Financial News Agency, December 25 (Reporter Ren Chaoyu) Following the director's resignation after being in office for more than 20 days, Weichuang Co., Ltd. (002308.SZ)'s latest announcement tonight also revealed news of the resignation of finance leaders and others. However, just today, due to a sudden explosion, the company's stock price fell to a standstill, making it difficult for the minority shareholders to escape even if they wanted to vote with their feet.
In tonight's announcement, Weichuang Co., Ltd. reiterated that the board of directors received the resignation report of Zhang Shuhan, secretary of the company's board of directors, on November 3, 2023, and the resignation report of independent director Zhang Wendong on November 30. In addition to this, the announcement also stated that the company recently received resignation reports from finance director Wen Jingjing, independent directors Gao Zhiping, and Geng Zhijian.
Weichuang Co., Ltd. specifically stated in its announcement that after the resignation of the two executives, the two executives cannot be exempted from liability during their performance of duties. At the same time, if the period of their performance of duties causes adverse effects or losses to the company, the company reserves the right to pursue their legal liability.
Shen Meng, executive director of Chanson Capital, told the Financial Associated Press reporter, “Since both directors and sole directors are involved in major transactions of listed companies, as long as they trace their connection with related events, they will also be held responsible even if they leave their job.”
Currently, Chairman Lu Yu of Weichuang Co., Ltd. is temporarily acting as board secretary and financial director.
According to public information, although company director Zhang Shuhan and independent director Zhang Wendong submitted resignation reports in November, the company only disclosed in the “Notice on the Company's Self-Inspection of Its Own Business Situation” on December 22. The company stated, “The resignation information of the above two directors and executives has not been disclosed to the public as of the disclosure date of this announcement because the company is in the investigation stage.”
According to previous announcements, Director Secretary Zhang Shuhan's appointment bill was only reviewed and passed on October 13, 2023.
As 1.33 billion yuan of capital was strangely removed, Lu Keping, the company's “upper shareholder” and capital boss, was decided by the Securities Regulatory Commission to file a case. Affected by this news, the stock price of Weichuang Co., Ltd. fell to a standstill today.
Some senior capital market lawyers have publicly stated that they believe damaged investors who bought Weichuang shares before December 22, 2023 and still held the shares at the close of the day can file a claim.
