FUTU’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

On October 28, 2021, The Wall Street Journal published an article stating that “[a] senior official at China’s central bank said cross-border online brokerages operating in mainland China were acting illegally,” and specified that Futu “[directs] prospective clients in mainland China to open trading accounts in Hong Kong.” Following this news, Futu’s stock price fell $8.55, or 12.8%, to close at $58.47 per American Depositary Share (“ADS”) on October 28, 2021.

Then, on December 17, 2021, after market hours, Reuters reported that “Chinese officials are planning to ban online brokerages such as Futu . . . from offering offshore trading services to mainland clients, the latest development in a broad regulatory crackdown that has roiled a wide range of sectors over the past year.” Following this news, Futu’s stock price fell $0.45, or 1.2%, to close at $38.18 per ADS on December 18, 2021.

On December 30, 2022, The Wall Street Journal published another article stating that the China Securities Regulatory Commission had determined that Futu’s “act of offering offshore securities-trading services to clients in mainland China doesn’t comply with the country’s laws and regulations.” Following this news, Futu’s stock price fell $18.26, or 31%, to close at $40.65 per ADS on December 20, 2022.

Finally, on May 16, 2023, Reuters reported that Futu would be removing its app in mainland China. Following this news, Futu’s stock price fell $1.91, or 4.4%, to close at $41.24 per ADS on May 16, 2023.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Futu investors may, no later than August 11, 2023, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff for the class, through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Futu investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information. The class action complaint against Futu, captioned Jennifer Henry v. Futu Holdings Limited, et al and docketed under 23-cv-03222, is filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey before the Honorable Brian R. Martinotti.

WHO CAN BE A LEAD PLAINTIFF?

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
