Failure to Disclose Information
A class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of CNinsure ADSs. The Complaint alleges that CNinsure issued materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business and prospects during the Class Period. CNinsure allegedly failed to disclose that the Company was materially overstating its net income by understating the costs associated with the Company’s scorecard system. The suit further alleges that the Company failed to account for incentives provided to the Company’s agents as costs since those incentives were reasonably likely to be tendered at a future date. As a result, Defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company and its prospects.
Artificially Inflated Stock Prices
CNinsure’s misleading financial data in combination with its failure to properly disclose the costs associated with the Company’s scorecard system, lead to artificially inflated prices during the Class Period. In addition, on May 16, 2011, the Company announced that it received a preliminary non-binding proposal letter from a company controlled by Yinan Hu, a co-founder of CNinsure and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $19.00 per ADS which further inflated the price of CNinsure’s ADS. Then on September 15, 2011, CNinsure issued a press release announcing that the Special Committee of its Board of Directors received a withdrawal notice from Yinan Hu concerning the proposed acquisition.
As a result of this news, shares of CNinsure fells $1.64 per ADS or 15%, to close at $9.03 per ADS.
