Huscoke Disputes HK$700,000 Statutory Demand Amid Harassment Claims and Ongoing Trading Suspension

Huscoke Holdings Limited ( (HK:0704) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Huscoke Holdings Limited has received a statutory demand from Anpa Financial Services Group Limited seeking payment of about HK$700,000 for financial printing and related services provided between 2022 and 2023, a claim the company disputes amid allegations of harassment and intimidation by a person claiming to represent the creditor. The board believes the disputed amount is not material to its operations, questions the validity of the demand, plans to lodge objections and negotiate within the 21-day deadline, and notes that its shares remain suspended from trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange while advising investors to exercise caution.

The company has reported to police several incidents in early 2024 involving nuisance letters, threatening calls, emails, and alleged improper collection of personal data targeting a director and the company secretary, which it considers to potentially constitute criminal offences beyond a normal commercial fee dispute. While the board maintains that the situation does not amount to inside information requiring mandatory disclosure, it issued this voluntary announcement at the request of the Stock Exchange’s Listing Division and will provide further updates in line with statutory requirements.
