The science and technology innovation board Journal reporter noted that over the past year, a number of semiconductor companies have indeed terminated the IPO process. For example, Chengdu Ruiyuan Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd. terminated its IPO nearly 10 months after the meeting. In addition, more than 20 companies in the semiconductor industry also voluntarily withdrew their materials to terminate the IPO after being inspected on the spot.Big move! Two billion M&A and restructuring funds in Shanghai have come to target the chip and pharmaceutical industries.In terms of the amount, it is necessary to form a M&A transaction scale of 300 billion yuan, activate the total assets to exceed 2 trillion yuan, and gather 3-5 professional M&A fund managers with strong industry influence. The plan also proposes to make good use of the 10 billion yuan integrated circuit design industry M&A fund and set up a 10 billion yuan biomedical industry M&A fund.

At the end of the year, Shanghai launched a big action in the field of mergers and acquisitions. Today, the General Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government issued the Action Plan for Shanghai to Support the Merger and Reorganization of Listed Companies (2025-2027) (hereinafter referred to as the Action Plan).Unlike Shenzhen and Anhui, which made good use of "green channel" policies such as debt financing, mergers and acquisitions, and vigorously developed equity-based M&A funds, this time Shanghai directly gave the scale of M&A funds.Bu Rixin, a partner of Chuangdao Investment Consulting, said in an interview with the science and technology innovation board Journal that the 10 billion M&A fund is mainly aimed at the "integrated circuit design industry", which may be related to the end of the IPO dividend period of chip design companies.

Bu Rixin believes that in the past few years, after the IPO tide of semiconductors, especially chip design companies, the IPO dividend period of chip design companies has basically ended. "Except for some large chip fields that have not been completely replaced, there are listed companies in other sub-fields, and these fields have already experienced serious involution at the level of low-end products. In the follow-up, if enterprises in these fields are encouraged to conduct IPOs, it is equivalent to encouraging disorderly competition in the industry. "Biomedicine, as one of the leading industries in Shanghai, has a scale of nearly one trillion yuan. In 2023, the industrial scale reached 933.732 billion yuan, an increase of 4.9%; Shanghai's biomedical industry chain is relatively complete, with many medical device enterprises and CRO, CMO and CSO enterprises. Therefore, Yuan Shuai believes that the Shanghai Municipal Government will set up a 10 billion yuan M&A fund for biomedical industry, which is expected to cultivate internationally competitive biomedical enterprises through mergers and acquisitions.At the end of the year, Shanghai launched a big action in the field of mergers and acquisitions.
