On the evening of April 19, Sugon (603019. SH) issued an announcement on the receipt of the notice of filing of the case by the directors of the company. According to the announcement, Li Guojie, chairman of Sugon, received the "Notice of Case Filing of the China Securities Regulatory Commission" (No. 0012024004) on April 19, 2024, because he was suspected of short-term trading of Sugon shares, and decided to file a case against him in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

In response to the investigation of the chairman, Sugon said that this matter is an investigation of Li Guojie and will not have a significant impact on the operation of the company's board of directors and the company's daily business activities. According to the "Announcement on Short-term Trading and Apology of Directors' Relatives" disclosed by Sugon on April 12, Li Guojie's spouse Zhang Dihua bought and sold the company's shares through centralized auction trading from March 3, 2023 to March 14, 2024.

As of April 12, Zhang Dihua still held 700 shares of the company's stock. In the announcement disclosed on April 12, Sugon pointed out that Zhang Dihua has now handed over the full amount of the proceeds from short-term trading to Sugon, and Zhang Dihua failed to correctly understand the relevant laws and regulations of short-term trading, and there is no subjective intentional violation. During the trading period, Li Guojie was not consulted for advice, nor was he informed that the above-mentioned trading behavior was an investment behavior made independently by an individual based on the information disclosed in the securities market and based on his personal judgment, and Li Guojie did not know about the transactions in his securities account, and there was no situation in which he traded the company's shares because he obtained inside information, nor did he use inside information for the purpose of seeking benefits. Sugon once responded to the media that Zhang Dihua used his own account to speculate in stocks, and he was older, in poor physical condition, and his children were not around, so he took stock speculation as his personal life preference. The company will take this as a lesson and strengthen the verification of the shareholding of directors, supervisors, senior executives and close relatives to avoid the recurrence of such matters.
