(Revision 2018)
(No. 134 [2018] of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange)
Chapter I General Provisions
Article 1 For the purposes of urging listed companies to further establish the market-oriented operation concept, strengthening the information disclosure responsibilities of listed companies, regulating one-stop business for information disclosure by listed companies and protecting investors' lawful rights and interests, these Guidelines are developed according to the Company Law, the Securities Law, the Measures for the Administration of the Information Disclosure by Listed Companies, the Stock Listing Rules of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (2014 Revision), the Rules of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for Stock Listing on ChiNext (2014 Revision) (hereinafter referred to as the “Listing Rules”) and other relevant provisions.
Article 2 The Guidelines shall apply to the one-stop services of companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“SZSE”) for information disclosure.
Article 3 For the purposes of these Guidelines, “one-stop business for information disclosure” means the information disclosure method that listed companies directly submit the information and announcements to be disclosed to the designated disclosure media through the technical platform of the SZSE and the SZSE conducts ex post examination according to these Guidelines as well as other rules, detailed rules, guidelines, notices, measures and memorandums issued by the SZSE (hereinafter referred to as “other relevant provisions of the SZSE”).
Article 4 One-stop services for information disclosure is one of the methods of information disclosure by listed companies. Listed companies disclosing information by one-stop means (hereafter referred to as “one-stop disclosure”) shall comply with the relevant laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules, regulatory documents, these Guidelines and other relevant provisions of the SZSE, as well as the provisions of the bylaws on information disclosure.
Article 5 According to the relevant laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules and other relevant provisions of the SZSE, the SZSE shall conduct ex post form examination of the information disclosed by listed companies by one-stop means, without assuming any liability for the authenticity of the content.
Article 6 In the event of any mistake, omission or misleading content in the information disclosed by a listed company by one-stop means, the company shall, according to the relevant laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules, regulatory documents, these Guidelines and other relevant provisions of the SZSE, publish a supplementary announcement or correction announcement in a timely manner.
Chapter II Scope of One-stop Business for Information Disclosure
Articles 7 Except the listed companies whose annual information disclosure assessment results are D, companies listed on the SZSE shall disclose information by one-stop means, in principle.
Where a company falls under such circumstances seriously affecting its quality of information disclosure as unsound governance, weak internal control, various suspected violations of laws and regulations, widely questioning of its information disclosure on the market, and refusal to cooperate with supervision, the SZSE may remove it from the scope of entities qualified for one-stop business for information disclosure.
Article 8 The scope of announcement on the one-stop business for information disclosure shall be separately prescribed by the SZSE. SZSE may, according to the needs of business development, adjust the scope of announcement on a regular or irregular basis.
Article 9 A listing company conducting one-stop disclosure of an announcement set out in Article 8 of these Guidelines shall adopt the one-stop means. Where a single disclosure application of a listed company covers several announcements, the disclosure may be conducted by one-stop means only when each announcement complies with the provisions of Article 8 of these Guidelines.
Chapter III General Provisions on the Handling of the One-stop Business for Information Disclosure
