The Ultrasonic AG is a Germany-based holding company of the Chinese shoe Herstelles Ultrasonic ( Chinese 索力 , Pinyin suǒ lì ).
The company is part of a series of IPOs by Chinese companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange that disappointed investors as a result of dubious business practices.
history
In December 2011 Ultrasonic AG went public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the company was listed in the Prime Standard . The aim of going public was to invest the proceeds from the issue in the existing production of Ultrasonic.
In mid-September 2014, the two board members Qingyong Wu (CEO) and Minghong Wu (COO) suddenly disappeared, shortly before the company's cash and cash equivalents were transferred to accounts outside the company. A month earlier, the company had taken out a $ 60 million loan and withdrawn in full. The German Holding AG only left a six-digit euro amount of liquid funds. Both board members were then dismissed by the supervisory board.
In March 2015, the company filed for bankruptcy .
