Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP and Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP File a Consolidated Complaint in the Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit Against Luckin Coffee Inc. for Violations of Federal Securities Laws

RADNOR, Pa. & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The law firms of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP and Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP, as Co-Lead Counsel, announce that the court-appointed Lead Plaintiff represented by the firms have filed a Consolidated Complaint in the securities fraud class action lawsuit pending against Luckin Coffee Inc. (�Luckin”) (formerly trading Nasdaq: LK; now OTC: LKNCY). This action, captioned In Re Luckin Coffee Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 1:20-cv-01293-LJL-JLC, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and alleges violations of federal securities laws on behalf of Luckin investors who purchased or acquired the American Depository Shares (“ADS”) of Luckin from May 17, 2019 through April 1, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”), including those who purchased ADSs in or traceable to Luckin’s initial public offering on or about May 17, 2019 (the “IPO”), or Luckin’s secondary public offering on or about January 10, 2020 (the “SPO”).

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Luckin’s ADSs during the Class Period, including those who purchased ADSs in or traceable to the May 2019 IPO or in the January 2020 SPO, may receive additional information about this litigation by clicking https://www.ktmc.com/new-cases/luckin-coffee-inc-securities-litigation?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=luckin_coffee#overview or contacting Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP (James Maro, Jr., Esq. or Adrienne Bell, Esq.) at (844) 887-9500 or (610) 667-7706, or via e-mail at info@ktmc.com, or by clicking https://www.blbglaw.com/cases/luckin-coffee or contacting Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP (John Rizio-Hamilton, Esq.) at (212) 554-1505 or via email at johnr@blbglaw.com.

As alleged in the Consolidated Complaint, defendants made a number of false and misleading statements both prior to and during the Class Period. Specifically, before its May 2019 IPO and throughout the Class Period, Luckin billed itself as one of China’s fastest-growing companies, consistently touting its plans to overtake Starbucks as China’s largest coffee chain. Luckin saw its share price soar over 200% between May 2019 and January 2020, during which it also raised over $1.8 billion from unsuspecting investors in a series of public and private offerings. But less than one year after going public, Luckin admitted that its purported growth was a sham, confessing that it deliberately fabricated hundreds of millions of dollars in sales as part of a fraudulent scheme that pre-dated its IPO. Following these shocking admissions, Luckin’s ADSs were delisted from the NASDAQ exchange, and its senior officers and directors—including its founders, former chairman Charles Zhengyao Lu and former CEO Jenny Zhiya Qian —were unceremoniously ousted from the company.

All told, once Luckin’s fraud unraveled, investors suffered billions of dollars in losses on their investments. The price of Luckin’s ADSs cratered from a Class Period high of $51.38 on January 17, 2020 to just $1.38 on June 26, 2020, the last day its ADSs traded publicly on the NASDAQ.
