Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. is a Chinese battery and electric vehicle manufacturer.

According to the law firm press release, the lawsuit alleges that Defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) certain areas in Kandi’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the first three quarters for the year ended December 31, 2016 required adjustment; (2) in turn, Kandi lacked effective controls over financial reporting; and (3) as a result, Defendants’ statements about Kandi’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On November 14, 2016, Kandi announced the abrupt resignation of its CFO. On this news, shares of Kandi fell $0.40 per share or over 10% from its previous closing price to close at $3.50 per share on November 14, 2016, damaging investors. On March 14, 2017, Kandi revealed that its previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the first three quarters for the year ended December 31, 2016 will need to be restated. On this news shares of Kandi fell $0.30 per share or approximately 7% to close at $4.05 per share on March 14, 2017, further damaging investors.
