Features: This book is a specialized work on legal issues of corporate groups. The author employs various methods such as theoretical analysis, scholarly evaluation, and comparative studies of domestic and international legislation, combined with his own reflections, to clarify the concept, characteristics, basic structural forms, and the advantages and disadvantages of corporate groups. Based on a classified study of control within corporate groups, the book takes a unique approach to delve into the legal relationship of "control-subordination." It discusses issues such as reinvestment, corporate division, corporate acquisition, triangular mergers, and exchange ratios in the formation of corporate groups. It also explores related transaction issues within corporate groups, including monetary lending, affiliated guarantees, and profit transfer. Furthermore, it proposes new ideas for protecting minority shareholders of controlled companies and creditors, such as "preferred stock conversion of minority shareholder shares" and "supplementary liability for beneficiaries of controlling companies," building on existing methods. This book holds positive significance for advancing the theoretical research and legal development of corporate groups in China, as well as guiding practical applications in this field.
