Summary by Sections Company Announcement - On July 29, Liyuan Technology announced that its actual controller, Shen Wanzhong, was sentenced to one year in prison, with a probation period of one and a half years, and fined 3.3 million yuan for the crime of disclosing important information in violation of regulations [2][3].

The Zhejiang Securities Regulatory Bureau issued a warning letter just five months after the fraudulent annual report was disclosed, followed by a formal investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) [5][7][12].
