On 9 June 1992, a subsidiary, Brilliance China Automotive Holding Limited (; short name: Brilliance China or sometimes, Brilliance Auto, Brilliance or former NYSE ticker symbol "CBA") was incorporated in Bermuda. In the same year, the company was registered as a foreign company in the Hong Kong Companies Registry, 5 years before the British colony became a special administrative region of China. Initially, the subsidiary owned 40% stake of Shenyang Jinbei Coach Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (), while the rest of the stake was owned by another company, Shenyang Jinbei Automotive Company Limited (; ). The ratio was later changed to 51% owned by Brilliance China Auto and 49% owned by Shenyang Jinbei Automotive. The American depositary shares of Brilliance China Auto was floated in New York Stock Exchange from 1992 as NYSE:CBA. The company intended to delist from NYSE in 2007 and completed in 2009.
