MINISO Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: MNSO) Securities Class Action:
The litigation focuses on MINISO's repeated claims, enabling it to complete its IPO, that its business model was a high margin, asset-light network of thousands of independent franchise stores who shoulder capital expenditures and operating expenses, and on its claims it would use IPO net proceeds to expand its business operations.
The complaint alleges that the IPO offering documents misleadingly stated or failed to disclose: (1) MINISO and undisclosed related parties owned and controlled many more MINISO stores than previously stated; (2) as a result, MINISO concealed its true costs; (3) MINISO mischaracterized its true business model; (4) MINISO and its Chairman engaged in planned unusual and unclear transactions; (5) as the result of at least one of these transactions, MINISO risks breaching contracts with Chinese authorities; and, (6) MINISO would imminently and drastically drop its franchise fees.
On July 26, 2022, analyst Blue Orca Capital published a scathing report concluding in part that MINISO owns and operates about 40% of MINISO stores. Hundreds of stores are registered to company executives or persons connected to its Chairman and, 'MINISO's chairman, Ye Guofu, bilked hundreds of millions of freshly raised capital from public investors through a series of crooked transactions revolving around the purchase and construction of a massive headquarters in China.'
As of the date of the filing of the action, MINISO's ADSs trade almost 70% below the IPO price.
'We're focused on investors' losses and proving MINISO misrepresented its asset-light business model and how it would use of its IPO proceeds,' said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
