The investigation concerns whether JA Solar and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

On July 16, 2018, JA Solar, a manufacturer of high-performance solar power products, completed its merger (the “Merger”) with JASO Top Holdings Limited (“JASO Top”), JASO Holdings Limited (“Holdco”), JASO Parent Limited (“Parent”), and JASO Acquisition Limited (“Merger Sub”) pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated November 17, 2017 by and among the parties. Following the Merger, the Company ceased being publicly traded on the NASDAQ. However, shortly after the Company’s was delisted from the NASDAQ, it was announced that the now controller of JA Solar had signed an “Important Assets Reorganization Intention Agreement” with Chinese-based company Tianye Tolian for the purchase of 100 percent equity of JA Solar via issuance of shares. The structure of this deal operated as a “backdoor listing”, which allowed JA Solar to be relisted on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange at a multiple, to the detriment of shareholders who unknowingly sold JA Solar’s stock and ADS at substantially deflated values during the Class Period as part of the scheme.
