Hong Kong SFC Files Court Disqualification Orders Against 4 ex-Directors of Century Energy International Holdings (Previously China Oil Gangran Energy Group) for Failure to Supervise 4 Major Operating Subsidiaries in China Resulting in $23.6 Million (HKD 184 Million) Losses in 2019 for Century Energy International Holdings, 4 ex-Directors are Gregory Ho Chun Kit, Zheng Jian Peng, Eugenia Yang & Vincent Lau Sung Tat
20th September | Hong Kong
The Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission (SFC) has filed court disqualification orders against 4 ex-Directors of Century Energy International Holdings (Previously China Oil Gangran Energy Group) for failure to supervise 4 major operating subsidiaries in China, resulting in $23.6 million (HKD 184 million) losses in 2019 for Century Energy International Holdings. The 4 ex-Directors are Gregory Ho Chun Kit, Zheng Jian Peng, Eugenia Yang & Vincent Lau Sung Tat. Announcement (19/9/25): “The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is seeking disqualification orders from the Court of First Instance against four former directors of Century Energy International Holdings Limited, formerly known as China Oil Gangran Energy Group Holdings Limited (China Oil Gangran Energy), in legal proceedings under section 214 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO) (Note 1). The four individuals named in the SFC’s proceedings are: Mr Gregory Ho Chun Kit, former executive director; Mr Zheng Jian Peng, former executive director, chief financial officer and company secretary; Ms Eugenia Yang, and Mr Vincent Lau Sung Tat, both former independent non-executive directors (Note 2). The SFC’s action follows an investigation into China Oil Gangran Energy’s loss of control over four major operating subsidiaries in the Mainland (Note 3). As a consequence, they were deconsolidated from China Oil Gangran Energy with effect from 1 January 2019, resulting in a loss of $184 million for the company for the year ended 31 March 2019. The SFC alleges that the former directors failed to properly supervise these four major operating subsidiaries in the Mainland; nor did they act in the company’s best interests. As a result, their prolonged lack of oversight led to the deconsolidation of these operating subsidiaries and significant financial losses. Additionally, Ho, Yang, and Lau were responsible for China Oil Gangran Energy’s publication of a circular in 2014 containing inaccurate or misleading information about one of the operating subsidiaries in the Mainland.”
