More than 615 million shares from 15 companies will become tradable on the Shanghai and Shenzhen bourses from June 6 to June 8, according to market information provider Wind.
Ningxia Xinri Hengli Steel Wire Rope Co. Ltd. will see the unlocking of 200 million shares worth about 2.53 billion yuan on Monday, the largest group of shares to hit the market next week.
