In a statement the company said that trading of the counter on the Shenzhen stock market would remain halted until it made a unveiled a restructuring that would involve “major adjustments.” The company expects to detail the changes on Wednesday, along with publication of its overdue set of 2016 financial results.

Headed by Jia Yueting, Le Shi revealed in October last year that the group had run into financial difficulties as a result of over-rapid expansion.
