the substantial holding provision in section 671B CL. The limitation is loosened greatly compared to the Interim Provisions. In the Interim Provisions, if a person possesses 5% shares of a listed company, he should stop trading within 3 days to report and disclose whenever his possession is increased or decreased by 2% of the total shares in the company.
Article 87 provides that if a bidder has held more than 90% shares in a company when the bid period is expired,(12) other shareholders who did not accept the offer are entitled to sell their shares to the bidder with the same conditions stated in the bid. It is similar to the compulsory buy-out provisions in sections 662C CL, but there is no compulsory acquisition in the Securities Law. In practice, it is almost impossible that a person holds 90%, because according to Article 86, if a bidder holds more than 75% shares of the total, the listed company shall stop listing. In order to keep the company listed, a bidder will not hold more than 75% shares.

On the other hand, too simple rules cause more uncertainty that will impede the market development.
In the past few years, there was a new worldwide takeover trend covered almost all industries. Both Australia and China should try to keep up with it. Since takeover legislations and takeover strategies are used in similar ways in different countries, it is easy to China to adopt some Australian experience. China should improve the efficiency of the market while encouraging better management and enhancing investor protection, and achieve an appropriate balance between them. The mandatory bid proposal is quite good to make an easier and more efficient takeover, the provisions that a listed company may be taken over by agreement make takeover much easier than the mandatory bid, but it is also more opaque and more unfair. In my opinion, if it is supplemented with some useful rules from the mandatory bid rule, it will be better. The Panel contributes more to the efficiency, and sufficient disclosure is crucial to equability and market confidence, hence, they should be adopted with s
