Hong Kong SFC suspends trading in ChaPanda shares over suspected IPO manipulation
On 13 October, at the direction of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), shares of new-tea-drink company ChaPanda (茶百道) were forcibly suspended from trading. The SFC announced the same day that ChaPanda's IPO may have been manipulated to create a false appearance of demand for its shares, saying a suspicious group was suspected of participating in a fraud scheme in the IPOs of ChaPanda and 拨康视云, and that part of the IPO proceeds may have been diverted out of the companies under undisclosed agreements between the listed company and those groups for so-called financial product investments. The SFC issued restriction notices to six brokerages, prohibiting disposal of relevant assets in client accounts of nine entities concerned, capped at about HK$4.379 billion, and stated that suspending trading during the investigation was necessary or desirable to maintain an orderly and fair market and protect the investing public. On the evening of 14 October, ChaPanda announced it is urgently seeking legal advice, pledged full cooperation with the SFC, will issue further announcements as appropriate, and confirmed its business operations remain normal.
