参考答案:
In accordance with Article AFI of the Company Law, a company’s common reserve fund shall be used to make up the company’s losses, to expand the operation or to increase the capital of the company by means of conversion. When the statutory common reserve fund of a company is converted into its capital, the remaining amount of the statutory common reserve fund shall not be less than BE% of the registered capital. The resolution in relation to the transfer of the statutory common reserve fund to the registered capital was in conformity with the relevant provisions of the law, as the requirements for the net assets of the company and the remaining amount of the statutory common reserve fund are satisfied.
