The registration information showed that NEEQ was the sole shareholder, making it the owner of the BSE. The registered capital was RMB 1 billion, and the registered address was the same as NEEQ's.[1] On 17 September 2021, the BSE issued guidelines on the qualifying criteria for investors.[1][6] On 30 October 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission published rules for the exchange regarding initial public offerings (IPO), refinancing, and supervision.[7] On 15 November 2021, trading on the BSE commenced.[8][9] 81 companies debuted trading on the exchange that day: 71 were transferred from the "Select tier" of the NEEQ exchange, while the remaining 10 held their trading debuts.[8][9][10] Rules
