Lenovo's proposal to issue Chinese Depositary Receipts has been accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the company said Monday.

The company proposed in January to offer no more than 10% of its total post-issuance equity in Shanghai and said it would use the proceeds for research and development of new technologies and products.

Lenovo would also use the funds for investments in related industry and to replenish the company's working capital, its January filing said.

Lenovo's CDRs will be listed on the STAR Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and are subject to regulatory approval.
