DEADLINE (QD) ALERT: Johnson Fistel, LLP Reminds Investors of Class Action against Qudian Inc. and Lead Plaintiff Deadline; Investors Encouraged to Contact Firm
SAN DIEGO- PRNewswire —December 14, 2017
Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP announces that a class action complaint has been filed on behalf of all purchasers Qudian Inc. (“Qudian”) (NYSE: QD) American Depository Shares (ADS) pursuant to the Company’s October 18, 2017 initial public offering (“IPO”). Qudian operates online consumer finance platforms in the People’s Republic of China. It offers small cash and merchandise credit products.
On October 17, 2017, Qudian issued 37.5 ADS’s at $24 per share in its IPO. Qudian’s ADS’s were trading at $13.19, when the lawsuit was filed, which is approximately 45% lower than the $24.00 IPO price.
On November 21, 2017, Chinese media reported that the personal information of millions of Qudian customers was allegedly available for sale on the black market. On November 23, 2017, Bloomberg reported that “Chinese regulators and police are investigating a potential leak of data” from Qudian.
The complaint alleges that Defendants made false and misleading statements in the IPO’s Registration Statement by failing to disclose that: (1) Qudian’s loan collection practices were materially deficient and/or nonexistent as the Company treated bad loans as welfare, and (2) Qudian’s data systems and procedures were materially inadequate to safeguard sensitive borrower data against breach, and that breaches had occurred.
If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 12, 2018.
