4. Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang had a close relationship and had WeChat contacts during the sensitive period of inside information

5. Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang jointly engaged in insider trading in "Zijiang Enterprise" shares

(1) Chen Hu provided funds of 1,600,000 yuan.

During the sensitive period of insider information, on February 17, 18 and 19, 2020, Chen Hu transferred 850,000 yuan, 250,000 yuan and 500,000 yuan to the tripartite depository account of bank of China corresponding to the securities account of "Wu Rongguang", with a total of 1,600,000 yuan, and after arriving, Wu Rongguang transferred them to his securities fund account.

(2) Wu Rongguang operates the "Wu Rongguang" securities account to trade "Zijiang Enterprise" stocks.

Wu Rongguang transferred the above three funds provided by Chen Hu to the securities fund account and then bought "Zijiang Enterprise", and on February 17, 18 and 19, 2020, a total of 439,700 shares were purchased, with a transaction amount of 1,598,348 yuan. On February 25, the securities account of "Wu Rongguang" sold all 611,000 shares of "Zijiang Enterprise" and sold a transaction amount of 3,042,780 yuan, including the above 439,700 shares purchased during the sensitive period of insider information, and the corresponding profit of this part of the stock was 587,918.24 yuan (after deducting taxes).

(3) The above-mentioned transaction of "Zijiang Enterprise" stock in the "Wu Rongguang" securities account is obviously abnormal, which is highly consistent with the inside information.

First, chen hu and Wu Rongguang's contact time, capital change time, and transaction time are basically the same as the change of insider information and the time of disclosure. At 11:38 on February 17, 2020, Chen Hu learned of the inside information of the case, at 12:31 and 13:15 Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang WeChat voice call, on February 17, 18 and 19, Chen Hu transferred three funds totaling 1,600,000 yuan to Wu Rongguang, and after arriving at the account, wu Rongguang used to buy "Zijiang Enterprise" shares.

Second, buying "Zijiang Enterprise" stock is obviously different from the usual trading habits. During the sensitive period of insider information, the securities account of "Wu Rongguang" transferred 1,600,000 yuan and bought the shares of "Zijiang Enterprise" in a single item, and the transaction amount was significantly enlarged compared with before the sensitive period of insider information.

In summary, during the sensitive period of insider information, Chen Hu, the insider of the insider information, provided funds, Wu Rongguang operated the "Wu Rongguang" securities account, and the behavior of the two people jointly trading the shares of "Zijiang Enterprise" was obviously abnormal, the trading activities were highly consistent with the inside information, and the two could not make reasonable explanations.

6. Wu Rongguang insider trading in "Zijiang Enterprise" shares

(1) Wu Rongguang sold other stocks in the "Wu Rongguang" securities account to trade "Zijiang Enterprise" shares.

During the sensitive period of insider information, in addition to using the "Wu Rongguang" securities account with Chen Hu to insider trading "Zijiang Enterprise" shares, Wu Rongguang also sold other stocks to raise funds to trade "Zijiang Enterprise" shares. From February 17, 2020 to February 20, 2020, the securities account of "Wu Rongguang" sold a total of 7,000 shares of "Ping An Bank", with a transaction amount of 106,540 yuan, sold 34,300 shares of "Lucky New Materials", sold a transaction amount of 519,905.5 yuan, bought "Zijiang Enterprise" after selling the above stocks, and bought a total of 171,300 shares of "Zijiang Enterprise" from February 17 to February 20, with a transaction amount of 627,331 yuan. On February 25, the securities account of "Wu Rongguang" sold all 611,000 shares of "Zijiang Enterprise" and sold a transaction amount of 3,042,780 yuan, including the above 171,300 shares purchased during the sensitive period of insider information, and the corresponding profit of this part of the stock was 224,401.39 yuan (after deducting taxes).

(2) The above-mentioned transaction of "Zijiang Enterprise" stock in the "Wu Rongguang" securities account is obviously abnormal, which is highly consistent with the inside information.

First, chen hu and Wu Rongguang's contact time, capital change time, and transaction time are basically the same as the change of insider information and the time of disclosure. At 12:31 and 13:15 on February 17, 2020, Chen Hu, the insider of the inside information, and Wu Rongguang had a WeChat voice call, and then from February 17 to February 20, the securities account of "Wu Rongguang" sold "Ping An Bank" and "Lucky New Materials" continuously, and bought "Zijiang Enterprise" after selling. At 9:25 on February 25, Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang had a WeChat voice call, and at 9:35 a.m., the "Wu Rongguang" securities account sold all the shares of "Zijiang Enterprise". Second, buying "Zijiang Enterprise" stock is obviously different from the usual trading habits. During the sensitive period of insider information, the "Wu Rongguang" securities account continued to sell other stocks to raise funds, and bought the shares of "Zijiang Enterprise" in a single item, and the transaction amount was significantly enlarged compared with before the sensitive period of insider information.

In summary, during the sensitive period of insider information, Wu Rongguang and Chen Hu, the insider of the insider information, had WeChat contacts, the trading behavior was obviously abnormal, the trading activities were highly consistent with the insider information, and Wu Rongguang could not make reasonable explanations.

The above facts are proved by evidence such as relevant meeting materials and announcements of Zijiang Enterprise, records of inquiries and WeChat chat records of relevant personnel, relevant securities account information and transaction flows, relevant bank account information and transfer records, and calculation data of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Our bureau believes that during the sensitive period of insider information, Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang's joint trading and Wu Rongguang's trading of "Zijiang Enterprise" shares violated the provisions of Article 73 and Article 76, Paragraph 1 of the 2005 Securities Law, and constituted insider trading as described in Article 202 of the Securities Law of 2005.

In his defense materials, the party Chen Hu proposed that, first, it was found that the time of his knowledge of the inside information was not later than 11:38 a.m. on February 17, 2020, and the time of his knowledge should be no later than 0:00 a.m. on February 18, 2020; second, combined with the context of the WeChat record, his contact with Wu Rongguang was normal, reasonable and explainable, there was no abnormality, and it could not be inferred that the contact between the two was highly consistent with the trading behavior related to the "Wu Rongguang" securities account Third, the transfer of large amounts of funds between Wu Rongguang and Wu Rongguang is a normal fund loan, and the excess income after Wu Rongguang's repayment after excluding the principal and loan proceeds is the consideration for the 67% equity transfer of Shanghai Zhaoheng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhaoheng Technology"), which cannot be determined to have participated in the investment decision of the "Wu Rongguang" securities account; fourth, the calculation standards and methods of illegal income are not clear, and the amount of punishment is inaccurate and excessive, please consider the parties to cooperate with the investigation to adopt appropriate administrative penalties. In summary, it is requested to waive or mitigate or mitigate the punishment.

In his defense materials, the party Wu Rongguang proposed that, first, he deduced the possibility and feasibility of the spin-off and listing of Zijiang New Materials based on his own work, professional experience and open market information; second, the trading behavior of the "Zijiang Enterprise" stock in the securities account of "Wu Rongguang" was not abnormal, in line with his daily investment experience and trading logic, and was not highly consistent with the inside information, and at that time, the market value of the stocks held in his margin account was about 13 million, and there was a net amount of more than 8 million yuan, and his transaction "Zijiang Enterprise" was not abnormal. Stock funds account for a small proportion of his own investable amount; the third is that its large amount of funds transfer with Chen Hu is a normal capital loan, February 17, 2020 at 13:00 WeChat voice content to remind Chen Hu to agree to the transfer request of the loan years ago, in addition to returning the 1.6 million yuan loan, at the same time transferred the relevant investment profits to Chen Hu, purely to thank Chen Hu for his help over the years, and then Chen Hu also transferred 67% of the equity of Zhaoheng Technology to himself free of charge Fourth, the calculation standard of illegal income is inaccurate and the punishment is too heavy. In summary, it is requested to waive or mitigate or mitigate the punishment.

Upon review, our bureau believes that:

First, about the time when Chen Hu knew the inside information. Chen Hu argued that the time at which he learned the inside information was inaccurate and that the time of his knowledge should be no later than 00:00 on February 18, 2020. The evidence shows that at 9:35 on February 17, 2020, Gan Moujing, the representative of Zijiang Enterprise Securities, sent a notice to all supervisors, including Chen Hu, of the twelfth meeting of the Seventh Supervisory Board by e-mail, and the content of the e-mail has clearly stated that the theme of the meeting is the listing of Zijiang Enterprise's proposed spin-off subsidiary Zijiang New Materials to the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and the meeting materials are sent out simultaneously as an email attachment (compressed file format). At 11:38, Chen Hu sent a WeChat message to Gan Moujing saying "Can you not send a compressed file Thank you" and "My phone cannot be opened." In summary, Chen Hu had checked the above email before 11:38 on February 17, 2020, so it was determined that Chen Hu was aware of the inside information at the right time.

Second, about Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang's WeChat contact during the sensitive period of insider information. During the sensitive period of insider information, Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang had a WeChat voice call at 12:31 on February 17, 2020 for 8 minutes and 52 seconds, and a WeChat voice call for 1 minute and 10 seconds at 13:15 on the same day. The two parties argued that their contact was normal, reasonable and explainable, but neither of the two parties provided evidence related to the content of the two WeChat voice calls to prove their defense and explanation.

Third, about the abnormality of the trading behavior of the "Wu Rongguang" securities account. The two parties argued that their large-scale fund transfer was a normal fund loan, and that the 557,785 yuan indirectly transferred by Wu Rongguang to Chen Hu was not supported by evidence related to Chen Hu's transfer of 67% of the equity of Zhaoheng Technology to Wu Rongguang; Wu Rongguang argued that he deduced the possibility of the spin-off and listing of Zijiang New Materials based on empirical analysis and market information, and the relevant trading behavior was in line with his investment experience, transaction logic and value investment style, and could not reasonably explain the contact time, capital change time, and other opinions of the two parties. The fact that the trading hours are basically the same as the changes in the inside information and the time of disclosure; Wu Rongguang's argument that the funds of the "Zijiang Enterprise" stock he traded accounted for the small proportion of the market value of all the stocks held in the "Wu Rongguang" securities account and his margin account could not explain the fact that the "Wu Rongguang" securities account bought the shares of "Zijiang Enterprise" was obviously different from the usual trading habits of the account. In summary, the relevant defense opinions of the parties are insufficient to explain the obvious abnormalities in the trading behavior of "Wu Rongguang" securities account, and fail to provide evidence that excludes his use of insider information to engage in relevant securities trading activities.

Fourth, on the calculation of illegal gains and the measurement of penalties. The calculation of illegal proceeds from insider trading in this case adopts uniform law enforcement standards and consistent calculation methods, and after review, the calculation results of illegal gains are accurate. Administrative punishments imposed on parties have fully considered the facts, nature, circumstances, degree of social harm, and cooperation of the parties of the illegal conduct, and conform to the principle of proportionality of excessive punishment.

In summary, our bureau does not accept the defense opinions of Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang.

Based on the facts, nature, circumstances and degree of social harm of the parties' illegal acts, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 202 of the 2005 Securities Law, our bureau intends to decide:

1. Confiscate Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang's illegal gains of RMB587,918.24, impose a fine of RMB1,587,379.25 on Chen Hu and Wu Rongguang for their joint insider trading, and a fine of RMB176,375.47 on Wu Rongguang;

2. Wu Rongguang's illegal gains of RMB224,401.39 were confiscated and a fine of RMB224,401.39 was imposed on Wu Rongguang for insider trading.

The above-mentioned parties shall, within 15 days from the date of receipt of this penalty decision, remit the fines and forfeitures to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the bank with an account: the business department of the Beijing branch of China CITIC Bank, account number: 7111010189800000162, which shall be directly handed over to the State Treasury), and send a copy of the payment voucher with the name of the party to the Office of the Administrative Punishment Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and our bureau for the record. If the parties concerned are dissatisfied with this penalty decision, they may apply to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for administrative reconsideration within 60 days of receiving this penalty decision, or they may directly file an administrative lawsuit with the people's court with jurisdiction within 6 months from the date of receipt of this penalty decision. During the period of reconsideration and litigation, the implementation of the above-mentioned decision shall not be suspended.
