disposal plan provides for the de-registration of the branches, such de-registration shall be carried out before the merger or division of the company; or if the disposal plan specifies that the branches will vest in the surviving or a newly-established company, the amendment of registration regarding the branches' subordination may be carried out in accordance with the procedure for a change in the name of a branch.

(8) Support succession to the equity of a limited liability company. If a company that is dissolved as a result of a merger, or that is divided, holds an equity interest in another limited liability company, it shall specify in the merger agreement or the division resolution or decision the plan for disposing of the equity interest that it holds. If the disposal plan provides for withdrawal by way of an equity transfer or capital reduction, the amendment of registration regarding the equity transfer by the shareholder of the limited liability company in which the equity is found or regarding the change in registered capital and paid-in capital shall be carried out before the merger or division of the company; or if the disposal plan specifies that the equity interest will vest in the surviving or a newly-established company, the registration amendment regarding the change in the shareholder of the limited liability company in which the equity is found may be carried out after the merger or division of the company.
（七）支持分公司办理隶属关系变更。因合并而解散或者分立的公司有分公司的，应当在合并协议、分立决议或者决定中载明其分公司的处置方案。处置方案中载明分公司注销的，应当在公司合并、分立前办理分公司注销登记；处置方案中载明分公司归属于存续或者新设的公司的，可以按照分公司名称变更程序办理分公司隶属关系的变更登记。
(9) Support companies in applying for multiple registration amendments at one time. If, when a company is merged or divided, there are changes in other registered particulars, such as an increase in the number of shareholders or an increase in registered capital, so long as they comply with laws and regulations such as the Company Law and the Regulations for the Administration of Company Registration, and the company's articles of association, the relevant registration applications may all be submitted together and the application materials may be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the rules of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) for the registration materials of domestically-invested enterprises.
（八）支持有限责任公司股权承继。因合并而解散或者分立的公司持有其他有限责任公司股权的，应当在合并协议、分立决议或者决定中载明其持有股权的处置方案。处置方案中载明通过股权转让或者减资方式退出的，应当在公司合并、分立前办理股权所在有限责任公司的股东转让股权或者注册资本、实收资本变更登记；处置方案中载明股权归属于存续或者新设的公司的，可以在公司合并、分立后办理股权所在有限责任公司的股东变更登记。
3. Further enhancing the efficiency of the services provided in support of enterprise consolidation and re-organisation
（九）支持公司一次性申请多项变更登记。公司合并分立时增加股东、增加注册资本等其他登记事项变更的，只要符合《公司法》、《公司登记管理条例》等法律法规和公司章程的规定，可以一并提交相关登记申请，并按照总局内资企业登记材料规范的要求提交申请材料。
(1) Actively carry out publicity and making efforts to raise public awareness. Administrations for industry and commerce in all regions are required to make full use of various media platforms to publicise the great significance of the policies in support of the registration of company mergers and divisions to, and the positive effect of those policies on, the transformation of the method of development of the service economy and adjustment of the economic structure, and to raise the public's acceptance of the company merger and division registration rules so as to create a favourable public opinion environment and enterprise development environment.
二、进一步提高支持企业兼并重组的服务效能
(2) Duly organise study so as to enhance the vocational level of working personnel. Administrations for industry and commerce in every region are required to organise intensive study by enterprise registration personnel of relevant provisions on company mergers and divisions and carry out training activities in a planned and step-by-step manner.
