According to the complaint, on May 22, 2026, before the market opened, Reuters published an article reporting that the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), along with seven other government agencies including the central bank, had launched a crackdown aimed at “brokers it accused of illegally moving money to foreign markets” including “overseas firms and their local partners operating without approval.” The article allegedly reported that online brokers including Futu “would be penalised for soliciting business in China without an onshore licence, the securities regulator said.”

The complaint alleges, among other things, that throughout the Class Period, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that (1) Futu was not in compliance with the requirements of the CSRC, including because the Company continued to conduct securities business, public fund sales business and futures business in mainland China without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval; (2) as a result, Futu was reasonably likely to face regulatory penalties, including the disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and other penalties; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Futu’s financial results were overstated.
