NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), a national shareholder and consumer rights litigation firm, is notifying investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Fanhua, Inc. ("Fanhua" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FANH) and other defendants, related to alleged violations of federal securities laws. If you purchased Fanhua securities between April 20, 2018 and August 27, 2018, you are encouraged to contact a Scott+Scott attorney at (844) 818-6980 for more information.
Fanhua (formerly known as CNinsure Inc.) is an independent financial services provider operating in China.
The complaint alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies; specifically: (i) Fanhua engaged in improper business practices, including irregular accounting; (ii) the foregoing practices were intended to benefit Company insiders and overstated Fanhua's financial assets and performance metrics; and (iii) as a result, Fanhua's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On August 27, 2018, stock analyst Seligman Investments published an article that described Fanhua as a "questionable company" and detailed a history of alleged fraud within the Company, including accounting irregularities in the Company's second quarter 2018 financial results. The article also described "company insiders" engaging in "self-dealing tactics," and stated that Fanhua's "numerous acquisitions, mostly of other insurance intermediaries . . . are rife with related-party abuses."
On this news, the price of Fanhua American Depository Shares fell $2.75 per share, or 10.52%, to close at $23.40 on August 27, 2018
