After amending the shareholder register (or articles of association) and the investor achieving legal control, timely taking over and continuing to effectively utilize the assets of the reorganized enterprise and completing the takeover of the operating rights of the reorganized enterprise play an important role in repaying claims, safeguarding the rights and interests of investors, and restoring the operation of the reorganized enterprise.

The members of the Asset Acceptance Committee generally include a director, several deputy directors and several committee members. It is recommended that the specific members include the person-in-charge of departments familiar with the enterprise's asset situation, such as the General Management Department, Asset Management Department, Finance Department, Technology Department, Sales Department of the reorganized enterprise group.
The investor, together with the reorganized enterprise and the administrator, shall formulate the Asset Acceptance Plan and the Asset Acceptance List in accordance with the Reorganization Investment Agreement and its annexes, the draft reorganization plan, and the asset list provided by the evaluation/audit institution, which shall be implemented by the Asset Acceptance Committee.
