The fourth fixed deposit has not arrived
The 300 million deposit certificate pledge case of Keyuan Wisdom is still in the investigation stage
The listed company Keyuan Wisdom and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Nantong Branch's nearly 300 million yuan deposit certificate pledge case has not been resolved.
On January 17, Keyuan Wisdom issued an announcement saying that Smart Energy Investment Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, used temporarily idle funds to purchase time deposits in Nantong Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank.
Among them, the maturity date of the fourth deposit is January 15, 2022, and the deposit amount is 50 million yuan. As of the announcement date, the deposit has not yet been credited.
According to the announcement, Keyuan Wisdom has accumulated 210 million yuan of time deposit certificates in the Nantong branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, and 85 million yuan of time deposits have not expired.
Keyuan Wisdom stated that it will continue to actively take reasonable and legal measures to safeguard the interests of the company and all shareholders. The case is still in the investigation stage.
On November 15, 2021, Keyuan Wisdom issued an announcement, revealing that nearly 300 million yuan of deposits deposited in Nantong Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank were pledged to unrelated third parties without knowing it, which aroused the attention of all parties.
According to the announcement, on November 10, 2020, Smart Energy Investment Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Keyuan Wisdom, used the temporarily idle self-owned funds of 40 million yuan to purchase the time deposit of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Nantong Branch. The product maturity date is November 2021. 10th.
However, the company has not received the funds until November 15, 2021.
Keyuan Wisdom inquired with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Nantong Branch and learned that the 40 million yuan must be deposited last year as a pledge for the bank acceptance bill issued by Nantong Ruihao International Trade Co., Ltd. on the day it was deposited last year.
Because Nantong Ruihao failed to repay the debt on time, the 40 million yuan fixed deposit could not be redeemed in time when it expired.
Keyuan Wisdom found that in addition to the first fixed deposit of 40 million yuan, Smart Energy Investment Co., Ltd. has also pledged 5 fixed deposits in the Nantong branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, with a total amount of 295 million yuan.
Keyuan Wisdom stated that it has no knowledge of all the above pledges, and the trustee has no relationship with the company.
Keyuan Wisdom reported to the police on November 15 last year.
On the same day, the person in charge of the Nanjing Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank responded that the Nantong Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank also made a criminal report to the public security organ while carrying out the investigation.
去年12月10日，科远智慧再次发布公告称，公司在浦发银行南通分行第二笔、第三笔定期存款到期未到账，这两笔存款到期日都是2021年12月9日，存款金额分别为8000万元、4000万元。
科远智慧发布的公告显示，智慧能源投资公司在浦发银行南通分行还有两笔已质押的定期存款没有到期，到期日分别为今年3月25日和5月18日，金额分别为3500万元和5000万元，总计8500万元。
去年12月，浦发银行回应媒体称，科远智慧能源投资有限公司质押在浦发银行的涉案存单已由公安机关依法调取并管控，该行正全力配合公安机关调查取证工作，以期尽早还原事实真相。
科远智慧并非首个存单被“莫名”质押的企业。有媒体报道，去年10月23日，济民可信集团两家子公司称在渤海银行南京分行的28亿元存款在不知情下为一家无关公司华业石化提供贷款质押担保。此前在与银行交涉无果后，济民可信于去年9月3日报警。
