24th September 2024 | Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a 9-month suspension to ex-Ever-Long Securities Responsible Officer & Director Wilson Cheung Kin for breaching SFC Code of Conduct & Sponsor Guidelines, failing to discharge duties as sponsor principal & as senior management. Hong Kong SFC (23/9/24): “The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has suspended Mr Wilson Cheung Kin, a former responsible officer (RO) and director of Ever-Long Securities Company Limited (Ever-Long), for nine months from 17 September 2024 to 16 June 2025 for breaching the SFC’s Code of Conduct and Sponsor Guidelines (Notes 1 to 3). Cheung was the sponsor principal in charge of supervision of the execution of a listing application between 2016 and 2018 for which Ever-Long was the sponsor (Note 4). The SFC found that Cheung failed to discharge his duties as a sponsor principal, an RO and a member of the senior management of Ever-Long, in that he had failed to: 1) exercise due skill, care and diligence in handling the listing application in question; 2) diligently supervise his subordinates to carry out the sponsor work undertaken by Ever-Long; and 3) ensure the maintenance of appropriate standards of conduct by Ever-Long. In determining the sanction, the SFC took into account Cheung’s cooperation in resolving the SFC’s concerns and his otherwise clean disciplinary record with the SFC.”
