Investigation regarding statements made by DiDi in connection with its initial public offering (IPO) and the Cyberspace Administration of China’s review for violation of regulations.
07/05/2021
The Wall Street Journal reports that Didi was urged by the cybersecurity agency to delay its initial public offering (IPO) to conduct “a thorough self-examination of its network security” but chose not to do so.
“Back in Beijing, officials, especially those at the Cyberspace Administration of China, remained wary of the ride-hailing company’s troves of data potentially falling into foreign hands as a result of greater public disclosure associated with a U.S. listing, the people said.”
“The Cyberspace Administration waited a day after the major political event to deliver a one-two punch to the company. On Friday, it started its own cybersecurity review into Didi and blocked the company’s app from accepting new users; and on Sunday, it ordered mobile app stores to pull Didi from circulation.“

This is a class action on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired DiDi: (a) American Depositary Shares pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s June 2021 initial public offering; and/or (b) securities between June 30, 2021 and July 2, 2021, inclusive.
According to the complaint, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants allegedly failed to disclose to investors:
(1) that DiDi’s apps did not comply with applicable laws and regulations governing privacy protection and the collection of personal information;
(2) that, as a result, the Company was reasonably likely to incur scrutiny from the Cyberspace Administration of China;
(3) that the CAC had already warned DiDi to delay its IPO to conduct a self-examination of its network security;
(4) that, as a result of the foregoing, DiDi’s apps were reasonably likely to be taken down from app stores in China, which would have an adverse effect on its financial results and operations;
(5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
