(referred to as "Guodian Yongshou Coal Industry") 55% of the shares and 799 million yuan of claims began to be transferred, the transfer reserve price is 640 million yuan, of which 55% of the equity listing price is only 1 yuan. The project was transferred once at the end of last year, when the reserve price was 799 million yuan, which was equivalent to a 25 per cent discount. Moreover, since the beginning of this year, the State Energy Group has transferred coal companies many times, behind which is the gradual deepening of the supply-side reform of the coal industry, and the merger and reorganization of the industry has begun to speed up.

At the same time, some mining areas of Nianzigou Coal Mine have the risk of involving the drinking water source protection area of Taiyu River in Binxian County. However, up to now, the target enterprise has not received the relevant notification documents for the establishment of the water source. The company reminds the intended transferee that it should be aware of the relevant planning of the Taiyu River drinking Water Source Reserve in Binxian County, and that the relevant liability risks arising therefrom shall be borne by it. The sources of the above information are the guidance of Shaanxi Province on the orderly withdrawal of Mining Rights in protected areas (issued by the Shaanxi political Office [2018] No. 39), as well as the relevant notices of the competent government departments.

Speed up the merger and reorganization of the industry

China Securities News reporter combed found that recently, the State Energy Group frequently transferred shares in coal companies.

On May 29 this year, 35% of the equity and creditor's rights of Guodian Xianyang Coal Co., Ltd., listed on the Bei Stock Exchange, were transferred by Guodian Yongshou Coal Industry, which is the only company in which Guodian Yongshou Coal Industry invests abroad.

Behind the action of the National Energy Group, the supply-side reform of the coal industry has entered the accelerated stage of merger and reorganization.

In January 2018, 12 ministries and commissions jointly issued the "opinions on further promoting the merger, reorganization, Transformation and upgrading of Coal Enterprises," emphasizing that through merger and reorganization, the average scale of coal enterprises will be significantly expanded, and the degree of integration of upstream and downstream industries will be significantly improved. By the end of 2020, we will strive to form a number of billion-ton super-large coal enterprise groups with strong international competitiveness, and develop and cultivate a number of modern coal enterprise groups. We will promote the reorganization of coal mines owned by other coal-related central enterprises, so as to make professional coal enterprises stronger, better and bigger.

In early August 2018, SASAC once again held a meeting of responsible persons of central enterprises and local SASAC, pointing out that in the second half of the year, it is necessary to steadily promote the strategic restructuring of central enterprises in coal and other fields, and promote the further concentration of state-owned capital to key industries, key areas, and superior enterprises in line with the national strategy. At the same time, we should vigorously resolve excess capacity, set up a special fund for the optimization and integration of coal resources in central enterprises, explore the mode of market-oriented specialization, reorganization and integration, and steadily and orderly promote the integration of coal resources.

Industry insiders said that the merger and reorganization of coal enterprises is a major trend, other coal-related central enterprises will also divest coal assets, in the future or by the central enterprise coal assets integration platform to take over, or by local energy groups to merger and reorganization.
