Business Overview

Composite Ownership Reform to Accelerate Development

In 2017, Yunnan Baiyao Holdings Limited (YBH) introduced New Huadu and Jiangsu Yuyue (both private firms) as strategic investors, and three entities holds 45%/45%/10% of YBH respectively. Thus YBH and the listing company both transfer into enterprises without one actual controller. After adjustments in 2017, we expect that the reform will further motivate its staff and enhance company competitiveness.
