Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the legal dispute between Cambricon Technologies and its former CTO, Liang Jun, who is suing the company for labor disputes and claiming compensation for stock incentive losses amounting to 4.287 billion yuan, which is 1.5 times the company's revenue for the first half of 2025 [3][10]. Group 1: Background of the Dispute - In July 2017, Cambricon invited Liang Jun, a former senior technical expert from Huawei, to join as CTO, including core incentive clauses in his employment agreement [5]. - Liang Jun signed a "Shareholding Plan B" in 2019, indirectly holding company equity through employee shareholding platforms, with a total investment of approximately 52,600 yuan [7]. - The core disagreement arose in February 2022 when Liang Jun left the company due to differing views on the company's development path, leading to a legal battle over the buyback of his shares [8]. Group 2: Legal Proceedings - On January 21, 2025, Cambricon filed a lawsuit against Liang Jun, seeking to buy back his shares for approximately 52,000 yuan [9]. - On October 31, 2025, Liang Jun filed a lawsuit against Cambricon, claiming a labor relationship from 2017 to 2022 and demanding compensation for stock incentive losses of 4.287 billion yuan [10]. - Liang Jun's claim is based on the highest stock price of 372 yuan per share during the period from the stock unlock date in January 2024 to the lawsuit date, asserting that his departure was forced due to the company's failure to fulfill the employment agreement [11]. Group 3: Company’s Defense - Cambricon responded to the lawsuit, emphasizing that the 4.3 billion yuan claim is merely Liang Jun's assertion and does not reflect the final judgment, stating that the case does not impact daily operations [12]. - The company argues that Liang Jun's equity was derived from the "Shareholding Plan," which supersedes the initial employment agreement, and that the buyback was legally justified due to the lock-up period [15]. - Previous lawsuits filed by Liang Jun regarding his equity claims have been dismissed by courts, reinforcing Cambricon's position [15].
