The bank will also assume all assets, liabilities, business operations, and other rights and obligations of these institutions following their asset and liability assessments.
The approval requires Guangxi Laibin Rural Commercial Bank to strictly comply with relevant laws and regulations in preparing for the merger. It must also oversee the completion of legal entity termination procedures for the five institutions involved.

During the merger process, the bank is instructed to implement contingency plans to ensure staff and operational stability, strengthen risk management, and mitigate potential reputational risks.
