JunHe acted as PRC legal counsel to the co-sponsor and the underwriter. JunHe’s team participated in interviews with the regulatory authorities regarding compliance of the VIE structure and assisted the sponsor in conducting legal due diligence. They reviewed and revised the PRC legal opinions, the data compliance DD report, the prospectus and other application and offering documents.
The new rules on overseas listings came into effect during the implementation of this project. JunHe assisted the Company in replying to multiple rounds of feedback from the HKEx and the SFC in a very short timeframe, and helped the Company pass the HKEx hearing. The Company completed the successful IPO as an “existing enterprise”, i.e. it was deemed to have been listed overseas before the new rules on overseas listings came into effect. With its efficient and rigorous legal services and detail-oriented and professional expertise, JunHe’s team was unanimously recognized by the clients and the other intermediaries.
The JunHe team was led by partners HUANG, Xiaoli (Ally) and YU, Su, and partners YAO, Jiwei (Jervis) and ZHOU, Fang were responsible for the specific work. Partner LI, Zhi provided great support for the internal review.
