Wins Finance Holdings ("Wins") is a Chinese financial services company engaged in providing loan guarantees, equipment leases, and direct loans to small and medium sized businesses.

According to the law firm press release, the Complaint alleges that throughout the class period, Wins made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding its projected earnings, valuation, and future business operations in order to artificially inflate the price of Wins securities. Among other allegations, it is alleged that Wins falsely stated it maintained a U.S. headquarters in order to gain inclusion on the Russell indices when, in fact, its headquarters are located in China, and that Wins management overstated its value and engaged in other market manipulations during the class period.

The first filed case was voluntarily dismissed on June 16, 2017. A related action continues in the Central District of California under 17-CV-02983.

Defendant filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended Complaint on October 24. On February 28, 2018, the Court issued an Order denying Defendant's Motion to Dismiss.

On January 28, 2019, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement. On February 26, the Court issued an Order preliminarily approving the Settlement.
