The status quo of the main body is single, and the diversification of investors and management can be realized to attract more social capital to enter, thereby improving the corporate governance structure and achieving the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Peng Biyu, vice president of the school of economics and management of South China Normal University, believes that debt to equity swap can reduce the financing cost of enterprises and improve the governance structure of small and medium-sized enterprises, which is of positive significance for the further establishment of a modern enterprise system in the future.

Three kinds of claims can be converted into shares of the company.

It is reported that this is the first administrative rule to regulate the registration of commercial creditor's rights in China.

At present, our country coexist policy related debt to equity swap and commercial debt to equity swap.

Policy oriented debt to equity swap has issued a series of regulations, and there are no obstacles in actual operation.

Commercial debt to equity swap involves the issue of non monetary contribution of companies. Although the company law and the company registration management act have recognized the legality of the mode of debt contribution, they are only recognized in principle and lack of operational provisions.

"The introduction of the" measures "provides a system basis for commercial debt to equity swap.

Provincial Industry and Commerce Bureau official said, "the measures" clearly defined the concept of commercial debt to equity swap, and stipulated that the creditor's direct debt to the company could be pferred to the company's equity in three situations. First, the debt generated by the creditor between the company and the company was converted into the company's share rights. The premise is that the creditor has fulfilled the contractual obligations corresponding to the creditor's rights, and does not violate the prohibition provisions of the laws, administrative regulations, decisions of the State Council or the articles of association. Two, the creditor's rights which are confirmed by the people's court's effective judgment are pferred to the company's equity. Three, the company's bankruptcy reorganization or the period of reconciliation is included in the company's shareholding which is approved by the people's court for approval of the reorganization plan or the conciliation agreement approved by the court.

"It is important to note that there are more than two creditors in a creditor's right to be converted into equity, and the creditor shall have split the creditor's right. The sum of the amount of the amount of the capital contribution pferred to the stock right and other non monetary assets shall not be higher than 70% of the registered capital of the company."
