SHANGHAI--Lei Jie, the chairman of Founder Securities Co., has
been out of contact since Jan. 19, the company said in a
statement.
The company said it has been unable to contact Mr. Lei, who
asked for a one-week sick leave through his relatives on Jan. 12,
according to a filing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The company's internal operations and management was affected by
his absence to a certain degree, said the brokerage, adding that
the exact situation needs further verification by the company.
Mr. Lei is also the chairman of Credit Suisse Founder Securities
Limited, according to the company's website, a securities-company
joint venture with Credit Suisse.
