            recognized evaluation methods. It is prohibited to transfer equity 
            interest or sell assets at a price obviously lower than the

            Article 15 The parties to a merger shall explain whether there is 
            relationship of affiliation among the parties. If there are two 
            parties belong to an actual controller, the parties shall disclose 
            the actual controller to the approval authority, and shall explain 
            its purpose of merger and whether the result of evaluation is in 
            conformity to the reasonable market value. The parties thereto shall
