The market regulation service window at administration service center in Dalian Jinpu New Area recently offered expedited same-day approval services for a key step in SK Hynix's equity acquisition of Intel's NAND business unit. Recognizing the center's swift and professional support, SK Hynix representatives made a special visit to express their gratitude.

Proactive Engagement to Solve Complex Challenges

The cross-border acquisition involved a complicated equity structure and extensive documentation, demanding both efficiency and precision. To meet these requirements, the service center launched a "pre-approval service," proactively engaging with SK Hynix—a global leader in the semiconductor sector—well before the formal submission.

A dedicated team was formed to directly support the company, reviewing more than 100 documents, including merger agreements and shareholder resolutions. By identifying and guiding necessary revisions in advance, the team prevented repeated submissions and ensured the application could be processed seamlessly.

End-to-End Support Enhances Efficiency

A representative from the center emphasized the importance of time in cross-border mergers and acquisitions and stated that the aim was to deliver services embodying both the efficiency and hospitality characteristic of Jinpu New Area.

Throughout the process, the service team held multiple virtual meetings with SK Hynix leadership and international partners, providing clear policy interpretations and targeted guidance.

A "green channel" was established for critical clauses, ensuring smooth coordination and immediate approval. As a result, SK Hynix received its updated business license on the same day it applied—achieving zero delay and zero obstacles.

A Model of Business-Friendly Governance

SK Hynix praised the center's professionalism and "nanny-style" service, calling it a key driver of their investment confidence. This successful case highlights Jinpu New Area’s commitment to optimizing the business environment and advancing high-quality development through innovative, enterprise-centered services.
