Raffles Interior Ltd. ( (HK:1376) ) has issued an announcement.

Raffles Interior Limited has disclosed that it received an anonymous complaint letter alleging undisclosed concert-party arrangements and breaches of Hong Kong securities disclosure rules by potential substantial shareholder Mr. Cao Chengpeng. The complaint claims Mr. Cao may effectively control around 20% of the company through associated parties, significantly above the approximately 9.3% stake reported in public filings, and cites documents and address links that the company is still verifying.

The letter also raises fresh concerns about former offeror Mr. Zheng Nenghuan, accusing him of potentially violating takeover rules by entering or planning special deals with selected shareholders on more favorable terms within six months after a mandatory general offer closed. These allegations, which follow earlier integrity concerns involving Mr. Zheng, could prompt heightened regulatory scrutiny, raise governance questions, and create uncertainty for Raffles Interior’s shareholders while investigations are ongoing.
