No Recovery, No Fee! Rosen Law Firm Explains Securities Class Actions

Many investors have heard of 'securities class actions,' but may not truly understand what they are—or how they can benefit them. Today, we’ve compiled answers to several of the most frequently asked questions to help you quickly grasp the essentials👇 1️⃣ What is a securities class action? 👉 Simply put, it is a legal mechanism whereby investors collectively sue a company for damages caused by its false statements, financial fraud, or inaccurate disclosures—resulting in a decline in stock price. 2️⃣ What is the 'class period'? 👉 It refers to the time frame during which the stock price was artificially inflated due to false information. Only investors who purchased shares—and suffered losses—during this period are eligible to join the lawsuit and receive compensation. 3️⃣ What is a 'lead plaintiff'? 👉 The lead plaintiff serves as the 'representative plaintiff,' appointed by the court to act on behalf of all injured investors and steer the case. While typically the investor with the largest financial loss, the ultimate recovery and settlement benefits all qualified investors. 4️⃣ Advantages of securities class actions ✔️ Investors avoid filing individual lawsuits—saving time and effort ✔️ Contingency-fee basis: no upfront legal costs for plaintiffs ✔️ Even relatively small losses can be recovered collectively

Surviving U.S. Litigation: A Guide for Chinese Companies — Episode 06: Why Does Disclosure Become a Trigger for Securities Class Actions After Listing in the U.S.?

The Didi case offers Chinese companies listing in the U.S. lessons that go beyond monetary penalties—to disclosure logic itself: regulatory risks cannot be reduced to boilerplate language. If a particular risk has already materialized—even manifesting in communications with regulators, remediation efforts, operational restrictions, or significant uncertainty—the company must carefully assess whether its disclosures are sufficiently comprehensive. This is especially critical for heavily regulated industries, such as: • Data security • Platform economy • Financial technology (FinTech) • Education and training • Healthcare and life sciences • Autonomous driving • Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithms • Mobility, logistics, and payment services—sectors involving public administration For these industries, risk disclosures must move beyond generic statements like 'policies may change.' Far more important is: what did the company know at the time—and what did it actually disclose to the market? Six Reasons Why Chinese Companies Often Underestimate U.S. Securities Class Actions: First, Chinese companies often treat disclosures as fundraising documents. In the U.S. market, disclosures are first and foremost legally binding documents—only secondarily tools for investor communication. Second, risk factors are frequently treated as standardized templates. While many IPO prospectuses contain lengthy risk sections, abstract, generic language cannot substitute for concrete explanations of known, specific risks. Third, an information gap exists between business units and legal/disclosure teams. Regulatory communications, internal audit findings, unusual customer behavior, and data compliance issues may be scattered across departments. If the disclosure team remains unaware, those facts cannot be accurately reflected in official filings. Fourth, growth narratives often overshadow compliance scrutiny. At the time of U.S. listing, companies tend to emphasize growth, scale, market share, and technological advantages. Yet securities litigation will inevitably ask: Do these narratives rest on factual foundations? Have key limiting conditions been omitted? Fifth, ongoing post-listing disclosures carry equal weight. Seven Ways Companies Can Reduce Securities Class Action Risk: First, treat disclosure as an evidentiary process. Every key business metric—including user count, order volume, GMV, revenue, retention rate, customer acquisition cost, and related-party transactions—must be supported by verifiable documentation and traceable to underlying records. Second, avoid templated risk factor disclosures. If a risk has already emerged, vague phrasing like 'this risk may occur' is insufficient. Companies must evaluate whether they should disclose actual events that have occurred—including regulatory engagement, remediation directives, or concrete uncertainties. Third, establish a formal disclosure committee. Legal, finance, internal controls, business operations, data compliance, and investor relations teams should all participate. Disclosure is not something drafted solely by investment bankers and outside counsel—it is the integrated output of internal information sharing across the enterprise. Fourth, ensure consistency between executives’ public statements and formal disclosures. Fifth, promptly escalate major negative developments. Regulatory investigations, audit issues, financial anomalies, data security incidents, significant customer attrition, or fundamental shifts in business models must all trigger formal disclosure evaluation. Sixth, document the disclosure decision-making process. Records should clearly indicate why certain information was disclosed (or withheld), the rationale behind each decision, and who participated in the assessment. In litigation, such documentation may serve as vital evidence demonstrating the company’s diligence and reasonable judgment.
