3. The IPO cycle is shortened, and the asset returns are considerable! Broadcom integration will suspend voting;
Set micro-network news (text / Lee), August 7th, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the audit committee ushered in three companies to attend the meeting, respectively, Zhejiang Xinnong Chemical Co., Ltd., Broadcom Integrated Circuit (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Broadcom Integration'), Wuhan Best Communication Group Co., Ltd. Among them, two companies have succeeded, and only one semiconductor design company, Shanghai Broadcom IPO, has suspended the voting.
The SFC did not disclose specific details on the reasons for the suspension of voting on Broadcom's integrated IPO.
Generally speaking, the IPO initial application was suspended, and the audit committee received the report information, found that there are still problems to be investigated and verified and affected the clear judgment, or the audit committee did not review the feedback because some feedbacks were needed, and the sponsors and Company supplementary information for explanation.
'Because each company's situation is different, whether to issue a suspended vote should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. In general, the audit committee has not reviewed the feedback because of some feedback, and the sponsor and the company's supplementary information are needed for explanation. Express.
Less than one year, the period from the declaration to the last meeting is shortened
The author found that Broadcom integrated IPO pre-disclosure on October 13, 2017, and arranged IPO pre-disclosure updates only after 7 months, and official IPO will be held three months later. In addition to unicorns, general enterprises IPOs often take a year to complete this process, and Broadcom integration takes only 320 days from filing to filing.
According to statistics from WIND, enterprises that met on the IPO in 2018 will experience an average of 495 days (about one year and five months), and the average length of time on the GEM will be 554 days (one year and six months). The chip design company Jingfeng Mingyuan, which will be rejected on the IPO, is obviously faster than other IPO companies in the queue length, but this does not mean that the SFC's strict review standards are loose. At a time when US trade friction is tense, there will be news that the China Securities Regulatory Commission will accelerate the IPO process of semiconductor companies. Even the rumored chip companies’ IPOs will be reported immediately, enjoying the IPO fast track with unicorn companies to support domestic chip companies. The financing has grown rapidly, but it has been denied. Today, the SFC is still interested in supporting semiconductor companies' IPOs, but it is appropriate to speed up care, rather than open up fast-track channels.
Technical product upgrade, raising funds of 671 million yuan
According to the prospectus disclosed by Broadcom on the website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the company plans to issue 34,678,400 shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, accounting for 25% of the total issued share capital, and the total share capital after the issuance is 139 million shares.

6. The progress of the power battery business is not smooth, and the GCL integration adjustment strategy plan;
Set micro-network news (text / Lee), August 7th, GCL integration announcement, due to the progress of the power battery business did not meet the company's expectations, did not form a substantial contribution to the company's performance, and consider the current economic environment, industry development status With the company's future strategic layout and other factors, the company decided to integrate and focus its existing advantageous resources. Under the premise of consolidating the first main business, it adjusted the strategic planning of the second main business and actively explored the feasibility of semiconductor projects.
On February 25, 2017, the board of directors of GCL Integrated reviewed and approved the “Proposal on Building a Strategic Plan for the Collaborative Development of Dual Main Businesses”: 'The company intends to combine the national policy, industry development trend and its own operation, and develop dual main business synergies. Develop strategic planning, lay out the power battery business on the basis of consolidating the photovoltaic business, and build and cultivate the company's new profit growth point.
Power battery business is not progressing smoothly
Since the above-mentioned plan was issued, the company has been actively promoting related work, continuing research, comparison, analysis, review and decision-making on power batteries, including dynamic research and analysis of industry development status and potential competitors, and discussing with industry experts and scholars. Future technical routes, flexible cooperation with manufacturers with leading technology and channel advantages, etc., cautiously cut into the power battery industry. Cooperation includes but not limited to: power battery cells, PACK, power battery ladder utilization and other industrial chain links. However, in the past year or so, the progress of the power battery business has not reached the company's expectations, and has not made a substantial contribution to the company's performance.
PV product prices continue to fall
Recently, due to the macroeconomic environment and industry policies and other factors, the photovoltaic industry in the company's first main business has undergone dramatic changes. The domestic PV market is increasingly competitive. The company's PV products prices continue to fall, and domestic product billing period. Generally speaking, the overseas market has a good period of accounts, and the demand is increasing year by year. In order to adapt to the above changes, the company has focused on trade barriers and overseas market demand, made major strategic deployments, adjusted the market layout, and shifted the strategic focus from the domestic market. Overseas, the initiative has also achieved good results, especially after the announcement of the PV '531' New Deal, which strengthened the company's 'photovoltaic internationalization' strategy and continued to increase the investment and layout of overseas markets. The proportion of overseas markets from the first half of 2017 14% of the rapid increase to the current 50%.
Explore semiconductor projects
In April 2018, the company began to contact the semiconductor industry, intending to lay out the semiconductor industry through capital market platforms, industrial funds and other reasonable ways, with a view to minimizing capital investment, integrating optimal social resources, and exploring the feasibility of semiconductor projects. The industry has gradually upgraded to the national strategy. The government has provided all-round support for taxation, capital, and finance. At the same time, due to the friction of 'China-US trade', China's self-sufficiency rate of semiconductors is also urgent. To grasp this historic opportunity, 2018 4 On the 27th, the company announced that it intends to acquire a semiconductor material manufacturing enterprise with special focus on support. On July 10, 2018, the company announced its investment in the semiconductor industry fund.
GCL Integrated said that based on the above factors, in order to actively adapt to the above changes, the company's management decided to integrate and focus on the company's existing advantageous resources after careful consideration and trade-offs, focusing on the development of the company's first main business 'photovoltaic internationalization' Strategy and grasp the historic opportunities in the semiconductor industry, explore the feasibility of semiconductor projects. This matter will not adversely affect the company's normal production and operation, and will not harm the interests of the company and shareholders, especially small and medium shareholders.
