The filed complaint alleges that VNET Group, Inc. made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) GenTao, which is owned by VNET, was experiencing financial difficulties and was at risk of defaulting on the facility agreement that VNET's co-founder, Josh Sheng Chen had entered into with Bold Ally; (2) as a result, there was a substantial likelihood that Bold Ally would acquire Sheng Chen’s significant ownership stake in VNET; (3) to restore Sheng Chen’s voting interest in VNET, the Company would issue newly created shares to Sheng Chen, diluting investors’ interest; (4) 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.
