Legal analysis
According to the provisions of Article 71 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), a limited liability company can transfer its shares internally and externally, internally and mutually, and externally, it needs the consent of more than half of the shareholders to give up the preemptive right. At the same time, the shareholders' meeting was held, the articles of association were amended, and industrial and commercial registration was handled. The so-called "not confronting the third party" means that if the industrial and commercial registration is not carried out, although the transferor has transferred its shares, it is this that may lead to the problem that the rights and interests of new shareholders cannot be fully protected. If the old shareholder transfers the equity again and goes through the relevant formalities in accordance with the regulations, and the transferee is unaware of it (because the industrial and commercial registration has not changed, he can reasonably trust the old shareholder or creditor), then the law protects the rights of the latter, and the original transferee cannot use the equity transfer agreement he has signed against the "third party", that is, the new transferee.
