The China Securities Regulatory Commission has issued prior notice of proposed administrative penalties against Shanghai Zoran Engineering Technology Co.

The regulator proposes a CNY 12.5 million fine for the company and combined fines of CNY 35.8 million for six responsible individuals, as well as a 10-year securities market ban for the company’s actual controller. The suspected misconduct may trigger mandatory delisting for a major legal violation, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange will begin delisting procedures. The commission has also opened a formal investigation into the conduct of the accounting firm involved and will penalize any failure to exercise due diligence. Potential criminal evidence will be referred to public security authorities in accordance with applicable requirements.
