Under strict supervision, many IPO companies voluntarily withdrew their listing applications. According to the statistics of wind data by the reporter of "Dazhong**", a total of 88 GEM IPO projects have been shown to be terminated (withdrawn) so far in 2023, of which CITIC ** accounts for the largest proportion, with a total of 15 projects withdrawn. At the same time, the reporter found that in January this year, the Huimang Micro IPO project sponsored by CITIC ** still has mysteries to be solved.
Huimang Micro has been listed for the second time, and the sponsors behind it are all CITIC**. In 2021, Huimang Micro applied for the Science and Technology Innovation Board, but after being selected for on-site inspection, it quickly withdrew its application documents. After "checking and withdrawing", CITIC** continued to join hands with Huimang Micro to seek listing on the GEM, but after two rounds of inquiries, the order was withdrawn again.
Before the second A-share failure, the regulator repeatedly questioned the authenticity of the data in Huimangwei's financial report, including distribution revenue, R&D investment accounting and related party identification, and repeatedly asked CITIC ** to express a clear opinion.
With the help of inquiry, the reason for the "withdrawal after investigation" of Huimangwei's previous IPO also surfaced. "During the previous IPO reporting period, the company had a small number of internal control irregularities. Hui Mangwei bluntly said that the first withdrawal was due to the fear that "the IPO will be rejected due to non-standard internal control".
In this way, at the time of the first IPO, Hui Mangwei or had the mentality of "going through with illness"? As the "gatekeeper", did CITIC** be diligent and conscientious in its first sponsorship, and what were the reasons for repeatedly canceling orders? The reporter called Hui Mang Micro and CITIC ** respectively, but did not receive a positive response.
Previously, the China Securities Regulatory Commission emphasized the responsibility of "gatekeepers" of intermediaries such as sponsors, insisted on "reporting is responsible", and strictly verified and severely punished those who "broke through with illness". It is worth mentioning that in January this year, CITIC ** was fined for sponsoring the Hengyi Petrochemical convertible bond project, and the relevant enterprises had a "big change in performance". According to the investigation of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Hengyi Petrochemical ** issued (convertible bonds) in the year of listing, and its operating profit fell by more than 50% compared with the previous year.
