Legal analysis: Yes, the company must first submit a change report, including the purpose and specific content of the change, which will be passed by the shareholders' meeting and put on record, and then go to the administrative department for industry and commerce to register the change, otherwise it will be considered illegal. After the company is divided or merged, both the surviving company and the newly established company after the merger will change their business functions and need to change their articles of association. Business function change and company organization change are two aspects of the same change process. If the company changes its name, domicile, legal representative, registered capital, business scope and type, shareholders of a limited company (including the succession of shareholders' qualifications), names of shareholders of a limited company or promoters of a joint stock limited company, changes in the registration of branches, merger, division, and the existence of the company, according to the above provisions, the transfer of shares of a joint stock limited company (unlisted) does not belong to the situation that it should apply for registration of change, and it is not necessary to apply for registration of industrial and commercial change.

(1) Name (2) Domicile (3) Name of legal representative (4) Registered capital (5) Type of company (6) Scope of business (7) Term of operation (8) Names of shareholders of a limited liability company or promoters of a joint stock limited company.
