China-Specific Considerations

Regulatory Disclosures

Mandatory disclosure content:

  • 关联交易 (related party transactions) — flag prominently
  • 对外担保 (guarantees to third parties)
  • 重大诉讼仲裁 (material litigation)
  • 股权质押 (share pledges)
  • 同业竞争 (competitive businesses of related parties)

Ownership Structure

Common in China CIMs:

  • 股权结构图 (ownership structure diagram)
  • 实际控制人 (actual controller identification)
  • 一致行动人 (concert party arrangements)
  • 股权激励 (ESOP/scheme details)
  • 限售股 (restricted shares, lock-up schedule)

Industry-Specific Content

IndustrySpecial CIM Sections
白酒批价历史, 渠道库存, 品牌矩阵
半导体产能规划, 技术路线, 客户认证
新能源技术迭代, 产能规划, 补贴依赖
医药管线组合, 临床数据, 集采风险
房地产土储质量, 去化率, 融资结构

Valuation Context

A-share premium context:

  • A-share companies often trade at premium to H-shares
  • Liquidity premium for listed targets
  • Control premium expectations (20-40%)
  • 私有化 premium requirements (30-50%)

Quality Checks

Before finalizing:

  • Confidentiality notices prominent
  • All financial data sourced
  • Industry context complete
  • Risk factors comprehensive
  • Valuation analysis sound
  • Regulatory items flagged
  • Formatting professional
  • No identifying information leaked (if teaser phase)

Data Source Mode Switch: Set env var IFIND_DATA_SOURCE_MODE to control data source preference.

  • ifind-only (strict): Use iFind only, error if unavailable
  • ifind-fallback (default): iFind preferred, fallback to AkShare
  • akshare-only: Skip iFind, use AkShare only
  • wind-only: Wind only, error if unavailable
  • wind-fallback: Wind first, fallback to iFind → AkShare
