Qihoo 360 (QIHU) agreed to settle $29.75M with shareholders to end claims over buyout and relisting in China.

Case Details:

Qihoo was taken private for $9.4B by a group of buyers, including its top executives, in a deal finalized on July 15, 2016.

After the buyout, Qihoo split its businesses. On November 2, 2017, SJEC announced a backdoor listing with Qihoo's main businesses.

Qihoo's shares started trading on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in February, 2018, with a market capitalization of $62B by the end of the day.

Based on these events, Qihoo was accused of the following details:
  • Qihoo had undisclosed plans to relist shares in China before closing the deal.
  • Shareholders were allegedly not provided necessary details for an informed vote.
Qihoo 360 has now decided to end all the allegations related to the relisting and buyout and pay a $29.75M settlement to investors.
