BEIJING, China — Luckin Coffee Inc. (OTC:LKNCY) yesterday announced the receipt of penalty decisions (the “Penalty Decisions”) from the Chinese State Administration for Market Regulation and certain of its sub-bureaus (collectively the “SAMR”).
The SAMR imposed an aggregate fine of RMB61.0 million on two Luckin Coffee entities and certain implicated third-party companies (“Implicated Companies”).
This is due to their involvement in the fabricated transactions, which the Company disclosed in its press release on April 2, 2020 (the “Fabricated Transactions”).
Pursuant to the Penalty Decisions, the conduct related to the Fabricated Transactions violated the PRC Anti-Unfair Competition Laws.
The Company is fully committed to cooperating with the SAMR, and will dedicate all necessary resources to ensure full compliance by the Implicated Companies with the Penalty Decisions.
