WATERDROP'S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
Waterdrop operates an insurance technology platform and is based in Beijing, China. On May 6, 2021, a registration statement (the "Registration Statement) on a Form F-1 for the IPO filed by Waterdrop was declared effective. The complaint against Waterdrop alleges that the Registration Statement failed to disclose that Waterdrop was engaged in a variety of market abuses used to artificially inflate Waterdrop's short-term financial results in the lead-up to the IPO, including: (1) operating insurance platforms without proper governmental authorizations; (2) mispricing risks for consumers; and (3) illicitly using client information.
On September 13, 2021, the day before the complaint was filed, Waterdrop ADSs dropped to a low of just $3 per ADS, 75% below the $12 per ADS price in the IPO.
