Late today, Weichuang shares (002308SZ) announced that the company's "upper shareholder" Lu Keping was filed by the CSRC on suspicion of violating laws and regulations.
On the evening of December 22, Weichuang shares disclosed that a sum of 13The 300 million yuan fund has not been returned after being bizarrely swiped away by the actual controller of the proposed acquirer of an equity transfer transaction, and the company has not disclosed the relevant information of the equity transaction before. According to the announcement, Jiangsu Sunshine Group (hereinafter referred to as "Sunshine Group") seems to have played an important role in the above transaction process.
While this "bizarre bridge" stunned investors, it also triggered the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to send a letter of concern for the first time, and at the same time, the China Securities Regulatory Commission also launched an investigation into all parties. And because the backs are controlled by Lu Keping in different ways, Jiangsu Sunshine (600220SH), tetracyclic organisms (000518SZ) also disclosed the information that Rudd Keping was placed on file for investigation tonight.
"Disappeared" 1.3 billion yuan of funds
If you want to select the "strange case" of the capital market in 2023, the "thunder" of Weichuang Co., Ltd. near the end of the year can definitely squeeze into the top three.
On the evening of December 22, Weichuang disclosed an announcement on the company's self-inspection of its own operations, and after self-inspection, on September 20, 2023, the company's controlling shareholder, Zhongshu Wolters Kluwer's limited partner, Monsas (Taizhou) Investment, the controlling shareholder of Sunshine Group, and Jiangxi Xiling Energy, hereinafter referred to as "Xiling Energy"), signed the "Equity Transfer Cooperation Framework Agreement".
According to the arrangement, Xiling Energy will acquire control of Zhongshu Wolters Kluwer through an investment relationship in the next 12 months.
Among them, Liu Jun, the actual controller of Xiling Energy, the proposed acquirer, transferred the company's 13300 million yuan of funds were transferred to the bank account controlled by it and returned to the company in full on October 31, but since November 1, it has been transferred out of the company in batches, and the funds have not been returned to the company as of the date of disclosure of the announcement.
Perhaps it was too outrageous, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange urgently issued a letter of concern that night, expressing great concern and requiring the company to take all necessary measures to recover the relevant funds, safeguard the interests of the company and small and medium-sized shareholders, and carefully self-examine and rectify the deficiencies in internal control.
At the same time, the China Securities Regulatory Commission also issued a "Notice of Case Filing" to the company that night, and immediately launched an investigation into the illegal information disclosure of listed companies.
According to the company's disclosure, on December 23, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) notified that Lu Keping, the controlling shareholder of the company's controlling shareholder Taizhou Zhongshu Wolters Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), and the actual controller of Sunshine Group, was filed on suspicion of violating laws and regulations.
Lu Keping was "continuously filed" during the year
Lu Keping is a woolen textile tycoon in Jiangyin, Wuxi, and was on the Hurun Rich List with Cao Dewang of Fuyao Glass in 2005. At the most prosperous time, it controlled three listed companies at the same time: Jiangsu Sunshine, Sihuan Biology, and Hairun Photovoltaic (delisted), and if you count the indirect shareholding of Weichuang shares, Lu Keping has radiated as many as four listed companies through Sunshine Group over the years.
However, several listed companies under Lu Keping have not only deteriorated in recent years, but also "damaged their reputation" because they have been involved in many violations of laws and regulations.
In May 2020, a penalty decision disclosed by Sihuan Biotech showed that Lu Keping was "kept secret" for buying and selling Sihuan Biotech ** during the restricted trading period, and for many years after gaining control. The above behavior involved a number of violations, and was finally fined a total of 27.34 million yuan and banned from the market for life.
At that time, the CSRC stated that its illegal acts lasted for a long time, the means were particularly bad, and the amount involved was particularly huge, seriously disrupting the market order and causing serious social impact.
On the evening of October 9 this year, Sihuan Biology and Jiangsu Sunshine jointly disclosed that Lu Keping was filed by the Securities Regulatory Commission on suspicion of manipulating the ** market.
The reporter of the Financial Associated Press noted that the results of the above-mentioned investigation have not yet been released, and Jiangsu Sunshine has said that it will continue to pay attention to the progress of the above matters, and in accordance with the provisions and requirements of relevant laws and regulations, etc., to do a good job of information disclosure in a timely manner, but as of now, the company's announcement has not been updated with the latest progress, in other words, Lu Keping is currently in a state of two investigations at the same time.
