In connection with the change of control at the fashion group SMCP in 2021/22, the major shareholder European TopSoho (ETS) and Dynamic Treasure Group failed to make threshold notifications; ETS also disseminated a misleading press release. SMCP itself failed to maintain the confidentiality of inside information. Sanctions imposed by the Enforcement Committee of France's financial markets authority (Autorité des marchés financiers, AMF): Chenran Qiu 1 million EUR, ETS 400,000 EUR, DTG 300,000 EUR, SMCP 20,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Issuers must effectively shield inside information even when the conflict originates with the major shareholder.
