On December 6, 2018, Hindenburg Research ("Hindenburg") published a report entitled "Yangtze River Port & Logistics: Total Zero. On-the-Ground Research Shows Assets Appear to be Largely Fabricated". The Hindenburg report described Yangtze as "a scheme run by its Chairman & controlling shareholder to siphon money away from U.S. public markets." Among other allegations, the Hindenburg report asserted that Yangtze's "only operating entity has been declared insolvent in China and is involved in multiple undisclosed legal proceedings" and, citing "government-sourced documents and interviews with local officials, we believe that at least 77% of the company's reported assets are fabricated."
Following publication of the Hindenburg Report, Yangtze's stock price fell $3.34 per share, or 28.74%, over the following two trading sessions, closing at $8.28 per share on December 7, 2018.
