Summary · why it matters

The Jiangsu Provincial High People's Court issued a final judgment in the securities misrepresentation liability dispute involving Kangni Mechanical & Electrical, revoking the first-instance judgment and ordering Kangni to compensate investors for losses of 99.7993 million yuan. Guotai Haitong, Suya Jincheng, Kangni's former chairman Chen Yingqi, and former vice chairman and president Gao Wenming are jointly and severally liable for 50%, 40%, 2%, and 2% of the compensation obligation, respectively. The case stems from Kangni's acquisition of a 100% stake in Guangdong Longxin Technology Co., Ltd. for 3.4 billion yuan at the end of 2017. Longxin Technology engaged in financial fraud, including inflating revenue and profits, from 2015 to 2017, causing false records in the restructuring report disclosed by Kangni in 2017. As of the announcement date, Kangni has fully fulfilled its compensation obligations to nine ordinary investors and three institutional investors under the judgment, while lawsuits by the remaining three individual investors are in second-instance proceedings. Kangni stated that the company had already made sufficient provisions for estimated liabilities, and this judgment will not have a material impact on the company's current or future profits.
