Rail firms鈥 pass plan to merge

A plan to merge two of China’s top bullet train makers has been passed by general meetings of both sets of shareholders, the companies said yesterday.

China CNR Corp and China CSR Corp announced that their shareholders have approved the plan, including a new company name, stock swap agreement and personnel settlement.

The merger is still subject to review by authorities including the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Commerce. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was the first regulator to green-light the merger, according to statements from the companies on Thursday.

Shares of the two will become eligible for trade today and are expected to surge.

The companies unveiled the plan in late December, aiming to build a new provider of railway equipment.
